ABSTRACT
The study examined the effect of monetary policy on commercial banks credit creation in Nigeria using time series data from 2000-2016. The data used for the study was sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. The model used was estimated using Nigeria commercial banks total credit and monetary policy tools such as monetary policy rate, liquidity ratio and cash reserve ratio for the period of 2000 to 2016. For the analysis, ordinary least squares (OLS) multiple regression technique was employed. The study hypothesized that monetary policy rate have a negative and significant effect on commercial banks credit creation. It was also found that cash reserve ratio has a positive and significant effect on commercial banks credit creation. Again, the effect of liquidity ratio on credit creation was negative and insignificant. Hence, it was recommended among other things that prior to making any adjustments in the current monetary rates, the concerned authorities in this case the Central Bank should adequately assess the influence of their monetary tools on current credit supply in the economy.
