ABSTRACT

This paper studies the effect of Naira Devaluation on Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Nigeria. The Study is conducted using time series data that covers the period of 34 years (1980-2014) employing the method of ordinary least square (OLS) and co-integration analysis currency devaluation proxies was regressed on output of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) the result shows that exchange rate Interest rate and export has a positive impact on Small and medium enterprises and while exchange rate and interest rate are insignificant in explaining Small and medium Enterprises, Export is significant. The researcher also found three co-integrating variable. Therefore, the researcher came to the conclusion that Naira devaluation is not effective in encouraging the growth of small and medium Enterprises (SMEs), this is because Nigeria does not produce effectively non-oil expert, policy intervention is needed to balance the effect of exchange rate movement until the economy is transformed from oil driven to other sectors like Agriculture, Manufacturing Iron and Steel Industries etc government expenditure should be geared towards creating social overhead to enable these small firms to thrive. Government trade policy should be in favour of local firms.
