We invite you to discuss the first draft of the Strategy for SME development!

On November 17, the Ministry of Economy and Trade together with the FORBIZ project presented the Strategy for development of small and medium-sized enterprises till 2020.

Key objectives of the Strategy are:

  • TOP-20 in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking;
  • increasing the market segment with competitive structure from 42.7% (2015) to 49.5%;
  • TOP-3 in the economy policy index of SMEs;
  • increasing the share of SMEs in gross value added from 55.8% (2014) to 60.2%;
  • increasing the share of exporting companies from 11.7% (2013) to 14.1%.

The Head of the Better Regulation Delivery Office Oleksiy Honcharuk moderated the panel discussion “Entrepreneurship support institutions and regulatory policy” that was held as part of the discussion “Strategy for SME development “2020”.

“There is much work to be done. It is great that we have such discussions, because the regulation created without businesses can not be effective. However, a strategy should be a strategy: in other words, it shouldn’t be limited to the general admission of problems but contain real decisions based on an existing policy,” Oleksiy Honcharuk said.
