Small and Medium Enterprise development in nepal

Throughout Asia today, there is a new focus on the role played by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the broader process of economic development. Once considered a relatively unimportant aspect of the economy, SMEs are increasingly viewed by government policy makers and international donors alike as a critical sector for generating economic growth. Given this increasingly important role, a proper understanding of the SME sector, its value and its needs, has likewise gained urgency for planning policy and program approaches. This book makes as valuable contribution to the body of literature on SME issues by exploring in depth the potential for small and medium enterprises in Nepal. Moreover , the book's examination of possible constraints that may discourage the natural dynamism of small business in Nepal almost certainly holds important lessons for other developing countries, as well.
