The inaugural Mastercard Middle East and Africa (MEA) SME Confidence Index found that half (50%) of the SMEs surveyed are projecting an increase. As many regional economies gradually enter the normalization and growth phase, and social restrictions continue to ease, small and medium sized businesses in Saudi Arabia have identified better data and insights (47%), training and upskilling staff (46%) and access to training and development support (44%) as the top drivers for growth. This highlights the opportunities for small businesses that arise from both internal transformation as well as industry regulations and trends.
