Abstract

The study investigated the effect of exchange rate movement on economic growth in Nigeria for the period of 32 years (1986-2017). The study specifically examined the effect of exchange rate, import, export and government expenditure on economic growth proxied as real gross domestic product in Nigeria. Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL) Bound test was employed. The study found evidence of longrun relationship between exchange rate movement and economic growth in Nigeria. The study further revealed that exchange rate and government expenditure have significant positive effect on economic growth; import has insignificant negative effect on economic growth; export has insignificant positive effect on economic growth. The study concluded that exchange rate movement has significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria. The study therefore suggested that the government should introduce import reducing policy that will stabilize the import-export balances such that local goods can be well embraced.
