Today, we are going to view the MSME Competitiveness Index which measures how MSMEs leverage markets and compete within those markets Based on the report, it appears that Nigerian MSMEs are not very competitive. They received a competitive index score of 47 out of 100, which is quite low compared to a highly competitive score of 100. The score highlights the significant challenges of limited power supply, insecurity, and poor access to affordable finance, among others. These challenges have a direct impact on the level of competitiveness.

The final pillar on the MSME Competitiveness report is the Ability to Adapt. Nigerian MSMEs show a 39% ability to adapt to market changes through innovation, business support, and financing solutions. This pillar reflects their capacity to respond, secure necessary resources, and manage talent for competitive advantage.

The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act, 2006, plays a pivotal role in supporting the growth and development of MSMEs in India. Recognizing the importance of these enterprises in creating jobs, fostering innovation, and driving economic growth, the Act provides a legal framework to ensure they receive the financial, technical, and structural support they need. The MSMED Act aims to enhance the global competitiveness of MSMEs, making it easier for them to access resources, build sustainable businesses, and compete in both domestic and international markets. It is closely aligned with India’s broader industrial policy and works in conjunction with the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951, to promote balanced industrial development.
