A Christian Aid Report, October 2009
There is absolutely no doubt that the private sector is the driver of the economy. MNCs, SMEs and micro-enterprises have made substantial contributions to development in the past. They have done so directly through jobs and wages, goods and services, and gifts and programmes, and indirectly via economics, policies, taxes and their impact on the environment. With greater state involvement and more appropriate policies, regulations and institutions, the private sector should, can and will make even greater contributions to development in the future.
