Their framework for the country emphasizes the development of SMEs, microenterprises, and the self-employed. Also on agenda - improving management of state-owned banks, and strengthening their ability to support SMEs and private infrastructure investment. Economic development in the poorer regions is also the focus of a regional SME project, which provides credit lines through private banks to SMEs outside Western Province.
