Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: SME development as a major domestic policy objective that is consistent and reinforced within APEC would not only engender inclusive growth, but also enable SMEs to become drivers of growth for the domestic, as well as the regional economy. This paper provides some background about the setting, locally in SME development policy and regionally in APEC SME activities, and offers recommendations for APEC cooperation for mainstreaming SMEs in the regional and global market.

Keywords: eSS; Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs); domestic policy; inclusive growth; regional growth; development policy; APEC SME activities; global market; employment; Philippine Government Policies and Programs. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
