PRESENTATIONS

Presentation: Small Business Sector - Real Economy Bulletin 2010-2022Q4 - Lesego Moshikaro, TIPS 

Presentation: Small business in industrial policy - Dr Neva Makgetla, TIPS

Background 
 
The Development Dialogue provides a chance to explore the latest evidence on the role of small business in the South African economy, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and loadshedding. TIPS will present information from its new Small Business edition of the Real Economy Bulletin. The publication provides baseline data on the number of small businesses and their contribution to the economy, as well as their distribution by industry and location, ownership by race, gender and age, investment, and profitability. It will also include insights from its new working paper on the role of small business in inclusive industrialisation. TIPS Dialogues bring together academics, policymakers, civil society organisations, workers and practitioners to discuss important issues and share ideas on industrial policy. TIPS is partnering with the Department of Trade Industry and Competition (the dtic).

If you wish to join, please contact TIPS via email to: buhle@tips.org.za
