According to a survey by the China Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, the innovation ability of small and medium-sized enterprises has generally been enhanced in 2023.
Xie Ji, Secretary-General of China Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises: The most obvious thing we feel is that the innovation ability of small and medium-sized enterprises has been enhanced, and through innovation, many small and medium-sized enterprises have achieved transformation and upgrading and improved performance. Medium-sized enterprises have taken the lead in recovering employment and confidence as they become more innovative.
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the mainland has cultivated a total of 12,000 specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprises, 103,000 specialized, special and new small and medium-sized enterprises, and 215,000 innovative small and medium-sized enterprises.

Xie Ji, Secretary-General of China Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises: Our survey shows that most small and medium-sized enterprises have enjoyed tax reduction and exemption policies, and in addition, policies such as optimizing the business environment for private enterprises and financial support for inclusive small and micro enterprises have achieved obvious results, which have been widely welcomed by enterprises.

Support for small and medium-sized enterprises should continue to be increased this year
A survey by the China Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises also shows that in the process of recovery last year, small and medium-sized enterprises also faced various difficulties such as intensified competition and rising costs. Therefore, this year, we should further implement the support policies for small and medium-sized enterprises and promote the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises.

According to a survey by the China Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, although the overall upward trend was recovered last year, the ability of small and medium-sized enterprises to cope with market shocks is still weak due to their small scale.
Xie Ji, Secretary-General of China Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises: The main problems reflected by enterprises are that the market is recovering slowly, competition is more intense, and the labor costs of most enterprises are rising.
According to the survey, nearly half of the costs of small and medium-sized enterprises increased last year, and more than half of the small and medium-sized enterprises saw a decrease in their operating income.
Xie Ji believes that this year, we should further implement the existing support policies, further reduce the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises, and provide a better business environment for enterprises. At the same time, we should give full play to the role of the market mechanism, broaden the space for private investment, improve the public service system for small and medium-sized enterprises, smooth the communication channels between government and enterprises, solve problems for enterprises, and promote the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Xie Ji, Secretary-General of the China Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises: Although there are many difficulties for small, medium and micro enterprises, the main indicators are gradually showing a recovery trend, and the confidence and other indicators in the index have improved. With the gradual implementation of a series of policies to promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, the high-quality development of small and medium-sized enterprises will be accelerated.
