  • Monetary policy, institutional quality, and trade balance in Nigeria: moderating effects and contemporary evidence   Order a copy of this article
    by Umunna Godson Nwagu 
    Abstract: This research examines how institutional quality moderates monetary policys effect on Nigerias trade balance from 1990 to 2024, using the ARDL model. A unit root test confirmed that trade balance, monetary policy, exchange rate, institutional quality, corruption perception index and other control variables are all integrated of order one I(1). Co-integration tests indicated significant long-term relationships; specifically, monetary policy positively correlates with trade balance, while GDP growth rate impacts it both positively and negatively. The study finds that institutional quality moderates the effect of monetary policy on trade balance, positively or negatively depending on institutional strength. A serial correlation test indicated no serial correlation among variables. It recommends that the Nigerian Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria align monetary policy with institutional reforms and promote export diversification through capacity building to enhance non-oil exports.
    Keywords: trade balance; monetary policy; money supply; monetary policy rate; exchange rate; institutional quality; GDP growth rate; moderating effect; autoregressive distributed lag; ARDL; Nigeria.
