The issues of MSME development and job creation are key in the present administration?s economic development efforts. This is one way of delivering the dividends of democracy and thereby stemming the tide of restiveness and insecurity in the nation. In realizing this, the Government has been trying to establish structures to ensure that the business environment is conducive for the private sector to thrive and create jobs. Entrepreneurs/MSMEs must be encouraged to drive the process of job creation as they are known, all over the world, as aggregate generators of employment.

Portfolio Diversification Between Developed And Less Developed Economies

This study examines the hedging effectiveness of portfolio investment diversification between developed and developing economies; with focus on the Nigerian stock asset vis--vis the stock assets of the United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK). Its main contribution is in the analysis of optimal portfolio diversification using optimal portfolio weight (OPW) and optimal hedging ratio (OHR). Empirical findings show that the OPW and OHR are low, which indicates impressive potential gains from combining Nigerian stock assets in an investment portfolio with US and UK stock assets. In addition, exchange rate volatility is found to pose stern limitation on the potential benefits of this portfolio diversification arrangement. It is therefore recommended that the monetary authority in Nigeria should pursue policies towards reducing exchange rate volatility to the barest minimum. This will possibly attract more investors from developed economies who might be willing to combine Nigerian stock in their investment portfolio to minimize portfolio risk.
