Monetary Policy Transmission Mechanism In Nigeria: An Overview

The paper highlights monetary policy transmission mechanism in Nigeria focusing on empirical studies and happenings in the country that retarded the efficiency of the Central Bank of Nigeria over the years in the pursuant of effective transmission mechanism. The empirical reviews from studies show that interest rate, credit channels and exchange rate are among the channels of monetary policy transmission to the economy. It also highlights some of the problems that imposed a serious debility to effective transmission in Nigeria. The authors made some suggestions for improvement, among which includes: the Central Bank must persevere legally, morally and otherwise to make the economy a cashless one. The low patronage of banking services by many Nigerians is a stumbling block in effective control of money supply and has contributed to incessant inflation in the country; any form of disguise or indirect interference by the government has to be put to an end; and the instruments of monetary policy such as interest rate and exchange that are known to be effective in some sectors should be properly managed and monitored.
