The SME Competitiveness Outlook 2020 analyses the impact of the pandemic on small firms, international supply chains and trade. It provides projections and a 15‑point action plan for businesses, policymakers and business support organizations to weather the crisis - and gear up for a 'new normal' that needs to be resilient, digital, inclusive and sustainable.
The report combines analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on firms based on a large‑scale global survey, with case studies and a thought leader viewpoint. The projected drop in supply chain trade is evaluated by region, and in 85 country profiles.
