In 2021, the theme is “MSME 2021: key to an inclusive and sustainable recovery.”
The General Assembly declared 27 June Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day, to raise public awareness of their contribution to sustainable development and the global economy.
Did you know?
Formal and informal MSMEs make up over 90% of all firms and account, on average, for 70% of total employment and 50% of GDP.
In emerging markets, most formal jobs are generated by SMEs, which create 7 out of 10 jobs.
Micro-, small and medium sized enterprises are vital in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. They are an important element in the implementation of SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure.)
Look in your community and your city and support a SME today.
