The SME Compass Index is a pioneering composite index designed to evaluate SME competitiveness. At its core are 9 pillars, each a weighted average of thematically linked indicators, cumulatively encompassing a set of 75 indicators. These indicators are derived from financial reports of over 20,000 businesses, a dedicated SME compass survey encompassing 1,500 firms, and additional datasets from surveys conducted by the Statistical Office. By design, the Index offers a comprehensive, representative snapshot of SME competitiveness, dissecting nuances across varied dimensions: business size, geographic location, and sector of activity.
