Abstract

This paper assessed the relationship between financial system development and economic growth in Nigeria. The ARDL results established short and long run relationship between financial system development and economic growth in Nigeria, 1990-2020. Financial development index (FDI) and money supply (MS) had non-significant positive impact on the Nigerian real GDP. The policy implication depicts that development of the financial system remains a veritable instrument for economic growth in emerging economy like Nigeria. Based on results, researchers recommend that the monetary authority should repeal the financial inclusion secretariat with financial system development secretariat to broaden policies on financial inclusion and entrench financial system depth, access and efficiency, policies on cyber security should be pursued vigorously to afloat contemporary issues in global financial system and plausible monetary tools embraced for optimal money supply in the economy.
