Description

ABSTRACT
This study assessed CBN’S monetary policies and its effect on remittances and foreign direct investment in Nigeria. It specifically examine the effect of CBN monetary policies on Remittances in Nigeria; investigate the effect of CBN monetary policies on Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeria; and examine the composite effect of CBN monetary policies on Remittances and Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeria.
However, Ordinary Least Square was adopted to estimate the coefficient using an observation of sixteen years. Secondary data was used for the estimation and was source from Central Bank Statistical Bulletin of 2016 volume which spanned between 2001 to 2016.
Results indicates foreign direct investment has positive effect, though not statistically significant on exchange rate (0.0096) but negative effect on inflation (-0.1353). The effect of inflation and gross domestic product on foreign direct investment, brought under scrutiny showed that inflation rate did not have major effect on the inflow of foreign direct investment into the Nigerian economy. However, gross domestic product had great effect on the inflow of foreign direct investment into the Nigerian economy within the period under review.
In conclusion, only DR found to be significant and negative direction on Remittance inflow while rest are insignificant to FDI. This showed that monetary policies have significant effect on remittance and foreign direct investment. Among other recommendation is that the nation’s monetary authorities should develop and implement measures that will ensure that both inflation and foreign exchange rates are sustained at levels that will ensure increasing level of inflow of FDI.
