The World MSME Day commemorative event continued at Myanmar International Convention Centre I (MICC-I) in Nay Pyi Taw on its second day yesterday with expert discussions focused on strengthening Myanmar’s small and medium-sized enterprises and their role in national economic growth.
Presentations
covered topics including supporting MSMEs for economic development, future
growth strategies, and the role of digital adoption in building Myanmar’s
digital economy by 2030-2031.
At the
closing ceremony in the evening, Union Minister for Industry and MSME
Development Dr Charlie Than said the event reflected Myanmar’s commitment to
achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals and strengthening international
recognition of its policy direction.
He stressed
the importance of digital transformation for modern MSMEs, highlighting a
six-stage pathway: visible, trusted, paid, market-ready, delivered and growing.
The Union
minister also outlined ongoing financial support measures, including
low-interest, collateral-free MSME loans in cooperation with nine local
insurers at a five per cent interest rate. He added that businesses could
access global market information through the ASEAN Access online platform.
He further
noted upcoming opportunities for exporters, including a 8 July training session
on exporting to Germany and a China-ASEAN business matchmaking event scheduled
for 15-16 July.
All
stakeholders must work together under a strong global partnership to drive
national economic growth, the Union minister said, calling for closer
coordination among government bodies, associations and entrepreneurs.
He also held
discussions with regional MSME agency chairpersons on development plans and
support measures for small businesses across the country.
