Game Changer

Abstract Given the current constraints of the Malaysian economy to grow beyond the middle-income trap, the women owned small and medium enterprises are envisioned to be the game changers, to lead the Malaysian economy out of the middle-income trap. While the microenterprises owned by women are expected to bring in more inclusiveness and gender-parity in the economy, the small ventures can feed in the big business to act as an enabler of growth, and the medium enterprises have the potential to emerge as driver of growth themselves. The authors posit that classical constraints faced by women-owned SMEs, mostly rooted in resource crunch may be partially overcome by using the digitalized platform and e-commerce infrastructure of the country. However, state-level evidence suggests that majority of women-owned SMEs (WOSME) belong to micro and small sectors, with limited ability of job creation. Also, the presence of medium firms is highly skewed towards traditional low-technology sectors, in spite of educational and technical exposure. The success of these WOSME is actually dependent on the nature of the big business and the state-level economic and social characteristics, rather than the utilization of digital platforms by SMEs. This supports the evidence that success of WOSME is still heavily dependent on the large business enterprises, representing the classical structure. Absence of any effective policy to encourage women SME entrepreneurs in Malaysia constricts WOSMEs from playing the role of game-changer in the digitalized economy, in spite of their extremely high potential. Policies in the country appeared to be ethnicity-conscious, rather than gender-centric.

Measures to slow down the spread of Covid-19 have had profound effects on the food and nutrition security of poor and marginalised households and communities. This article provides an overview of the effects of Covid-19 on food systems across low- and middle-income countries using resilience and political economy lenses, before proposing approaches to build back resilient and equitable food systems. First, future interventions need to target structural issues that limit people’s agency in accessing nutritious and diverse food and production capital. Second, local innovation systems and institutions require investment to create a market environment that benefits domestic (small and medium) enterprises and agri‑food supply chain workers without jeopardising the environment. Third, interventions need to be informed by a diverse set of opinions that include the voices of the most marginalised.

Small and medium enterprise (SME) sector is the main motivation for economic growth in developing countries. However, SMEs encounter different challenges in their activities. One of the biggest obstacles facing SMEs is the constraint on their accessibility to external finance due to the lack of collateral. Financial liberalization, through their impact on credit market structure, may affect SMEs’ dependence on collateral in accessing external finance. The main purpose of this research is to examine the influence of financial liberalization on collateral requirements of SMEs in South-East Asian lower and middle income countries including Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines. To be specific, the author uses Probit and Tobit regression with Enterprise Surveys Data of World Bank in 2009 and 2015 to evaluate the effect of financial liberalization on the incidence of collateral loans and the level of collateral requirements. In addition to financial liberalization - our main explanatory variable, we control other factors which may affect SMEs’ collateral requirements such as country and firm characteristics. The main result shows that financial liberalization increases the likelihood of collateral requirements.
