Asia Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Monitor 2021 Volume IV

The Asia Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Monitor (ASM) is a knowledge-sharing product developed as a key resource for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) development policies in Asia and the Pacific. This second volume examines how Asia's MSMEs survived over a year into the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and discusses post-pandemic policy actions for MSME development. This study is based on the findings from MSME surveys during 2020 and 2021 in Indonesia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Philippines, and Thailand.
