"Today, Pimec urges political parties to create a law promoting business development to eliminate the obstacles to company growth." This was stated on Wednesday by Pimec President Antoni Cañete and the President of the SME Observatory, Oriol Amat, during the presentation of the study. Business dimension: Diagnosis and proposalsThe study, based on a survey of 348 responses, begins with the observation that larger businesses lead to greater innovation, greater internationalization, higher productivity, and consequently, greater access to financing and resilience. "There are obstacles that act as brakes," warned Cañete, noting that 99.8 percent of businesses are SMEs, and 94 percent of these are micro-enterprises. "We need to legislate with small businesses in mind first, and there are three levels at which we have to work; we're starting here in Catalonia, but next week we'll present it in Madrid because there are decisions that also need to be made at the national level," explained Cañete, while also mentioning his position within the European employers' federation, holding the seat of SEME. "A legislative commitment to growth, investment, fair taxation, and a more agile administration is key," summarized the president of Pimec. "We're talking about a national issue," he asserted.
