A Glance - The MSME Sector March 2012 (589KB) Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have a very important role in developing the Philippine economy.

They serve as valuable partners to large enterprises as suppliers and providers of support services. They serve as breeding ground for new entrepreneurs and large corporations.
