The document discusses the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Nigeria. It analyzes previous literature on the topic which shows mixed findings on the direction of the relationship. The study aims to contribute new evidence on how financial development impacts economic growth in Nigeria using time series data and econometric modeling. Preliminary results suggest a long-run relationship between financial development indicators like bank credit and economic growth as measured by GDP. However, some variables like lending rates did not have the expected effect. The paper concludes with recommendations for policies to strengthen this relationship and foster growth.

Adopting Customer Centric Approach towards Customer Relationship Management i...ijtsrd
As the Indian economy focuses on future growth models, its railway system has been an integral part of this, undergoing a phased transformation since January 2018. The railways are set to progress towards a modern, efficient, and digitized network with a focus on improving insights, efficiencies, and capabilities. By 2030, the Indian government plans to spend US 70 billion to upgrade its railway network into an electric and digitized platform. It is also opening the state owned conglomerate to private companies for operating passenger trains, manufacturing coaches and locomotives, and redeveloping railway stations. While funds have been allocated to revamp various railways projects, the Indian Railways continues to face three big challenges under investment for the creation of infrastructure, people management, and the need for technology upgrade.

Abstract
The study examines the effect of corporate information on equity investors' decision making in listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The population comprises all the listed non-financial firms in Nigeria and a filtering sampling technique was used to arrive at forty-eight (48) sampled firms covering the periods of 2012 to 2019. The hypotheses were tested using the Robust Fixed effect (RE) regression model after conducting some diagnostics tests like Pearson correlation, Variance Inflator Factor, Heteroscedasticity and Hausman Specification. The results show that firm growth (FG) and firm size (FS) have a significant positive effect on market price of shares (MPS) of quoted non-financial firms in Nigeria for the period under review. The study recommends among others, that the management of non-financial firms in Nigeria should put the growth level of their firms into consideration by ensuring a consistent increase in the value of their revenues yearly to attract more investments from the equity investors in the capital market. Their five-year growth rate should also be provided to all the stakeholders in their financial statements. Also, the non-financial firms should consolidate their firms to form a large capital base that would make them take advantage of large scale production to attract more equity investors to their firms in Nigeria.

Review on Smart Dairy ERP System Based on Android ApplicationYogeshIJTSRD
Dairy is one of the biggest agribusinesses in India and a significant contributor to Indian economy. It operates round the year to deliver milk and other dairy products to every human being. It is one the industries that still relies heavily on regional supplies, mostly from the rural areas. In regards to the dairy industry, Indian markets with the greatest growth potential are also among the least developed in infrastructure and consumer awareness. Though large scale dairies like Gokul have automated and latest technology at their disposal, the small scale and mid scale dairies are still intimidated by the use of technology mostly because of the cost and complexity of the IT systems. Hence, making the process much more labouring, inefficient and error prone. Dairy production faces multiple challenges, most of these challenges are related to the supply chain, at the level of dairy farms and milk collection. One of the most common and alarming challenges is deception of farmers by the upper management in the dairies. The dairy farmers suffer from financial loss as they are often deceived by collection center owners into paying higher commissions and the dairy administrators are unaware of it. So in order to earn a profit, dairy farmers turn to options like adulteration of milk which declines the milk quality. This can be avoided by having an integrated system. An ERP system will ensure that the farmers will get paid fair prices, the collection center owners get their commission accordingly and the dairy administrator can manage all this with ease. This will make the dairy industry more reliable and profitable. Miss. Shailja S. Panhalkar | Miss. Vanashri S. Shinde | Miss. Rucha D.

This study titled integrated personnel payroll and information system and employees’ satisfaction is carried out to examine the impact of integrated personnel payroll and information system on employees’ satisfaction. The research adopts research survey design and respondents were reached using a structured questionnaire. The population of the study is 1100 who are employees of the Federal Polytechnic Idah, Kogi state. The study adopts Godden sample size statistical formula which generated a sample size of 285. However, out of the total of 285 questionnaires distributed only 242 were duly completed and returned giving a retrieval rate of 85%. The data were analyzed using a five point’s likert scale and the analytical tool is linear regression analysis. The finding revealed that adoption of integrated personnel payroll and information system has serve as a veritable tool in enshrining accountability but has threatened employees’ satisfaction owing to its non-domestication to carter for the peculiarity of the Polytechnic sector. Thus, the study recommends that adoption of the payroll system be reviewed and all critical stakeholders be consulted so as to enhanced and sustained employees satisfaction.

Review on Smart Dairy ERP System Based on Android ApplicationYogeshIJTSRD
Dairy is one of the biggest agribusinesses in India and a significant contributor to Indian economy. It operates round the year to deliver milk and other dairy products to every human being. It is one the industries that still relies heavily on regional supplies, mostly from the rural areas. In regards to the dairy industry, Indian markets with the greatest growth potential are also among the least developed in infrastructure and consumer awareness. Though large scale dairies like Gokul have automated and latest technology at their disposal, the small scale and mid scale dairies are still intimidated by the use of technology mostly because of the cost and complexity of the IT systems. Hence, making the process much more labouring, inefficient and error prone. Dairy production faces multiple challenges, most of these challenges are related to the supply chain, at the level of dairy farms and milk collection. One of the most common and alarming challenges is deception of farmers by the upper management in the dairies. The dairy farmers suffer from financial loss as they are often deceived by collection center owners into paying higher commissions and the dairy administrators are unaware of it. So in order to earn a profit, dairy farmers turn to options like adulteration of milk which declines the milk quality. This can be avoided by having an integrated system. An ERP system will ensure that the farmers will get paid fair prices, the collection center owners get their commission accordingly and the dairy administrator can manage all this with ease. This will make the dairy industry more reliable and profitable. Miss. Shailja S. Panhalkar | Miss. Vanashri S. Shinde | Miss. Rucha D.

Effect of Abnormal Cash Flow Quality on Big 4 and Non Big 4 Audited Firms in ...YogeshIJTSRD
This study compare financial reporting quality of Big 4 audited and non Big 4 audited firms in Nigeria. Specifically, compares the abnormal operating cash flow quality, and abnormal production expenditure quality, and unexpected core earnings of Big 4 and non Big 4 audited firms. The study adopts the ex post facto research design as the goal is not manipulate any variable but rather establish comparative difference. The population comprised of quoted manufacturing firms and the sample restricted to a purposive sample of 62 firms from 6 sectors listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange NSE . The study utilized secondary data retrieved from annual financial statements of the sampled firms. The data were analyzed using several techniques such as multiple regression, and correlation. The results showed a statistically significant difference in abnormal operating cash flow quality of Big 4 and non Big 4 audited firms a statistically significant difference in abnormal production expenditure quality of Big 4 and non Big 4 audited firms. Based on this, the study recommends that shareholders during Annual General Meeting AGM may also seek the adoption of joint auditors to strengthen audit quality and cushion against shocks from manipulative practices of managers or the lack of independence from continued engagement of particular audit firms.

An econometric analysis of savings and investment in Namibia: is savings real...Polytechnic of Namibia
Pumping resources in financial sector reform will help increase the level of savings by widening the range of available savings instruments and in¬creasing the expected return through higher real interest rates and reduced risks, as deeper markets make financial assets more liquid.
DEFINITION of 'Leverage'
1. The use of various financial instruments or borrowed capital, such as margin, to increase the potential return of an investment.
2. The amount of debt used to finance a firm's assets. A firm with significantly more debt than equity is considered to be highly leveraged.
Leverage is most commonly used in real estate transactions through the use of mortgages to purchase a home.

Financial Development and Economic Growth Nexus in Nigeriaiosrjce
The study assessed the impact of financial development on economic growth in Nigeria using time
series data from 1970 to 2012. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag bounds testing approach to cointegration
was utilized for this study. The result from the ARDL model indicate that the variables for this study are
cointegrated while the error correction term appeared significant and confirms that short-run disequilibria are
corrected up to about 50 percent annually. The empirical results reveals that financial development exerts
positive and significant impact on economic growth in the long-run while trade liberalization variables exert
negative impact on economic growth in the long-run indicating non-competitive nature of non-oil domestic
products in the international market. In the short-run, domestic credit is insignificant which indicates a dearth
of investible funds in the economy. There is evidence that financial development policies influence economic
growth in the long-run and not in the short-run. This study among others recommends the urgent need to
implement policies that will strengthen the deposit mobilization and intermediation efforts in the banking system
in other to deepen the financial system. Nigerian trade performance should be improved through economic
diversification and further availability of funds to private sector at competitive interest rate in order to produce
internationally competitive products.
Economic Development Implications of the International Financial Institutions...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : Employment generation has remained central to the policy goal of economic development in
Nigeria. In view of this, an empirical investigation into the link between international financial institutions loans
and employment rate was carried out in this study. Specifically, the effects of loans from the International
Finance Corporation (IFC), International Development Association (IDA), Paris Club and African Development
Bank on employment rate were examined. The data for the variables were obtained from the United Nations
Development Programme Human Development Report, National Bureau of Statistics, World Development
Indicators and International Debt Statistics. The empirical investigation followed an ex post facto research
design with the application of descriptive statistics, unit root and cointegration tests as well as error correction
model and Granger causality tests as the data analysis techniques. The unit root test results revealed that all the
variables are stationary at first difference, which justifies the test for cointegration using the Johansen method. It
was found from the cointegration test results that long run relationship exists among the variables in the model.
The parsimonious ECM revealed that IDA and African Development Bank loans have a significant positive
effect on employment rate. This highlights the substantial role played these funding sources in generating
employment in Nigeria. On the contrary, International Finance Corporation and Paris Club do not have any
significant effect on employment rate. Owing to the findings, it is recommended that loans available to Nigeria
from the international development association should be channeled to investments in critical infrastructure and
agriculture development to generate employment and achieve economic development.

Role of Development Finance Institutions in Developing the Nigerian Agricultu...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study investigates the role of development finance institutions (DFIs) in agricultural
sector development in Nigeria. African Development Bank (AfDB), World Bank and International Development
Association (IDA) were the underlying DFIs while agriculture value added formed the basis for measuring
agricultural sector development. Data on the variables were sourced from World Development Indicators (WDI)
and analyzed using error correction mechanism (ECM). The unit root test results indicate that all the variables
are not stationary. However, they become stationary after first differencing and as such they all integrated of
order one. The cointegration test results revealed that the variables have long run relationship. The result
showed that the first and second lag of agriculture value added impacted negatively on its current. One-period
lag of AfDB loan has significant positive relationship with current value of agriculture value added. The result
showed that agriculture value added increased by 0.079 percent due to 1 percent increase in lag of AfDB loan. It
was also found that the lagged values of World Bank and IDA loans exert significant negative impact on
agriculture value added. The Parsimonious ECM revealedthat the model has an adjustment speed of 59.2
percent. Based on the findings, it is recommended that policymakers should prioritize the allocation of AfDB
loans into productive sectors of the economy with particular emphasis on agriculture with a view to driving the
development process in the real sector.

Effect of Monetary Policy on Economic Growth in Nigeriaijtsrd
"The chequered history of the Nigeria monetary policy has created a visible asymmetry in the two known monetary regimes before and after SAP in the country. Years after the Structural Adjustment Programme SAP , the Nigeria economy grew to become the strongest economy in Africa and suddenly plunging into recession, a situation that have adversely affected the growth and development of the economy by ways of rising unemployment rate, soaring poverty and swollen external debt, thus suggesting that the failure of the monetary policy in curbing price instability has caused growth instability as Nigeria's record of growth and development has become very poor. This study therefore examines the effect of monetary policy on economic growth in Nigeria using secondary data covering the period of 1980 2017 that were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. The model's estimates were estimated via multiple econometric model of the ordinary least square to ascertain the effect of money supply, credit in the economy, interest rate on credit, infrastructure, inflationary rate, external debts, price index on growth in Nigeria. The results show that money supply, interest rate on credit, infrastructure and external debt were statistically significant in explaining its impacts on economic growth while other variables used in the study were all found to be statistically insignificant in explaining the growth rate of the Nigerian economy. The study recommends among others that for effective operation of the monetary policy measures in the Nigerian economy, the Central Bank of Nigeria should be granted full autonomy on its monetary policy functions. Partial autonomy should be replaced with full autonomy for the central banks in the developing economies at large which is invariably subjected to government interference and its politics.

Macroeconomic Variables and Financial Sector Output in Nigeriaijtsrd
The study investigated the effect of selected macroeconomic variables on the financial sector of Nigeria from 1986 to 2018. The study employed monetary target variables, namely money supply, interest rate, inflation rate, exchange rate and credit to private sector as proxies for macroeconomic variables while the outputs from financial sector on as dependent variable. The data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, were tested subjected to Augmented Dickey Fuller ADF test of stationarity, descriptive statistics, and Autoregressive Distributive Lag ARDL . The results revealed that macroeconomic variables has 99 significant short run effect but no significant long run effects on financial sector output in Nigeria. Specific findings revealed that money Supply M2 and Exchange Rate EXR have significant positive relationships with growth of the financial sector at current and third lags, respectively but inflation rate has a significant negative effect on financial sector output in the current period, while Interest rate INT and Credit to Private Sector had no significant effect on financial sector output within the short run periods in Nigeria. It thus recommended that the government employ inflation stabilisation policies and encourage export, and close borders to import on financial services into Nigeria.

This study examined the impact of Bank credits to agricultural and manufacturing sectors on economic growth in Nigeria using annual time series data from 1970-2013. Using co-integration and error correction mechanism for the analysis, the study revealed that a long run relationship exists between Bank credits to agricultural and manufacturing sectors and economic growth. Given the error correction mechanism results, the study showed that Bank credits to agricultural sector exhibited an insignificant negative impact on economic growth while Bank credits to manufacturing sector exhibited a negative significant impact on economic growth in Nigeria. Based on these findings, the study recommends among others: Bank Credits to the Agricultural and Manufacturing Sectors should be properly monitored to ensure that funds meant for agricultural and manufacturing activities are not diverted for other purposes, Intending recipients of these Bank credits to the agricultural and manufacturing sectors should be made to undergo entrepreneurial training and how to pay back as at when due, so as to reduce the risks associated in giving out these Credits to the Agricultural and Manufacturing Sectors entrepreneurs.
This study seeks to evaluate the impact of public borrowing on economic growth in Nigeria using time series data from 1980 to 2018. Specifically, the study seeks to analyze the effect of domestic debt (proxy by Federal Government Bonds-FGB) and external debt (proxy by International Monetary Fund Loan-IMFL) on Nigerian’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). To achieve this objective, secondary data was collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical bulleting and the Debt Management Office of Nigeria. A multiple regression model involving the dependent variable (GDP) and the independent variables (FGB and IMFL) was formulated and subjected to econometric analysis. These variables were adjusted with the Jarque-bera test of normality while the correlation result was used to check the possibility of multi-collinearity among the variables. The t-test was used to answer the research questions and test the formulated hypotheses at the 5percent statistical level. Results from the analysis show that a positive relationship exists between IMF Loan and Nigeria’s gross domestic product, while a negative relationship exists between FG Bonds and Nigeria’s gross domestic product, which violates the Keynesian theory of public debt. The study concludes that both domestic and external debt significantly affect economic growth in Nigeria. Therefore, it was recommended that public borrowing should be efficiently used and contracted solely for economic reasons and not for social or political reasons as this will help to avoid accumulation of debt stock over time.
Measuring the Dynamics of Financial Deepening and Economic Growth in Nigeria,...iosrjce
The study examined the relationship between financial deepening and economic growth for the
period 1981 to 2013 using empirical evidence from Nigeria. The Engel-Granger two-step cointegration
procedures and Error Correction Model (ECM) were used as the method of estimation. The analyses of
residuals of the OLS regression showed evidence in favour of cointegration between financial deepening and
economic growth. Similarly, estimates from the error correction model provide evidence to show that financial
deepening indicators and GDP series converge to a long-run equilibrium at a reasonably fast rate. The result
points to the fact that the deepening of the financial system can engineer the Nigerian economy to greater
growth.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.
Tele-gram.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.

Abstract
The study empirically evaluates the impact of financial development on economics growth in Nigeria. The paper
employed annual times series data spanning through a period of 43 years (1970 to 2012). The finding of our
study suggests that the theoretical modelling requirements for all the variables used in the regression satisfy the
statistical requirements which determine the choice of our model. The result of the co-integration estimates in the
study revealed that the selected independent variable used in this study explains long-run relationship between
financial development and economic growth between the period under consideration. The result from the
estimated long–run Parsimonious Error Correction Model (ECM) shows that all the variables used in the study
were statistically significant. The study also reveals that lending rate did not conform to our theoretical
expectation but impacts significantly on gross domestic product. Commercial bank credit to private sector has
the expected a priori expectation sign and also positively affected financial development and economic growth in
our study. Contrary to our expectation, MGDP negatively influenced financial development and economic
growth in Nigeria. The study also indicates that commercial bank credit to non-financial private firm did not
conforms to a priori expectation but significantly influenced or stimulated financial development and economic
growth in the Nigerian economy. The ratio of commercial bank deposit to gross domestic product (RDEP)
appeared with the right sign and also impacts significantly on financial development and economic growth in
Nigeria. The evidence from our study shows that the entire model is stable within the period of study. We
therefore recommend that monetary authorities should endeavour to make policies that will impact positively on
the overall growth of the economy. The significant impact of lending rate on GDP does not no mean that
government embark on policies measures that would improve lending rate but focus policies that would lead to
employment generating, increase in income as well as conducive atmosphere for businesses to operate. Given the
strong positive evidence of bank credit to private sector, government should make policies as well as provide a
conducive business environment that would ensure banks provide more credit to private sector (loans) for
businesses, who will invest such funds for productive purposes that will yield the desired or required return and
this will lead to an improvement in the GDP growth.

Introduction
A key characteristic of sub-Saharan Africa countries is that the stock of bank credit to the private sector
(particularly non-financial public enterprises have remained low; when compared to the situation in other
developing countries. This reflects low financial intermediation as measured by the ratio of broad money (M2) to
GDP, the level of commercial bank credit to the private sector, and the presence of key institutional/legal
infrastructure that reduces the cost of financial transactions and reduces the financial cost of commercial banks
and other financial institutions. In analyzing the ratio of bank credit to the private sector, a key determinant to
consider is often the government deficit, and the amount of financing that the government is seeking from the
banking system. Government deficits that have to be financed by domestic resources provide an opportunity for
the banking system to push funds into a relatively safer investment outlet than credit to the private sector. This
has the capacity to raise lending rates, and decrease the amount of resources channelled to private sector credit.
M2 to GDP ratio may not tell the entire story of how financial development can contribute to economic growth
via the supply of credit to private firms. Hence bank credit to non-financial private sector enterprises is
sometimes regarded as a better measure of how financial deepening impacts on economic growth.
Several studies on the relationship between financial development and economic growth have focused
on the issue of causality, that is; whether financial development granger causes economic growth or vice versa.
The focus on causality tests per se, as theoretically elegant as it may appear, seems irrelevant as it is obvious in
principle that financial development and economic growth are symbiotically linked. Development of the
financial sector is an inseparable aspect of economic growth in the modern economy, the level and speed of
economic growth defines the scope and limits for financial development. So development studies on how
financial development can impact on economic growth should persevere to go beyond the mere test for causality,
as testing for causality alone may serve little policy relevance. Economists are yet to reach any consensus on
whether financial development causes economic growth or financial development is a consequence of economic
growth. The financial development - economic growth debate is ongoing, and policy makers and development

economists in Nigeria continue to consider which one should come first. Few studies in Nigeria attempt to
identify which aspects of financial development is more growth promoting, and which aspects of financial
development deserve more attention. This paper intends to contribute to the consideration of how financial
development can stimulate and support economic growth Nigeria. The remaining part of this paper reviews the
relevant literature, methodology, analyzes and discussion of findings and lastly conclusion and
recommendations.
Literature Review and theoretical framework
Financial development and economic growth in Nigeria
There is sizeable theoretical and empirical literature on the link between finance development and
economic growth. From the perspective of conventional neoclassical economic theory, economic growth models
accept that the rate of the growth of an economy is determined by the accumulation of physical and human
capital and the efficiency of resources use. These theories see finance as the major determinant of investment and
therefore of economic growth (Cheney and Bruno, 1962). Recent studies have also shown that liberalization of
financial markets can lead to greater investment efficiency and mobilization of financial resources to finance
investment. Empirical evidence supports the view that there is a strong relationship between financial deepening
and economic performance. It is obvious that scarcity of long term finance is the major impediment to higher
investment levels and output growth in poor countries like Nigeria. By implication therefore, stimulating
sustained economic growth requires additional financial inflow and the optimal utilization of financial assets.
While it is broadly accepted that financial development contributes to economic development, there are strong
arguments that economic growth and an economy’s absorptive capacity can directly influence the robustness and
speed of financial development. Development of key infrastructures for transportation, communication, and
security are essential for financial development. Accordingly, conventional economic theories support the case
for bi-causality between financial development and economic growth.
A major concern of governments in Sub-Saharan African countries is that their banking systems are not
providing enough support to new economic initiatives and the expansion of small- and medium-scale enterprises
(SMEs) and agriculture. It is argued that faster economic growth will not be possible without a deepening of the
financial system and, in particular, more support from the banking system. It is noted that banks remain highly
liquid in many countries in the subcontinent but are very reluctant to expand credit other than to credit worthiest
borrowers (Sacerdoti, 2005). Consequently, while microfinance institutions (MFIs) have expanded vigorously in
a number of countries, the size of their credit remains limited, and the cost of their funds have remained high (as
high as 60 percent per annum in Nigeria). In Nigeria, experts are divided on whether financial capital is the most
critical constraint to economic growth. The high ratio of money supply to GDP suggests that financial capital is
not the problem, but the low ratio of banking system’s credit to the private sector to GDP suggests otherwise.
Existing empirical evidence however suggests that various factors affect the availability of investable fund in
Nigeria, including: funds mobilization/aggregate savings, high banks’ lending rates, inflationary expectations,
institutional factors {the risk premium, banks cost of funds}, appropriate sectoral policies, paucity of external
capital, public sector deposits, regulator and monetary policies, the level of economic activities, and the structure
and efficiency of the financial system. A major source of concern however is that growth rates registered in most
African countries, including Nigeria, does not march the quantum of export earnings they receive. Nigeria
particularly earned enormous revenue from crude petroleum export during the oil boom years of mid 1970s and
mid 2000s. The huge revenue inflow from oil exports caused public sector spending to increase significantly
without particularly leading to economic growth.
For example, during the oil boom years of the 1970s, gross investment as percentage of GDP, was 16.8
and 31.4 percent in 1974 and 1976 respectively; whereas it declined to 9.5 and 8.9 percent, respectively in 1984
and 1985. The rise in oil prices during the 1990-91 was expected to spark off an investment boom; that was not
the case in Nigeria because much of the accruing windfall in oil revenue was spent on government overheads
and other capacity maintenance sub-heads. There is always this incapacity to channel financial resources into
core growth activities; or utilize lessons from experiences with past failures in the country’s development history.
There is also the tendency to resort to stopgap and unplanned measures whose unintended consequences are not
well assessed and considered. Attempts to implement a variety of reform programmes has not yielded the desired
results due largely to political economic constraints that generally rewards and sustain bad governance and fiscal
rascality. Beginning from the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) 1986-1992 and Guided Deregulation
1994-1998., to the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) 1999-2007, National
Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP) 1999-2013, Youth Enterprise With Innovation in Nigeria (YouWin)
programme, Subsidy Reinvestment Programme (SURE–P) 2011-2013 there are strong tendency towards
abandoning set plans and the resort to stop-gap measures that promotes waste, duplication of functions,
accumulation of debts, and fiscal recklessness.

The Role of finance in economic growth
Economic growth refers to increase in the value of goods and services produced by an economy. It is
conventionally measured as the rate of increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Growth is usually calculated
in real terms (netting out the effect of inflation on the price of goods and services produced). It can be studied in
the short run, and the long run. The short-run variation of economic growth is known as business cycle, and all
economies experience periodic recessions. The long-run path of economic growth is one of the central questions
of economics: over long periods of time, even seemingly small rates of growth, through compounding, can have
large effects. Growth in output can be divided into two major categories: growth through increased input and that
through improvements in productivity. Given that labour and capital inputs cannot be increased indefinitely
without encountering diminishing marginal returns, technological progress is needed to increase the standard of
living in the long run. King and Levine (1993) analyzed Schumpeter (1983) theory on the importance of
financial development for economic growth. Their results show that better financial development can positively
impact on economic growth. More recent studies test the hypothesis using more sophisticated econometric
techniques. Levin and Zervos (1996) showed that there is a positive and significant relation between stock
market growth and growth in gross domestic product. Levine (1996) argues however that the preponderance of
theoretical reasoning and empirical evidence suggests a positive, first-order relationship between financial
development and economic growth, which has prompted many to suggest that the level of financial development
is a good predictor of future rates of economic growth, capital accumulation, and technological change. The
work equally reviews cross-country, case study, industry-level, and firm-level evidences of how financial
development (or the lack thereof) crucially affects the speed and pattern of economic development.
Levine (1996) further explains how the financial system is affected by economic growth; well-
developed financial systems reduce information and transaction costs, influence savings rates, investment
decisions, technological innovation, and long- run growth rates. Without minimizing the role of institutions, the
work advocates a functional approach to understanding the role of financial systems in economic growth. This
approach focuses on the ties between growth and the quality of the functions provided by the financial system.
This discourages a narrow focus on one financial instrument, such as money, or a particular institution, such as
banks. Instead, Levine (1996) addresses the more comprehensive, and difficult question, namely; what is the
relationship between financial structure and the functioning of the financial system? Colderon and Liu (2003)
identifies three levels in the relationship between financial development and economic growth: first broadens the
base for economic growth at the early stages of development; second is a mutual Granger causality between
economic growth and financial development; and third, financial development leads again as the society
becomes technologically advanced. Hondroyiannis and Lolos (2005) show a mutual Granger causality between
financial development and economic growth in Greece. While Nieuwerburgh et al. (2006) show that increase in
the market stocks led to economical growth in Belgium. Güryay, safakli and Tüzel (2007) empirically examine
the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Northern Cyprus using a model earlier
used by Odedokun (1996) for Nigeria. Using the method of ordinary least squares (OLS), the study found that
the impact of financial development on economic growth is minimal in Northern Cyprus. Granger causality tests
showed that financial development does not cause economic growth, but economic growth causes development.
The results showed that there is a negligible positive effect of financial development on economic growth in
Northern Cyprus. Although Granger causality test showed that financial development does not cause economic
growth, on the other hand there is evidence of causality from economic growth to the development of financial
intermediaries. The key indicators of financial development used by Güryay, safakli and Tüzel (2007) include is
ratio of deposits to GDP (DEP), and the ratio of loans to GDP (LOA) were considered most appropriate because
data on them are widely available. The model adopted by Güryay, safakli and Tüzel (2007) was actually a
modified version of Odedokun (1996) that was re-specified by Rati Ram (1999). The ratio of deposits to GDP
(DEP) and the ratio of loan to GDP (LOA) were adopted as the financial development variables in Güryay,
safakli and Tüzel (2007) because they were directly indicative of financial development. The study found that
economic growth caused financial development over the period under study.
Since the seminal work of Patrick (1966), which first postulated a bi-directional relationship between
financial development and economic growth, a large empirical literature has emerged testing this hypothesis
(Levine, 1997 for survey). Two trends in this literature are identified; the first is testing the relationship between
economic growth and financial development using either cross section or panel data techniques (Jung, 1986;
Rubini and Sala-i-Martin, 1992; Demetriades and Hussein, 1996; and Luintel and Khan, 1999). The second is to
examine the hypothesis for a particular country using time series techniques (as for example, Murinde and Eng,
(1994) for Singapore, Lyons and Murinde (1994) for Ghana, Odedokun (1989) for Nigeria, Agung and Ford
(1998) for Indonesia and Wood (1993) for Barbados. This work contributes to the second strand of the literature
by using the modified growth model of Odedokun (1996) (for Nigeria); Güryay, safakli and Tüzel (2007) (for
the case of North Cyprus); and Abu-Bader and Abu-Qarn (2005) (for Iran). The literature survey above puts x-

72
rays three views concerning the potential importance of finance in economic growth. While the first one of these
considers finance as a critical element of growth (Schumpeter, 1911; Goldsmith, 1969; McKinnon, 1973; Shaw,
1973; Odedokun, 1996; King and Levine (1993a, 1993b), finance is regarded as a relatively unimportant factor
in growth according to second view (Robinson, 1952; Lucas, 1988; Stern, 1989). The third view concentrates on
the potential negative impact of finance on growth (Van Wijnbergen, 1983; Buffie, 1984). Parallel to these
views, empirical studies of the effects of financial development on economic growth has produced mixed
evidences showing no clear direction for convergence (Xu, 2000).
Financial development and absorptive capacity
Developing the domestic financial markets is necessary for expanding the absorptive capacity of low-
income countries. A stronger financial system will mop up funds from the informal sectors and ensure that idle
funds are put to optimal use in the formal financial system. Bourguignon and Sundberg (2006) emphasize the
link between weak absorptive capacity and the flow of external finance to less developed countries. The ability
of low-income countries to productively absorb large amounts of external assistance is a central issue for efforts
to scale-up aid. Low-income countries are unable to absorb large amounts of aid due to structural and
institutional incapacities that are linked to slow development of the financial system. There is broad agreement
that countries with ‘good policies and institutions’ can absorb larger amounts of aid than otherwise.
This view is corroborated by Shahnoushi, et al (2008) in a study on causality between financial
development and economic growth in Iran (using time series data for period 1961-2004). Shahnoushi, et al
(2008) argue that financial development should be treated as the most important dimension of economic
development, as it leads to not just financial investment, but also investment in social and economical
substructure and investment in human resource, as it enables increases in the skills and expert level of the work
force. This agrees with the views of early economists like Schumpeter (1983), Goldsmith (1969), Mackinnon
(1973), and Shaw (1973).
Theoretical framework
The literature on financial development provides some theoretical explanation on the relationship
between financial development and economic growth. The general view is that financial development can
improve long run growth. This section discusses selected theories that link financial development to economic
growth.
Demand-Following and Supply-Leading theory: This theory places emphasis on the demand and supply
side of financial development. For demand-following theory, it can also be called “growth-led finance”
hypothesis. It states that the growth of the economy generates additional and new demand for financial services,
“which bring about a supply response in the growth of the financial system” (Patrick 1966). This theory suggests
a demand – following relationship between financial and economic developments. High economic growth
creates the demand for modern financial institutions; their services, their assets and liabilities and arrangements,
by investors and savers in the real economy. The financial market in turn responds to such demands. In this case,
the evolutionary development of the financial system is a continuing consequence of the pervasive, sweeping
process of economic development. The level of demand for financial services depends upon growth of real
output, and commercialization and monetization of agriculture and other traditional substance sectors. (Patrick,
1996, Meier, 1984). An accelerated growth rate of real national income stimulates greater demand for external
funds by enterprises and this will bring about increase in the level of financial intermediation, as firms find it
increasingly difficult to pursue expansion policy from internally generated funds. Moreover, the greater the
variance in the growth rates among different sector of the economy, the greater will the responsibility of the
financial system to perform the role of financial intermediation by allocating savings to fast growing industries
away from slow growing industries and firms. In this way, the system can thus support and sustain the leading
sectors in the process of growth.
The demand following financial hypothesis assumes that there is high elasticity in the supply of
entrepreneurship in the financial services “relative to growing opportunities for profits from provision of
financial services”, in such a way that there is sufficient expansion in the number and diversity of types of
financial institutions. It is also assumed that there is in existence favourable legal, institutional and economic
environment. Supply leading theory can be described as the finance-lead hypothesis. It postulates that the
existence of “financial institutions and the supply of their financial assets, liabilities and related financial
services in advance of demand for them. This would provide efficient allocation of resources from surplus units
to deficit units, thereby leading the other economic sectors in their growth process” (Patrick, 1996). The supply –
leading phenomenon performs two functions: first it transfers resources from traditional (non-growth) sectors to
modern sectors; and second, it promotes and stimulates an entrepreneurial response in the modern sectors. The
supply – leading financial intermediation can be likened to the term “innovation financing” (Schumpeter, 1912).
One of the most significant effect of supply – leading approach is that, as entrepreneurs have new access to the
5. European Journal of Business and Management www.iiste.org

73
supply – leading funds, their expectations increase and new horizons as to possible alternatives are opened,
thereby making the entrepreneur to “think big”. A number of studies have argued in favour of finance – led
growth approach (see Cameron, 1963, Levine, 1997). It should however be emphasized that rationale for the
supply – leading approach to the development of a country’s financial system and hence overall economic
development, lies in its potential benefits to the economy in stimulating real economic development. Otherwise,
if the use of resources (especially entrepreneurial talents and managerial skills) in supply – leading finance
generate more cost than benefits to the economy, then the objective of the approach is far from being achieved,
and the entire supply – leading financial theory results to an exercise in futility. It can also be argued that while
the supply – leading finance is not a necessity for launching an country to the path of “self sustained economic
development”, it presents an opportunity to induce real growth by financial means. Its use, analysts believe, is
more result oriented at the early level of a country’s development than later. According to Gerschenkron (1962)
“the more backward the economy relative to others in the same time period, the greater the emphasis on supply -
leading finance”.
On the other hand, the Financial Liberalization hypothesis as developed by Mckinnon and Shaw (1973)
sees the role of government intervention in the financial markets as a major constraint to savings mobilization,
investment, and growth. Government’s role in controlling interest rates and directing credit to priority sectors of
the economy in developing countries inhibits savings mobilization and impedes the holding of financial assets,
capital formation, and economic growth. Indirectly, ceiling on deposit interest rates discourages financial
savings, which leads to excess liquidity outside the banking system. According to Mckinnon and Shaw (1973),
pervasive government intervention and involvement in the financial system through the regulatory and
supervisory network, particularly in controlling interest rates and the allocation of credit, tends to distort
financial markets. Government intervention, thus adversely affect savings and investment decision of market
participants and lead to fragmentation of financial mediation. The ultimate result is a financial repressed
economy. The central idea of Mckinnon and Shaw (1973) is that financial markets should be liberalized and
allocation of credit determinant by the free market. In this case, the real interest rate will adjust to its equilibrium
levels and low yielding projects will be eliminated. This will lead to increase in overall efficiency of investment,
savings and total real supply of credit would increase. This in turn induces a higher volume of investment which
will then lead to economic growth.
The main critique of the financial liberalization theory emanates from the imperfect information
paradigm. This school of thought disagrees with the proposition of these scholars and examines the problem of
financial development in the context of information asymmetry and costly information that results in credit
rationing. As observed by Stiglitz and Weiss (1981), asymmetric information leads to two serious problems,
first, adverse selection and second, moral hazard. The implication is that the information asymmetries of higher
interest rates which actually follow financial reforms and financial liberalization policies in particular exacerbate
risk taking throughout the economy and hence threatens the stability of the financial system, which can easily
lead to financial crises while the Feed back theory suggests a two–way causality between economic growth and
financial development. The analysis is as follows: a country with well – developed financial markets could
stimulate and promote high economic growth through technology changes, and product and services innovation
(Schumpeter, 1912); this in turn will create high demand in financial arrangements and services (Levine, 1997,
Chong et al, 2005). As the financial institutions effectively respond to this demand, higher economic
performance is ensured. In this regard, both financial development and economic growth are positively
interdependent and their relationship could lead to feed back causality (Khan, 1999). In summary, none of the
works so far reviewed considered the possibility that the financial markets may not consider it appropriate to
lend to the private sector even when there are funds, and the ratio of credit issued to non-financial private firms
to total domestic credit (BCR) is not taken seriously. However, the studies of Shahnoushi, et al. (2008), Abu-
Bader and Abu-Qarn (2005) and Güryay et al (2007) are key to this paper as their models were augmented to

The single equation technique of Ordinary Least Square (OLS) was used to estimate the model. Error
correction and cointegration techniques were used to normalize the data set. As with other studies reviewed, the
Augmented Dickey-Fuller test was employed to determine causality tests between economic growth and
financial development.
As mentioned the preceding section, this paper is based on the theoretical underpinning of Shahnoushi,
et al. (2008), Abu-Bader and Abu-Qarn (2005) and Güryay et al (2007). Empirical model used in those studies is
the linear OLS model that regresses four measures of financial development (independent variables) against an
index of Real GDP (dependent variable). For Shahnoushi, et al. (2008) economic growth is the dependent
variable and is measured as the annual data of real GDP as indicator for economic growth. But real GDP does

not necessarily measure growth; therefore nominal GDP (GDP at basic market prices) was used as dependent
variable in this work. Also the independent variables are key indicators of financial development, these are the
ratio of money supply (M2) to GDP), different definitions of monetary aggregate, bank deposit to GDP ratio,
credit of private banks to private sector, (real interest rate (deflated by inflation). Basically, credit of banks to the
private sector was considered as the most important indicator of financial development. This did not account for
credit issued to non-financial private firms and ratio of commercial bank deposit to GDP. Therefore, it has been
included as an argument in this model. Given the above, the model is specified below as follows:
GDP = f(MGDP, RDEP, BCRP, CNFPF, INTR) ………………....... ..… (1)
Where: GDP = Natural logarithm of the GDP or Economic Growth; MGDP = the ratio of money supply to GDP;
RDEP = the ratio of bank deposit to GDP; BCRP = Natural logarithm of granted credit of banks to private
sector; CNFPF = the ratio of credit issued to non financial private firms to total domestic credit; INTR = the real
interest rate
Equation (1) can be rewritten in Econometric semi-log linear form thus:
LogGDP = β0 + β1MGDP + β2RDEP + β3logBCRP + β4log CNFPF - β5LR + µ ……. (2)
β1 > 0, β2 > 0, β3 > 0, β4 > 0, β5 < 0
Positive correlations exist among all the variables used in the study; some with high correlation and others
with low correlation as shown in Table 1. For example there is a high positive correlation between LGDP and
LCNFPF (95 percent). While the correlation between LGDP and MGDP is very low (10 percent)

The unit root results which indicate the order of integration of each of the variables is presented in Table 2. The
test revealed that the variables: LRGDP, LBCRP, LCNFPF and LR are all stationary at first difference; the
variables are integrated of order I (1). While MGDP and RDEP are stationary at levels, which means integrated
of order I (0). This implies that the null hypothesis of non-stationarity for all the variables is rejected.

Given the unit root properties of the variables, we proceed to establish whether or not there is a long run
cointegrating relationship among the variables in the equation by using the Johansen full information maximum
likelihood method. The Johansen cointegration test revealed that the trace and maximal Eigen statistics show the
existence of three and two cointegrating relationship between LGDP and it determinants at the 5 percent level of
significance as shown in Table 3.

The conclusion drawn from this result is that there exists a unit long-run relationship between LGDP, LBCR,
LR, LCNFPF, MGDP and RDEP. Since there is one cointegrating vector, an econometric interpretation of the
long-run growth (GDP) can be obtained by normalizing the estimates of unrestricted cointegrating vector on the
GDP. The PT–matrix of the beta coefficient from the Johnansen cointegrating analysis and the preferred
cointegrating (CI) equation are presented in table 4.4. Using Max-Eigen statistics, only one cointegrating
relations was chosen among the two, base on statistical significance and conformity of the coefficients with
economic theory. As shown by the chosen CI equation, which normalizes the coefficient of log of GDP, all the
explanatory variables are significant in influencing changes in GDP. The most significant of the determinants of
GDP are expected MGDP and RDEP.

Having ascertained the stationarity levels of the variables that they are cointegrated, the stage is set to
formulate an error correction model. The intuition behind the error correction model is the need to recover the
long-run information lost by differencing the variables. The error correction model rectifies this problem by
introducing an error term. The error correction term is derived from the long- run equation base on the economic
theory, proximity and statistical significance. The error correction term enable us to gauge the speed of
adjustment of GDP to its long-run equilibrium. It gives us the proportion of the disequilibrium errors
accumulated in the previous period which are corrected in the current period. This results show that the speed of
adjustment of GDP to the long-run equilibrium path is very high specifically, about 327 % of the disequilibrium
errors, which occurs in the previous year, are corrected in the current year. It also shows a high growth rate of
GDP (600%) thereby suggesting the existence of a strong GDP inertia as shown in Table 6

Preceding the dynamic analysis, the result from the estimated static model shows that MGDP, LR, RDEP,
LBCRP, &CNFPF, are the long-run determinants of growth in Nigeria. From the result in table 4.5, the over–
parameterized model was further estimated using the general to specific approach and the summary of the
parsimonious model was presented in table 4.6 (see appendix 3 for detail). We achieved the parsimonious model
by eliminating the jointly insignificantly variables. An examination of the parsimonious results shows that the
error correction term is well specified as it has the expected a priori sign and statistically significant.

Findings of model
The adjusted R2
of the estimated model shows that about 89% of the variation in GDP is explained by
the combined effects of all the determinants while the F-statistics value of 43.5 shows that the overall regression
is significant at both the 1% and 5% level. Also, the equation’s standard error of 0.228 signifies that in about
two-thirds of the time, the predicted value of GDP would be within 22.8 percent of the actual value. In table 4.6,
the Durbin-Watson value is 1.8, which shows that it falls in between the inconclusive zone. Therefore we can not

say whether serial correlation exists or not. Also, the first lagged value of GDP greatly influenced the changes in
current GDP growth over time with a strong inertia of 600 percent.
Lending rate (LR) does not conform to our theoretical expectation by bearing a positive sign. This not
withstanding, they are both significant at 5% level. Therefore, a rise in lending rate leads to the availability of
loan-able fund which provides funds for businesses (both private and public). There is need therefore to improve
LR in order to create employment as well as make loan-able fund available to intending borrowers to stimulate
the required level of investment and economic growth. In other words, Lending rate (LR) exerts very significant
positive influence on the level of GDP. That is, if lending rate increases by one percent, gross domestic product
(GDP) will increase by 4.5 percent. Current expectation about future levels of bank credit to private sector
(BCRP) significantly influenced the growth of GDP in Nigeria. Specifically given the coefficient of 0.513 would
lead to an increase in GDP by 513 percent if BCRP increases by one percent. Therefore, government policies
aimed at channeling funds to the productive sectors of the economy through the private sector should be
encouraged and pursued vigorously.
The coefficient of the variable credit to non-financial private firm (CNFPF) is significantly different
from zero but negative. This apparent strong negative impact of the CNFPF variable, in spite of concerted
government effort or commitments to improve the private sector, as it is the growth engine of her economy, may
be attributed to high level of corruption, policy inconsistency, unstable government policies in the past, prior to
1999 couple with bureaucratic bottleneck ensured that these credit did not get to the real investor hence this
scenario. The variable of financial deepening (MGDP) was found to be negative and significant at 5%. This
means that if financial deepening increases by 1%, the Nigerian economy will recess by 9976% which means its
effects on the economy is enormous. RDEP that is ratio of bank deposit to GDP significantly impacted on GDP
in Nigeria within the period of study and it was positive. The increase in bank deposit can be attributed to the
consolidation and merger of banks in 2005 that boosted customer confidence in the banking industries. This
increased bank deposits, means that banks will have at their possession enough money to lend to businesses and
this will lead to an increase in GDP of the country.
Our next assignment is to establish the direction of causality between GDP and the selected variables
used in our study. This is because the existence of long–run relationship does not indicate causality and the
existence of causality between GDP and the independent variables will help to verify the Model
Granger causality test
The result of the granger causality is shown below:
LR LGDP; MGDP LGDP; LBCRP LGDP;
LCNFPF LGDP; LBCRP MGDP; RDEP MGDP;
LBCRP RDEP
The Granger causality a result reveals that there is a unidirectional relationship running from lending rate to
gross domestic product, financial deepening to LGDP. Also, a uni-directional relationship running from bank
credit to private sector to LGDP, MGDP and RDEP. While a bi-directional relationship exists between LCNFPF
and LGDP as well as between RDEP and MGDP.
Stability analysis
Here we examine the stability properties of the short – and long–run dynamic model. As shown in the
graph of the recursive residual (figure 1), in some periods, particularly 1986 as well as between 2005 and 2008,
the residual either went outside the plus or minus two ( ± 2 ) standard error bounds or became close to the
bounds. This period corresponds to the period of massive deregulation and liberalization of the financial system
in terms of interest rate and entry. This shows that the variables (economic agents or indicators) greatly affect the
growth of GDP in Nigeria. Other stability test such as Jarque-Bera normality and actual, fitted and residual
graphs in figure 2 and 3 lend credence to the stability of the parameters in the GDP model. The result of the
various test suggest that the model is fairly well specified and robust for policy analysis. The graph of the
dynamic forecast for the estimated period 1970 to 2008 is presented in figure 4. The forecast values could be
closely related to the actual values.

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations
We summarize the findings of our study, made some conclusive statements and recommendations here.
The recommendations made in this paper, if given due consideration will help government, researchers and
scholars in policy formulation, implementation as well as for further research. The major findings of this paper
were as follows:
The stationarity test on the variables in the model confirmed that the variables are at random work and co-
integrated of order I(0) and I(1), as such the variables were used to run the co-integration estimates.
The result of the co-integration estimates in the study showed that the selected independent variable used
in this research explains long-run relationship between financial development and economic growth
between 1970 and 2012.
The study also reveals that lending rate did not conform to our theoretical expectation but impacts
significantly on gross domestic product.
Commercial bank credit to private sector has the expected a priori expectation sign and also positively
affected financial development and economic growth in our study.
Contrary to our expectation, MGDP negatively influenced financial development and economic growth in
Nigeria.
The study also indicates that commercial bank credit to non-financial private firm did not conforms to a
priori expectation but significantly influenced or stimulated financial development and economic growth
in the Nigerian economy.
The ratio of commercial bank deposit to gross domestic product (RDEP) appeared with the right sign and
also impacts significantly on financial development and economic growth in Nigeria.
The evidence from our study shows that the entire model is stable within the period of study.
Conclusion
The paper set out to evaluate the impact of financial development on economic growth in the Nigerian
economy; from 1970 – 2012 the model was estimated by the system of error correction model (ECM) and the
stability test was conducted using the method of recursive regression by putting the recursive residuals about the
zero line. Our findings confirm that all the variables have significant impact on GDP even though LR, CNFPF,
and MGDP did not conform to a priori expectation. It therefore means that government policy patterning to
MGDP, LR, and CNFPF by monetary authorities has not being too favourable. This might be added to
inconsistencies in policies as well as frequent charges in government.
Recommendations
From the foregoing discussion, as it relates to financial development and economic growth in Nigeria,
we make the following recommendations.
a) Financial development as measured by MGDP, RDEP, BCRP, LR and CNFPF exerted both negative and
positive impact on economic growth; therefore, monetary authorities should endeavour to make policies
that will impact positively on the overall growth of the economy.
b) The significant impact of lending rate on GDP does not no mean that government embark on policies
measures that would improve lending rate but focus policies that would lead to employment generating,
increase in income as well as conducive atmosphere for businesses to operate.
c) We found strong positive evidence that bank credit to private sector exerted positively to GDP. This
means loans from bank to private sector went into the hands of businessmen who invested these funds into
the economy thus the positive impact. Therefore, government should make policies as well as provide a
conducive business environment that would ensure banks provide more credit to private sector (loans) for
businesses, who will invest such funds for productive purposes that will yield the desired or required
return and this will lead to an improvement in the GDP growth.
