ABSTRACT
This research examines the impact of interest rate liberalisation on selected macro-economic indicators in Nigeria. Employing ex-post factor design and using GDP per capita as growth indicator, Total Financial Savings (TFS) as a proxy for savings and Credit to Private Sector as a proxy for investment. The research established a negative relationship between interest rate liberalisation on economic growth, savings and investment which were represented by indices calculated using ordinary Least Square. This research finds that interest rate liberalisation have negative and insignificant effect on economic growth, savings and investment in Nigeria. This supports the numerous past studies which have reported negative results regarding the effects of interest rate liberalisation on economic growth. The research concludes that interest rate liberalisation have negative and insignificant effect on credit to private sector, saving and economic growth in Nigeria.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Interest rate liberalisation can be viewed as a policy response encompassing a package of measures to remove all undesirable state imposed constraints on the free working of the financial market. The measure includes the removal of interest rate ceilings, loosening of deposit and credit control (Killick and Martin 1990). Schmidt Hebbel and Serven (2002) observe that interest rate liberalization grants market forces a dominant role in setting financial assets prices and returns, allocating credit and developing a wider array of financial instruments and intermediaries. Bandiera et-al (2000) notes that the wave of liberalization in many developing countries in the1980 was characterised by more attention given to market forces in allocating credit through market determined interest rate. The financial liberalisation hypothesis holds that allowing the market to determine real interest rates would mobilise savings and increase deposit (Fry1997). Several authors suggest that financial liberalisation spurs GDP growth by fostering productivity growth, not only by raising the funds available for capital accumulation. Theoretical research by Acemoglu and Zilibotti (1997), Soyibo (1992) and Aghion et-al (2005) among others show that financial liberalisation may relieve risky innovators from credit constraints, thereby fostering economic growth through technological change.
