Overall development objectives may include employment creation, productivity, competitiveness, GDP growth, price stability; and external payments equilibrium; as well as social, sectoral and regional equality including poverty reduction.

It also establishes the basis for a tighter process of decision-making. Very often official statements concerning SME policy consist of a list of generalisations about the role of small business in society without any details as to the priorities and potential in this respect. Specific objectives can be set regarding the SME contribution to poverty. | GO Start a ỈLL- Business START A BUSINESS VI III an easy guide contents ro i2 í I 3 corn START A BUSINESS we re here to help Invest NI has produced Start a Business to encourage and support people like you.
