Country highlights
Austria
- SMEs in Austria represent 99.7% of all businesses and account for 60.8% of the economic added value and 67.9% of employment in the non-financial private sector. 30% of Austrian SMEs are active in high-tech manufacturing and knowledge intensive service sectors which are considered key for the future competitiveness of the country.
- Austria is one of the few EU Member States where the SME sector has, so far, weathered the crisis without any lasting downturn. All key SME indicators have returned to and even surpassed pre-crisis levels (2008). Of these, the economic added value has shown the most impressive development, with an average annual growth rate of 4% since 2009.
- For 2012, forecasts point towards a growth of 0.2% in the number of SMEs, 3.8% in gross value added and of 0.3% in employment.
- Austria’s SBA performance is particularly strong in three areas, namely Think Small First, Skills & innovation and Access to finance.
- In 2011, Austria took policy action in a majority of SBA areas, focusing in particular on public procurement reform and enhancing R&D competencies in SMEs.
Belgium
- SMEs in Belgium represent 99.8% of all businesses and account for 61.6% of the economic added value and 67.7% of employment in the private non-financial sector. 29% of SMEs are active in the high-tech manufacturing and knowledge intensive service sectors which are considered key for the future competitiveness of the country.
- The Belgian SME sector does not differ substantially from the EU-wide one, except for a slight prevalence of micro enterprises in the total number of SMEs.
- SMEs in Belgium have coped with the crisis better than in the EU as a whole, in particular in terms of value added with an average annual growth rate of more than 3% since 2009.
- Policy efforts seem well targeted, since many are focused on the SBA area with the lowest scores (Entrepreneurship) or a negative trend (Internationalisation and Access to finance).
Bulgaria
- SMEs in Bulgaria represent 99.8% of all businesses and account for 61.9% of the economic added value and 75.7% of employment in the private non-financial sector. 16% of SMEs are active in the high-tech manufacturing and knowledge intensive service sectors which are considered key for the future competitiveness of the country.
- Bulgarian SMEs tend to be larger across all size classes than their EU peers. The sector they are most likely to be active in is trade, rather than services, as in the EU as a whole.
- The Bulgarian SME sector has stabilised after the crisis with noticeably more businesses, jobs and value added than the EU as a whole, compared with the base year 2005
- While the government has not yet adopted a national strategy to implement the Small Business Act, significant measures have been taken, especially in the areas of ‘Responsive administration’, ‘Single market’ and ‘Think small first’. Yet Bulgaria still lags behind in five SBA areas (‘Second chance’, ‘Environment’, ‘Internationalisation’, ‘Entrepreneurship’ and ‘Skills and innovation’).
Cyprus
- SMEs in Cyprus represent 99.8% of all businesses and account for 76.0% of the economic added value and 81.4% of employment in the private non-financial sector. 14% of SMEs are active in the high-tech manufacturing and knowledge intensive service sectors which are considered key for the future competitiveness of the country.
- Although forecasts show a positive trend in economic value added, the number of SMEs and their employment figures are still below pre-crisis 2008 values.
- Cyprus is in line with the EU average in most SBA areas, with the exception of “Environment” and “Responsive administration”, where it is still lagging behind.
