Abstract: To any pointed metric space \(M\) corresponds a Banach space called the Lipschitz-free space over \(M\), which is the predual of the space of real-valued Lipschitz functions defined on \(M\). It is natural and useful to investigate for which metric spaces \(M\) the corresponding free space has the bounded approximation property. We will display some observations and open problems in this field.
