• Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Plan 2010-2016
  
  The 2011-2016 Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Development Plan aims to address the key challenges and constraints that continue to prevent the MSME sector from realizing its full potential and boosting the country’s industrial growth. To achieve this, the Plan lays out the overall framework to guide the formulation of action plans towards a more harmonized approach to MSME development. It was developed in close consultation with national, regional, and provincial stakeholders. It will be implemented through a convergence of stakeholder efforts with regular monitoring, validation, and updating by stakeholders under the stewardship of the MSME Development Council.


• The Philippine Export Development Plan (PEDP) 2011-2013
  
  The Philippine Export Development Plan (PEDP) is a rolling three-year blueprint for export development and growth.
  
  For 2011-2013, it identifies Key Export Sectors controlling eighty-seven (87%) of current business to drive export growth. These are: IT-BPO and other services; electronics; agribusiness products (food, coconut and other resource-based products); minerals; shipbuilding; motor vehicle parts; garments and textiles; homestyle products (furniture, furnishings, decors); and wearables (fashion accessories, shoes, bags, jewelry).
  
  These products and services belong to large categories in growing markets. Importantly, they have a reasonable probability of continued success based on current volumes, supply chain attributes, local value-added and total employment.
