Industry Min launches project to enhance potential of Thai SMEs



BANGKOK, 30 May 2016 (NNT) – The Ministry of Industry has initiated a project entitled “SMEs Spring Up”, hoping to increase the potential of Thai businesses.

Atchaka Sibunruang, the minister for industry, chaired the opening of the “SMEs Spring Up” project which aims to improve the abilities of small and medium sized businesses in Thailand. More than 100 businesses have been recruited to join the project.

Under the “SMEs Spring Up” project, the government will educate participating entrepreneurs on quality control, quality enhancement, innovation, research and development, and leadership.

The government is doing the teaching? Is this some kind of cruel joke?

Note to SME owners. Do not enroll. They will drag you down and sap your strength.

Despite millions of baht, tax relief and equity injection for SMEs by the Prayut regime, the SME Competitiveness Index for the first quarter this year edged down to 48.4 from 50 during the same period last year. When an economy collapses, SMEs are the first victims.
