Аннотация

The Russian SME Observatory Report-2001 is the first Russian counterpart to the now well-established EU Observatory for SMEs It provides a detailed, comprehensive overview of the SME sector in Russia. The Russian SME Observatory aims:
1. To enable access to recent data and information for all SME-related stakeholders, essential for assessment of the major indicators of the SME sector;
2. To offer a format for widespread debate of issues relating to the SME sector.
The analysis brings together recent, previously unpublished data from state statistical sources, tax authorities, and statistics obtained from specially commissioned surveys, to offer a comprehensive overview of issues and trends. The Russian SME sector is described in the context of the overall legislative, budget situation and major goals of Russia’s economic policy.
The “Observatory”, for the first time in recent years, is able to report on convincing data indicating positive dynamic changes in the SME sector in Russia. The number of small enterprises, individual entrepreneurs and farmers, as of early 2001, was 5.6 million, with the number of individual entrepreneurs increasing annually by up to 250-300 thousand.
The Observatory highlights the point that Russian small business is a dynamic, developing and growing sector of Russia’s economy, which constitutes not less than 90% of the total number of enterprises. The report analyses real ways to assist the SME sector in its growth.
The Russian SME Observatory was developed by the Russian SME Resource Centre under the EU Tacis project SMERUS9803, and follows the concept and format of the EU Observatory for SMEs, as published for a decade. The target audience includes: SME support organizations at federal and regional levels, organizations developing market infrastructure, foreign and international donors, research scientists and scholars, and the general business community.
