A project won by the Economy Ministry, funded with over 820,000 euros in European money, will lead to a 10% increase in the number of small and medium-sized enterprises, SME employees and in the value of exports, according to Andreea Paul Vass, adviser to premier Emil Boc.
"The strategy's measures "are aimed at boosting the number of SMEs by 10%, the number of employees in the system by 10%, investments by 15% and exports by 10%. Productivity will also rise 5% and contribution to the added value will increase by 5%," Paul Vass said yesterday at the seminar "Mediafax Talks about SMEs" organised by Mediafax. As for the goal of the strategy that targets the expansion of SME presence on foreign markets, she says it is favoured by the difficult situation in Egypt and Tunisia, with big international corporations seeking new distributors in the clothing, footwear, pharmaceutical, wiring, and auto components markets. The Economy Ministry last year launched the government strategy for developing the SME sector between 2009 and 2013, put together by the KPMG and Finas Consulting consortium. The draft was challenged by representatives of the business world, who asked for it to be revised.
