Abstract This paper discusses the most important problems facing the banking finance for Egyptian Small and Micro Industries (SMIs) which are: Firstly, the demand side problems (SMIs) such as: (1) Most of the Egyptian SMIs are working in the informal economy. (2) Owners of the SMIs (especially youth and young entrepreneurs) do not have the necessary or the sufficient experience required for their business. (3) 2 The majority of the Egyptian SMIs are not qualified for getting banking finance. Secondly the supply side problems (Banks) such as: (1) The Egyptian banking system does not have efficient inistitutions or infrastructure. (2) High interest rates. (3) Lending the Egyptian SMIs involves higher costs and risks. Thirdly the Egyptian business environment's problems such as: (1) Uncertainty about the Egyptian government's policies due to the absence of a specific economic vision.
