| Abstract | In recent years in both developed and developing countries interest has focused on Small and Medium Sized enterprise (SMEs ), The reason for this is the employment generation and income distribution potential. However, for starting new business, SMEs face many difficulties to obtain funds from formal markets. To encourage SMEs growth, governments in many countries have taken special schemes which most of the time include soft loans to SMEs. In Malaysia Intermediaries and special support organizations are involved in delivering, such services to SMEs. However, in developing country such Cambodia, the government schemes failed to stimulate expected growth of SMEs. Problems exist in the functioning of intermediaries and support organizations. The objective of this study is to identify problems faced by Cambodian financial institutions and SMEs and find out some solutions to those problems from Malaysian financing systems. Results indicate that the Malaysian government is intensely dealing with the development of SMEs by setting up many programs and support organizations to assist all the schemes of SMEs. The Malaysian government have also created an efficient financial market for SMEs. This finding can help the government and intermediaries in Cambodia to improve the efficiency of the financial market in Cambodia. |
