Increasing access to economic opportunities entails helping out entrepreneurs,
especially the micro, small, medium enterprises (MSMEs), cooperatives, and
overseas Filipinos (OFs). A conducive environment for Negosyo will be created
through the following:

To improve access to production networks
• Support linkages between MSMEs and large corporations to facilitate
increased participation of the former in global value chains.
• Develop more inclusive business models and social enterprises.
• Establish feasible domestic economic zones for MSMEs.
To improve the stakeholders’ access to finance
• Streamline and simplify loan processes for MSMEs, cooperatives, and OFs.
• Provide financial literacy training for MSMEs, cooperatives, and OFs and
their families.
• Assess MSME-related laws.

To improve the stakeholders’ productivity, efficiency, and resilience
• Increase access to technology.
• Implement MSME Development Plan and assess MSME-related laws.
• Encourage entrepreneurship, especially in households of OFs.
