PERUVIAN PROJECTS

The Small and Medium Enterprises Working Group (SMEWG) was formed with the objective of promoting the development of Small and Medium Enterprises, necessary for the region's economic growth given the characteristics of member economies. On the other hand, it is an area where economies can exchange best practice policies and programs for Small and Medium Enterprises Development.

Currently, the General Direction of Industry (DGI in Spanish) of the Ministry of Production is the focal point of this group in Peru. It is in charge of the participation in the SMEWG and coordinating with Peruvian institutions responsible for topics related to SMEs; including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion, Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, and PROMPERU (Agency for Export and Tourism Promotion); projects and proposals submitted to the APEC Secretariat. It is the link between APEC and Peruvian government organizations.
