DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/71/279)\n\n\n\n	The United Nations General Assembl
	y designated 27 June as “Micro-\, Small\, and Medium-sized Enterprises D
	ay” (A/RES/71/279) to raise awareness of the tremendous contributions of
	 micro-\, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to the achievement of
	 the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\n\n\n\n	MSMEs ac
	count for 90% of businesses\, 60 to 70% of employment and 50% of GDP world
	wide. As the backbone of societies everywhere they contribute to local and
	 national economies and to sustaining livelihoods\, in particular among th
	e working poor\, women\, youth\, and groups in vulnerable situations.\n\n\
	n\n	This year\, the International Trade Centre (ITC) marks the 5th anniver
	sary of MSME Day\, and small businesses are more than ever in need of supp
	ort\, as they navigate the impacts of the COVID pandemic\, conflicts and t
	he climate crisis. They are the hardest hit by these multiple shocks\, and
	 at the same time play a critical role in building back stronger.\n\n\n\n	
	MSMEs have to become more resilient to future shocks\, and efforts and sti
	mulus packages must target those most heavily affected by disruptions to g
	lobal supply chains\, rising inflation\, and the continuing ramifications 
	of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n\n\n	Policymakers must move beyond recovery a
	nd consider ways in which to lower and eliminate barriers faced by MSMEs\,
	 improve the business environment and access to finance\, markets and tech
	nology in these fragile times. It is critical that countries and their dev
	elopment partners continue to support and empower MSMEs and unlock their f
	ull potential through inspiring innovation\, creativity and decent work fo
	r all.\n\n
