It analyses the risk-return characteristics and dynamic transmission of volatility among SME and related financial markets using quantitative financial-market techniques. The study seeks to understand the interdependence and integration of SME markets, identify patterns of volatility transmission, and assess the implications for investors, policymakers, regulators, and financial risk management. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the behaviour and interconnectedness of SME markets and provide useful insights for investment and policy decisions in emerging economies ER -
