ABSTRACT

Assessment Of   The   Impact  Of  Commercial  Banks  ln  Financing  Small  And Medium  Scale  Enterprises  In  Nigeria:   1997-2006 (A  Study  Area  Of Umuahia North Local.  Government Area,) Abia State". The objective of the study were to determine  the  ratio  of  loan  to  the  SMEs from  the  total  loan disbursement  by commercial 'banks    in  Nigeria  between  1991  and  2006   and  to  know  whether adequate loans was extended to the S:MEs during this period based on the central bank of Nigeria (CBN's) bench mark of 25 percent. Also, to determine the possible inhibiting factors in granting credit to be S~s     by commercial banks in Nigeria. The popul~tion of thestudy was one,hundred  and twenty six (126), comprising one hundred and twelve (112) registered  SME with the Abia chamber of commerce (14) commercial banks branches within Umuahia North  Metropolis.   A sample of ninety  six  (96)  was  selected  using  Yaro   Yamanc's   model.  Also  Bowley's proportional model  was   used  in  the  proportional   allocation  of  respondent. Questionnaire method was used in gathering primary data,  while  secondary data were obtained from CBN' s statistical bulletin,  2006,  Vol.17', where data on loan disbursement by commercial banks in Nigeria  was significantly less than the 25percent benchmark by the CBN during the period. Also high  probability of loan default constitutes  a major inhibiting  factor in extending credit to the SMEs in Nigeria by commercial banks.  Based on the researcher's  findings,  we recommend among others that a credit guarantee scheme for the SMEs be introduced  by the government to take care of both secured and unsecured loans  to this sector. This will encourage commercial banks to extend adequate credit to the Siv1Es and at the same time minimize the risk of default by the SMEs .
