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.
