And eased the load on developing countries

SME or small and medium enterprises are the middlemen or the link between the larger companies who need to outsource portions of their business eg manufacturing, ccustomer satisfaction etc. to reduce Overhead costs, and the population who are employed by the SME's to fulfill the needs. If SME were not there or were a very small segment then there would have been an economic imbalance which would result in lesser jobs for the general population and higher costs for the large companies.

SME Small and Medium enterprises are those enterprises which not only contribute to the economy of the country but provide employment. These are small scale industries, be it manufacturing or services sector. These units by and large are input providing units to the large or very large enterprises.
