Source of tax revenue (2004)
Very small enterprises predominate in the African private sector. They are the vast majority of firms and provide the most substantial share of employment, but they are often hidden in the informal sector. Their small size reflects both the recent emergence of the private sector and the legal and financial constraints that hinder their development. There are also big firms. Their size has allowed them to bypass the constraints and overcome the shock-prone business environment. In between, SMEs have remained very few, constituting the missing middle. In parallel, SMEs’ access to finance remains very limited in Africa, despite protracted efforts and promotion programs to alleviate this constraint. Source: Revenue Statistics (OECD)
