SME Policy Index: Latin America and the Caribbean 2024
Towards an Inclusive, Resilient, and Sustainable Recovery
This report assesses and monitors progress in the design and implementation of SME
policies in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region. It was developed as
part of the OECD LAC Regional Programme, in co-operation with CAF-Development Bank
of Latin America and the Caribbean and the Latin American and Caribbean Economic System
(SELA). The 2024 report tracks progress made since 2019 across eight policy dimensions
and presents the latest key findings on SME development and related policies. It identifies
emerging challenges impacting SMEs in the region and provides recommendations for
governments to build a successful SME sector. The 2024 edition, the second in the
series, benefits from an updated methodology that analyses SME digital transformation
support policies, introduces a green economy pilot dimension, and incorporates a cross-cutting
gender approach. This edition extends the coverage by introducing two new countries
(Brazil and Paraguay) to the already seven participating countries (Argentina, Chile,
Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay), guaranteeing the inclusion of all members
of the Pacific Alliance and Mercosur.
