Abstract
This chapter examines the effectiveness of trading venues in facilitating SME growth, with a particular focus on liquidity and regulatory oversight. We explore the challenges SMEs face in accessing finance, the role of trading venues in addressing these challenges, and the impact of such venues on SME growth and development. Furthermore, we discuss the potential risks associated with trading venues, such as the lack of liquidity and regulatory oversight, and their impact on investors’ safety. As such, this chapter contributes to the ongoing discussion on how to support SMEs’ growth and development in a safe and sustainable manner. Our examination of trading venues’ effectiveness in facilitating SME growth and providing access to finance provides insights into how to improve their role in supporting SMEs.
