Findings of an extensive survey on small- and medium enterprises (SMEs) in 25 townships across the country will be published next month, according to the executive of Myanmar commerce chamber.

The survey covers investing, operating and financing conditions of more than 3,000 SMEs with a projection for future, said Aung Khin Myint, executive member of the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI).

“In coming month, we will publish a report on the survey of SMEs. Review of the information obtained both at the time of taking survey and at later time will be compiled and presented. Detailed report will be published together with (the OECD and the UN ESCAP),” he said.

The survey was conducted by the joint project team of the UMFCCI, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN ESCAP). Industrial townships of Yangon city and some of upper Myanmar townships were in the scope of survey.
