ABSTRACT
One can hardly find a country without monetary policy. As a matter of fact, monetary policy has gained a solid ground in the Nigerian economy. However, in light of various economic problems in Nigeria, it would seem the benefits of monetary policy are yet to be fully harnessed. The purposed of this study is to analyse the impact of monetary policy with Nigeria being the case study. With regards to the data analysis, regression analysis was applied. The study covers the effectiveness of monetary policy from the period 1985 to 2011. The study revealed that the level of effectiveness of monetary policy is highly influenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
One of the major issues which have occupied the mind of government for
years is the impact of monetary policy as a tool for price stability in
Nigeria. Despite the lack consensus amongst the economy, there is
remarkable strong agreement that monetary policy as an
economy-stabilizing measure in Nigeria refers to the persistence rise in
the general price level.
Monetary policy is one of the macroeconomic policies available for
managing the economy. It is however important today because its effects
on economic aggregates such as price, output, interest rates and
exchange rates. In most countries, the central bank is saddled with the
responsibility of conducting monetary policy. In the case of Nigeria,
the responsibility entirely lies with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The discretionary control of the money stock by the monetary authority
involves the expansion and contraction of money, influencing interest
rate to make money cheaper or more expensive depending on the prevailing economic situation.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The monetary policy implemented in the economy over the past years has
been detrimental and inconsistent with developmental needs of the
economy (Apata J.T, 2007). This concern has exerted pressures on the
monetary authorities in Nigeria to re-examine and re-evaluate their
monetary policies with the view of finding possible solutions. As a
result of this, the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) as introduced
in Nigeria in 1986 in order to correct the structural imbalances in the
economy and to liberalize the financial system.
Despite various actions used by the monetary authorities in
administering monetary policy in Nigeria, there are still limits to the
effectiveness of monetary policy. There has been a wide discrepancy
between target and outcome due to the fact that the central bank has not
been able to achieve the various objectives it set out for itself. For
instance, there has been a problem hitting inflation target. The
inflation target in 2008 was 7% but the performance was about 19%.
Nigeria needs an effective, efficient, sound and consistent monetary
policy that has a positive effect on interest rate, employment and real
output, so as to minimize the economic problems disturbing Nigeria as a
developing country
