However, certain issues still need more thought and research before policy is made. This article deals with four main problems requiring attention: savings–promotion, fraud, appropriate training, and promotion of medium-sized non-microenterprise. Although other disciplines have produced some solutions, these have not been readily adopted by the small industrial sector.
