[David Gichuru, Standard] Banks have been asked to change their attitude on lending to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in light of a new study that discredits their tag as high-risk borrowers. New research by ICEA Lion Asset Management shows some banks have reported higher Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) from their corporate customers compared to SMEs.
