Abstract

The study is an attempt to empirically examine the impact of public external debt on exchange rate in Nigeria. The nature of data for this study is secondary data and the major source of data is the Statistical Bulletin published annually by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) December, 2018.The study used Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Error Correction Model (ECM) tools of analysis in the investigation of the impact and relationship among the economic variables. The long and short run results confirmed that public external debt has impact on exchange rate in Nigeria. However, based on the probability value at the short run all independent variables were statistically significant in explaining variation in Exchange Rate in Nigeria except Foreign Reserve in Nigeria (FRN) at 5 percent level of significance. While, at the long run the External Debt in Nigeria (EXDTN), Debt Service Payment in Nigeria (DSPN) and Foreign Reserve in Nigeria (FRN) Foreign Reserve in Nigeria (FRN) was statistically significant in explaining the variation in Exchange Rate in Nigeria (EXCHR) at 5 percent level of significance. Therefore, the study recommends that Government should increase the mechanism to check and control the allocation and implementation of public funds in Nigeria to reduce deficit budget and exchange rate in Nigeria.
