The Relationship between Macroeconomics and Small and Medium Enterprises

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is focused on the importance of understanding the relationship between macroeconomics and SMEs in the context of contemporary economic dynamics. The extraordinary development of the macroeconomic environment caused by the pandemic or current wars led to significant changes in the development of SMEs. Thus, this SI focuses on several important topics to provide insights into sustaianable SME development and unravel the nuances of the macroeconomic–SME relationship through the following methods:

• Examination of how macroeconomic factors impact the performance, growth, and sustainability of SMEs.
• Analysis of the reciprocal influence, considering how SME activities contribute to macroeconomic indicators.
• Exploration of regional and global variations in the relationship between macroeconomics and SMEs.
