Abstract

The study aims to measure performance of the Ukrainian SMEs using value-added and other appropriate indicators. Using the indicators of value-added, labour productivity and profitability, and two-stage model of analysis, the author found out the small business was a locomotive of productivity growth and value-added in the Ukrainian SMEs' sector during 2010-2019. However, the level of profitability was much better at the medium-sized enterprises, which provided a positive financial result of SMEs' sector for except of the most critical years of 2014-2015. It was figured out that SMEs in professional, scientific and technical activities, processing industry, and construction have the highest ability to create value-added. It is in these industries that SMEs in the Odessa region work most efficiently, create jobs and pay decent wages.
