SME Policy Index: Eastern Partner Countries 2020
Assessing the Implementation of the Small Business Act for Europe
The SME Policy Index: Eastern Partner Countries 2020 – Assessing the Implementation
of the Small Business Act for Europe is a unique benchmarking tool to assess and monitor
progress in the design and implementation of SME policies against EU and international
best practice. It is structured around the ten principles of the Small Business Act
for Europe (SBA), which provide a wide range of pro-enterprise measures to guide the
design and implementation of SME policies. This report marks the third edition in
this series, following assessments in 2012 and 2016. It provides a comprehensive overview
of the state of play in the implementation of the ten SBA principles, and monitors
progress made since 2016. It also identifies remaining challenges affecting SMEs in
the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries and provides recommendations to address them
based on EU and international good practice examples. The 2020 edition also features
a novelty: An assessment of three new dimensions going beyond core SME policy (competition,
contract enforcement and business integrity) looking at key structural reform priorities
that are critical to establishing a level playing field for enterprises of all sizes
and ownership types.
