Thank you.

You also mentioned that about 11% of the small businesses are focusing on exporting, and you threw a number out of about one million small businesses, the SMEs that we have. We know that companies that focus on exports grow faster. They pay higher and contribute to the GDP.

To what do you attribute the success of those 11%? I understand you talked about the cumulative impact of regulation on all of those, but what do you attribute to the success, and how do the regulations within ISED help or hinder?
