Why OECD Work on SMEs Policy Matters
The OECD provides governments with the analytical basis to develop policies that create an enabling environment for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). The organization’s focus helps identify and address the specific challenges SMEs face, such as facilitating access to finance, reducing regulatory barriers, fostering digitalization and enabling skills development. By providing policy recommendations and sharing best practices, the OECD fosters entrepreneurship, and promotes inclusive and sustainable economic development.
