The real economy is the part of a country's economy that produces real goods and services, rather than the part that consists of financial services such as banks (which is known as the financial economy).

Financing SMEs lubricates the wheels of the real economy by focusing on the manufacture and provision of real goods and services, instead of creating increasingly arcane financial instruments like derivatives whose value is derived from other underlying assets.

For this reason, CCM focuses on financing businesses with tangible economic activity, underpinned by real assets or inventory.

We firmly believe this is the essence of a just and socially impactful economic model.
