The advent of Covid-19 in 2020 had a cascading impact on the MSMEs of India, the banking system and the economy. Thanks largely to the quick liquidity infusion support to MSMEs through the banks, guaranteed by the Government of India and a few other measures to mitigate the impact of covid that helped provide a good degree of resilience to MSMEs without adversely affecting the sustenance of the banking system.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Editor's Notes
<number>
<number>
<number>
SMEs do represent the majority of the firms operating in Italy and in the global market.
Yet, they are often overlooked by international standards.
It is thus important to offer them a range of tools to support them in the relations with multinational enterprises in the global supply chain.
Besides this, we find it is important to define suitable instruments to measure, evaluate and report their RBC performances.
Therefore:
we produced a Guidance for SMEs on due diligence in the supply chain;
we are working on two sector-specific guides on the steel and jewelry sectors, based on the first one;
and a similar task will be tackled in the textile sector.
All these guides - elaborated in cooperation with the stakeholders - are coherent with the OECD Guidelines and the international standards and tools.
Moreover, in cooperation with the branded goods producers, a web tool was created to help SMEs find out what they can do in practice to make the Guidelines effective.
Finally, the NCP joined an inter-regional programme involving 15 Italian Regions, to coordinate, among other things, the development of a set of RBC indicators to be used both:
as a guide for businesses and
as a framework for Administrations to favour responsible enterprises in public procurement and incentives.
<number>
As to the communication tools, the NCP felt it essential to strengthen them, to build an ever greater awareness of the Guidelines and reach a wider range of recipients.
The NCP website - in Italian and English - was restyled and re-organised at the end of last year, and now, besides providing news and information on the Guidelines and the NCP, it also includes a toolkit, i.e. a session where information is organised in four paths, fitted for the four different categories: companies, institutions, stakeholders, citizens.
All the above-mentioned tools for SMES are published on the website.
3000 copies of the Italian version of the 2011 Guidelines and 5000 brochures on the NCP and the Guidelines have been printed and are distributed at seminars, meetings and workshops.
Among all different promotional activities it is worth mentionnig the participation of the NCP to the Mediterraneum Exhibition on Shared Social Responsibility, that took place in Naples, last April, where the NCP had a promotional stand and organised one seminar on the Guidelines and the due diligence in the supply chain.

SMEs do represent the majority of the firms operating in Italy and in the global market.
Yet, they are often overlooked by international standards.
It is thus important to offer them a range of tools to support them in the relations with multinational enterprises in the global supply chain.
Besides this, we find it is important to define suitable instruments to measure, evaluate and report their RBC performances.
Therefore:
we produced a Guidance for SMEs on due diligence in the supply chain;
we are working on two sector-specific guides on the steel and jewelry sectors, based on the first one;
and a similar task will be tackled in the textile sector.
All these guides - elaborated in cooperation with the stakeholders - are coherent with the OECD Guidelines and the international standards and tools.
Moreover, in cooperation with the branded goods producers, a web tool was created to help SMEs find out what they can do in practice to make the Guidelines effective.
Finally, the NCP joined an inter-regional programme involving 15 Italian Regions, to coordinate, among other things, the development of a set of RBC indicators to be used both:
as a guide for businesses and
as a framework for Administrations to favour responsible enterprises in public procurement and incentives.
