Details
In the wake of COVID-19, the strength of our economy will largely depend on the economic recovery of our small businesses. But the uneven distribution of pandemic relief has highlighted the limitations of our current financial system to equitably deploy resources at scale.
In an effort to increase access to small business credit for underserved communities, including low-income communities and communities of color, the San Francisco Fed is initiating an ongoing effort to dive deeper into the problem, identify possible solutions, and explore the potential options for action.
