ABSTRACT
The main objective of the study is on the macroeconomic effect of inflation on the
growth of Nigerian economy. The study however investigates the economic growth vis-à-vis
inflation, Broad Money Supply and Interest Rate. Ordinary Least Square [OLS] is
used to estimate the three major macroeconomic variables with a view to
justifying their effects on economic growth. The results of the findings
further suggest that there is significant relationship between inflation and economic
growth in Nigeria. The study therefore suggests among others that exchange rate
policy should be designed to bridge the saving investment gap, enhance
government revenue and reduce the fiscal gap through the curtailment of deficit
and guarantee of external balance in the long-run.
