Deputy Prime Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow has stressed the need to speed up help for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) that are still reeling from the impact of Covid-19, as the move can stimulate efforts to restore the pandemic-ravaged economy.
MSMEs are crucial for restoring the economy because 98% of businesses are MSMEs, which account for 40-60% of Apec's GDP, he said.
