The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) works to incorporate the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) agenda in its trade and investment promotion efforts through its various commercial posts overseas.
“We should not lose the opportunity of joining the bandwagon in pushing for MSMEs development,” DTI says.
DTI underscores the agency’s support in the internationalization of MSMEs, particularly on how to bring MSMEs to be active participant, not just as direct exporters but eventually to be part of the global value chains (GVCs).
DTI emphasizes the importance of inclusive growth, globalizing MSMEs, and addressing barriers to trade and investment, including tariffs and non-tariff barriers to promote the internationalization of MSMEs and integrating them into global value chains (GVCs).
DTI is advancing policy frameworks to promote MSME participation in GVCs and international trade through the APEC MSME Marketplace through facilitating business networking and matching involving MSMEs, enhancing MSME awareness and feedback on trade regulations, and improving mechanism for knowledge sharing on trade facilitation, business support, partnerships, and capacity building activities for MSMEs.
