ABSTRACT
The study is an attempt to investigate the effect
of banking sector reforms as well as credit to the manufacturing sector on
manufacturing sector performance in Nigeria. The study estimated a multiple
regression model with manufacturing sector output as the dependent variable and
interest rate exchange rate, average capacity utilization, dummy variable(to
capture reform period) gross domestic product, and inflation are the
independent variables. The study established that there exist a shortrun
positive relationship between banking sector reform and manufacturing sector
output in Nigeria. The impact is also statistically significant. The study
recommends that concerted effort by the monetary authorities to strengthen the
financial institutions will create a ripple effect that will translate to
improved productivity in the manufacturing sector.
