As explained by the Ministry of Economy, the main objective of the SME-2030 program is to create an accessible, understandable, and protected support system for small and medium-sized businesses. This is expected to contribute to stable economic growth, increased employment, enhanced innovation activity, and the development of export opportunities.
The Ministry plans to increase the share of those employed in the SME sector from the current 40-45% of the working-age population to 60%, as well as ensure a growth in exports of products from small and medium-sized enterprises at a rate of at least 25%.
According to the National Statistics Committee, the volume of exports of goods produced by small and medium-sized businesses amounted to $1.2 billion in 2024.
