2024 Global MSMEs Report
We are thrilled to present the 7th edition of the Global MSMEs Report by the International Council for Small Business (ICSB). This year, we highlight the transformative potential of the human-centered approach of MSMEs and their crucial role in solving global challenges, from poverty and inequality to climate change and sustainable development. We also express our deep appreciation to the Republic of Argentina for their pivotal role in supporting the creation of Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises Day and for their continued collaboration with ICSB.
