Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs): Strategic Lines to Increase their Economic Impact in Mozambique This work deals with the mechanisms for promoting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as a factor in the development of the national economy. From the analysis carried out, four factors can be seen that affect the development of SMEs in Mozambique: access to credit, patterns of economic growth, the institutional environment and infrastructure. The problem of access to credit and the institutional environment for business development are the factors that most affect the increase in the weight of SMEs in the gross domestic product and in exports. Therefore, on the one hand, actions aimed at reducing uncertainties about SMEs; actions aimed at reducing the cost of capital, the required requirements and, on the other hand, actions aimed at reducing the volume of taxes levied, actions that provide an environment in which companies can easily register, grow, reinvest their profits. The preparation of this work was based on a bibliographical research combined with several statistical publications of the National Institute of Statistics (INE), the Investment Promotion Center (CPI) and the World Bank.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
