Abstract

The study empirically investigated the influence of monetary policy on economic growth in Nigeria
from 1982-2023. To facilitate the study an econometric model was specified wherein economic growth
was proxy with gross domestic product (dependent variable), while monetary policy variables such
money supply, cash reserve ratio, monetary policy rate, financial deepening and inflation were used as
the dependent variables. Data were collected from CBN statistical bulletin and analysed with ordinary
least square regression analysis. The result showed that money supply positively influences economic
growth, whereas financial development negatively and significantly influences economic growth. It was
therefore recommended among others that there is need for government to initiate and push forward
effective and efficient monetary policy measures to adequately stabilise prices, reduce poverty and
inequality by encouraging holistic macroeconomic growth.
