Contributions of Naira-USD, Naira-Franc and Naira-Yuan exchange rates on inflation and its volatility in Nigeria
View through CrossRef
The alarming increase in consumers goods and services with concurrent devaluations of naira have necessitated the need to examine the effects of NUSX(Nigerian naira/1 US dollar), NFX (Nigerian naira/1 France franc) and NCX (Nigerian naira/1 Chinese yuan) rates on inflation(measured by CPI) and its volatility in Nigeria using data sets spanning from 2008 to 2022. The auxiliary autoregressive AAR(3) order of integration test specify that all the variables are stationary at first difference. Adopting multiple regression model with least square method of estimation and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH(1, 1)) as measure of volatility, the results indicate that NCX (Nigerian naira/1 Chinese yuan), NFX (Nigerian naira/1 France franc) and NUSX(Nigerian naira/1 US dollar) have no influence on both inflation and its volatility in Nigeria. This implies that variation in exchange rates system is not sufficient to explain the sudden increase in the prices of goods and services in Nigeria. Therefore, the government should look beyond exchange rates in finding solution to rising inflation phenomenon in Nigeria’s economic space.
