Caribbean firms consistently lag behind the ROSE benchmark. An important factor is access to finance, characterized by heavy reliance on collateral and near absence of Credit Rating Agencies.

Block-chain has the potential to disrupt the way credit-worthiness is assessed; not only aggregating alternative information, but maximizing friction-less transactions, security, and individual autonomy.

Compete Caribbean and LSE have partnered to conduct research in this area, so findings can help the region understand the opportunities of a new system to assess credit-worthiness of Caribbean SMEs.

A presentation of this research, will be streamlined live on our Facebook page on April 27, 2018 10:00am AST, for those interested.
