This reform will not lead to a significant change in recoveries to the PPF compared to current returns.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The Government does not expect this reform to affect significantly SMEs\u2019 access to finance or corporate insolvencies, and in line with the Government\u2019s commitment to open and consultative policymaking is engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders to ensure policy changes are well informed and based upon the best available evidence.<\/p>"}
