The private sector has a great role to play in a country’s economy and where the authorities are struggling to meet their ends, they have a vital role to play. Since economic lockdowns have come into existence, overall global economy has suffered a great deal and the recession has been the greatest of all times.
With this kind of scope, the major dependence of an economy rests on the shoulders of the private sector. However, they need too favorable circumstances to feel free about making investments and remain confident about the profit-making model.
For instance, cryptocurrency and blockchain firms rushed to India when Supreme Court of India allowed the public to hold digital assets as a commodity. The platforms like the BTC era allow people to do online trading and they are a good example of a private sector firm that can make localized investments.
The factors that remain crucial to private sector growth are government regulations, tax incentives, favorable marketplaces, buying power, and enough population that can serve as potential customers. With 195.9 million population, Nigeria can serve as a hotspot for private sector investments. It leads to several advantages for the country’s economy:
Exponential employment opportunities
Only increasing the number of available jobs can help to deliver positive compound effects on the lives of people. Corporations and companies look for opportunities where they can get minimum labor costs due to currency and per capita differences. One single production or sales set up by a big company can lead to hundreds of well-paid jobs. All these people can then support better living standards for their families.
Increase tax income
Although incentives during the start can decrease this tax revenue but it is always beneficial in the long run. While companies do sales around, they will always show up with tax-deductible income assisting governments around the world to run on their own. With such a level of job creation and opportunities to enhance tax revenue, boosting private sector growth is quite remarkably important.
Technology up-gradation
Whenever an MNC comes to launch its operations, they always bring innovative technologies to run their operations in a sophisticated and professional manner. While locals get hired with them, they also get equipped with these latest tools and skills. Also, the machinery brought remains top-notch and makes people aware of how things can be done in an efficient and effective way while ensuring high-quality standards.
The benefits to private sector economy remain immense to both the general public and the governments. While Nigeria’s immense young population, it is important that the creation of jobs can match up with the required demands. Per capita income, foreign direct investments, and all those economic indicators then move towards betterment once private sector is on the full force.
This is the prime goal of capitalism that goods and people can move freely without any legal obstacles. It can be done only when think tanks are looking to promote investments rather than going for protectionist policies. Great things await those who are open-minded and ready to accept new things while adapting to new technologies that come their way.
