Abstract
China maintained a remarkable average annual GDP (gross domestic products) growth rate of more than 9% for more than a decade. By late 2003, its economy started showing signs of overheating. In order to prevent a bubble burst of the economy and to ensure a soft landing, the Chinese government took various steps to curb the unsustainable growth rates. Many direct and indirect actions initiated by the government forced the local banks to hold back loans for new projects. This directive of the government hit the privately-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) the hardest, leaving them with very little avenues to raise funds. The case examines the state of SMEs during the credit squeeze phase. The case also gives an overview of the alternative measures that these enterprises were planning in order to raise funds.
