THE EFFECT OF EXCHANGE FLUCTUATION ON-THE- MANUFACTURING SECTOR-1986-2010

 

 

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the Nigerian manufacturing sector during a twenty-five (25) years period (1986 – 2010). The argument is that fluctuation in exchange rate adversely affects the output of the manufacturing sector. This is because Nigerian manufacturing is highly dependent on import of input and capital goods.

The methodology adopted for this is empirical. The econometric tool of regression was used for the analysis. The population target of this study is the total number of 25 years from (1986 – 2010) (25) annual time series as data relating to other years after 2010 are not available.

The used in this study is the secondary source of data. The data to be utilized in this study we be sourced through library research, publications of the Central Bank of Nigerian () i.e. statistic bulletin, National Bureau of Statistic(NBS), on line information and economic journals.

Based on the findings, the researcher found out that exchange rate has no significant effect on economic growth of Nigeria also that there is no significant effect of fluctuation on exchange rate on the manufacturing sector.

Some recommendations for policy were made based on the findings. Amongst others is the need to strengthen the link between agriculture and manufacturing's sector through local sourcing of raw materials thereby reducing reliance of the sector on import of input to a reasonable level

INTRODUCTION1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Following the fluctuation of the naira in 1986, a policy induced by the structural adjustment program (SAP), the subject of exchange rate fluctuation has become a topical issue in Nigeria.
