Jeunesse et création d’entreprise ne riment pas encore suffisamment bien dans notre pays.
Seulement 6% des créateurs ont moins de 25 ans.
Les raisons sont multiples : le manque d’expérience invoqué, la non solvabilité des porteurs et une réelle frilosité du monde bancaire plus à cheval encore sur le financement des projets ou encore le manque de diplôme.
reluctance on the part of banks ***plus à cheval encore*** to fund projects

Bourth (X)
: I might have said "obdurate" or "intransigeant", but it amounts to the same thing. "More than" who or what, I wonder.
