Deposit Money Banks' Loans Vital for SMEs Growth in Nigeria's Economy
The study looked at how banks in Nigeria provide loans to small and medium businesses. They used data from 2008 to 2017 to see how these loans affected the businesses. The results showed that when banks give more money to these businesses, they tend to grow. However, when the banks focus more on their own profits, it can hurt the businesses. The recent economic problems in Nigeria have also made it harder for these businesses to succeed. To help the economy, regulators should make sure banks are giving enough loans to small and medium businesses.
