Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises account for 90 per cent of businesses and more than 50 per cent of employment worldwide.
They are also major contributors to GDP in developing countries.
Today we celebrate the vital contributions of MSMEs to advancing the SDGs and building resilient, inclusive economies.
For these enterprises to continue to thrive during challenging times, MSMEs need comprehensive support from governments, financial institutions and investors to facilitate access to finance, capacity building and appropriate technologies.
At UN DESA, we are empowering MSMEs through targeted policy and advisory services that strengthen national capacities to support these enterprises.
We also directly benefits MSMEs, focusing on the critical skills they need to succeed as profitable and environmentally sustainable enterprises.
Let us continue to work together in support of MSMEs.
Thank you!
