This report, intended as the first in a series of assessments of the provision of finance to businesses in deprived communities, follows a recommendation by the Government-appointed Policy Action Team 3, in its November 1999 report “Enterprise and Social Exclusion”, that: “the Government should invite the Bank of England to report regularly on finance for business in deprived areas (and for groups within deprived communities).”
