This paper explores the factors influencing bank financing for SMEs in Taiwan and the effect of placing the Small and Medium Enterprise Credit Guarantee Fund under the control of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. As annual economic information is insufficient to produce a large sample, we use the Ordinary Least Squares method with a bootstrap to investigate the effect of the overall economy on lending to SMEs. On the other hand, considering banks individual effect, we adopt method of panel data with instrumental variables.The empirical evidence suggests that the Credit Guarantee Fund does play a complementary role in bank lending to SMEs. Most importantly, after the Credit Guarantee Fund was taken under the control of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, banks have become more willing to provide loans to SMEs.
