CHALLENGES/ISSUES
A good SME policy environment vital for SME development
Minimum ASEAN benchmarks/standards for some of the components will be useful
Challenge will be to develop a roadmap and the milestones to achieve this
SMEWG post-2015 Action Plan - may be a good avenue to operationalise some of
these elements
Cross-sectoral effort – need cooperation of related ASEAN bodies
