Using economic data, this report will analyze a timely finance topic of relevance for small businesses such as; patterns in small business lending by loan and lender type and sizes, the role of community banks in small business lending, Fintech and artificial intelligence in the small business credit market and their contributions and challenges, the impact of bank and non-bank suppliers engaged in today’s small business lending, recent developments and trends in small business capital access amid inflation and unpredictable interest rates.
