MOSCOW, April 19. /TASS/. The share of small enterprises in the Russian economy should grow to 50%, currently it is less than 20%, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said in a report addressed to the State Duma on Wednesday.

"Small enterprises currently account for a little under 20% of the country’s economy. This figure should be at least 50%, as in other developed economies. This is the main goal, and, of course, it requires new tools," he said.
