According to data provided by the government, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are facing increased economic hardship. The prolonged impact of COVID-19 and instability in global supply chains are causing severe financial issues for many businesses.
In particular, the decrease in exports and the rise in raw material prices have increased production costs for SMEs, forcing them to struggle for survival. Some companies have had to lay off employees or reduce operating hours in order to stay afloat.
The government is implementing various support policies to tackle this situation. For instance, emergency financial aid and tax benefits are being provided, alongside programs aimed at promoting innovation within businesses.
Additionally, the government is supporting technology development and research to strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs. This is intended to help companies compete effectively in the global market.
