EU-27 SMEs during pre-Covid-19 and COVID-19 crisis: SME-related brief insights

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study aimed to evaluate Micro and Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) based on an analysis of the connections between SMEs and performance measured during pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 pandemics. Secondary data was applied from the EU-27 SMEs annual reports to sampling European SMEs for ten consecutive years. The quantitative statistical technique was used to assess various SME practices&apos; impact before and during the COVID 19 outbreak. In 2020, the number of EU-27 SMEs was significantly 10.54 % less than in 2018. SME productivity, measured as value-added, was 3.34 trillion EUR in EU-27, 26.49 % lower as compared to 2018. Moreover, EU-27 SMEs also employed people in 2020, significantly 16.99 % less than in 2018. Overall, the pandemic affected EU-27 SMEs’ numbers and performance. EU-27 SMEs have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with value-added dropping, employment declining in 2019 and 2020. SMEs’ value-added and employment are expected to remain below their respective 2019 levels in 2021.
