Arab Development Symposium Second : Invigorating SMEs in the Arab World
In March 2010, the Arab fund for
economic and social development and the World Bank (Middle
East and North Africa region) agreed to hold joint
high-level development seminars around issues pertaining to
the Arab World. These will be held on a regular basis, every
18 months or so, at the Arab fund premises in Kuwait. This
note analyzes micro, small, and medium-scale enterprises
(MSMEs) in the Arab World. A regional approach to promoting
SMEs will have the added benefit of enhancing regional
integration among MENA countries - a region which is one of
the least integrated in the world. Finally, micro
enterprises have an important development role as they
stimulate economic inclusion, particularly among women and
youth. The main recommendations are divided into two areas:
policies and institutions.
