Agenda : Ensuring the rights and supporting small-range trade business in world trade economic activities and support

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are important contributors to economic development, globally representing an essential portion of businesses...

These include a lack of relevant skills, a lack of knowledge about international markets, non-tariff barriers, and limited access to trade finance.
