SME

SME stands for Small and Medium-sized Enterprise, a term for businesses that fall below certain thresholds in employee count, revenue, or assets. They are a significant part of the economy, often operating in specific industries and contributing to employment and innovation.

Why it’s in the news: SMEs are in the news as they are impacted by global labor policies, such as exemptions from military service for artists in South Korea, which affects their workforce and public perception.
