Bank Negara's SME Info Portal Goes Live


Bank Negara’s new SME portal is finally up and running. Its stated purpose is to provide “information on all aspects of SME development”. Hopefully this will be a regularly updated site that won’t fall into the ‘jarang update’ trap of many other local information sites.

The SME Directory feature was included for ‘networking’ possibilities though I am not sure what Bank Negara hopes to achieve with this feature. So far, it acts like a directory of sorts; so for example if you typed in advertising, it displays the relevant registered companies in that industry. How business owners are supposed to network from this still remains a mystery to me. I guess more functionality will be added at a later date? Are we looking at an alibaba.com style of b2b matchmaking?
