Government Expenditure and MSMEs Sustainability in Nigeria: A Post-COVID-19 Analysis
This study examined the impact of
government expenditure on the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium
Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria
after COVID-19. Survey research design was adopted and simple random
sampling technique was employed to select the sample size using a
well-structured questionnaire. A total population of 189 MSMEs operators in
retail sector were sampled. Frequency distribution and simple percentage were employed
to analyse the demographic data while multiple regression analysis was used to
evaluate the impact of government expenditure on the sustainability of MSMEs. The
result reveals that government financial assistance and policies have
significant positive effects on the sustainability of MSMEs, stressing the
importance of targeted government financial support and favourable fiscal
policies for business recovery. This implies that, immediate recovery efforts relies
heavily on financial and operational supports. Thus, government financial
assistance and favourable fiscal policies are critical drivers of MSMEs recovery
after COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria.
