Gabriela Kulebanova, President of the Center for Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) at the Economic Chamber of North Macedonia, was a guest on the TV 24 program “Argument Plus,” where she spoke on the topic “Strategy for MSME Development 2025–2030.”

Kulebanova emphasized that the new strategy, financed by the European Union, aims to position North Macedonia as a competitive, digitalized, and sustainable economy in which micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises are key drivers of innovation, employment, and regional development.

Unlike previous strategies, this one is the result of thorough and inclusive work—developed in cooperation with relevant ministries, chambers, agencies, and international experts. The working group began its efforts last year, the action plan has already been prepared, and the final phase of consultations with all stakeholders is currently underway.

According to Kulebanova, a key feature of this process is the inclusion of the views and feedback of all participants, and the strategy provides for continuous monitoring and evaluation of its implementation.

In her remarks, she presented the three main pillars of the strategy:

·        A competitive national entrepreneurial ecosystem;

·        Access to finance;

·        Green and digital transformation.
