Sustainable growth will require a vibrant SME sector, and this means improving the ease of doing business on the ground and not just the legislative framework.
To develop a vibrant SME sector, deliberate policies must be aimed at reducing red tape and also providing a friendly legislative framework and customer service approach to facilitate the business environment.
One of the very important things is a predictable environment for doing business. So even though many legislative improvements have been made, business people still have to consider that next year the finance minister could go to Parliament and impose a new tax, which is an additional cost to doing business. Or a bureaucrat could destroy their business by targeting them for audits or causing unnecessary costs from bureaucratic processes without any accountability.
A good business environment encourages investment – both foreign and domestic – creating employment and boosting economic growth. It also supports the development of the formal economy and middle class consumers tend to work in the formal economy.
It takes just 6 days to start a business in Mexico, compared to 29 days in India. The Mexican government is doing reforms aimed at improving the business environment, encouraging investment and placing the economy on a sound footing for sustainable growth.
