      abstract = {Nigeria's economic landscape has been characterized by fluctuating trade balances, with net imports playing a pivotal role in influencing economic stability. Despite the implementation of various monetary policy instruments, their effectiveness in managing net imports remains unclear. It is against this backdrop that this paper examined the impact of monetary policy instruments on net imports in Nigeria. The main objective was to assess how various monetary policy channels such as; Money Supply (MS), Interest Rate (INTR), Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), and Exchange Rate (EXCH) affect Net Import. The study utilized an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to analyse time series data on monetary policy instruments and net export, employing co-integration and error correction techniques to capture both short-run and long-run relationships. The findings revealed MS had a significant but negative impact on net imports in the short run, in Nigeria, suggesting that an increase in money supply is associated with a decrease in net imports before long term adjustments. A decrease in net imports implied that either imports were falling or exports were rising, leading to an improvement in the trade balance. Conversely, a positive and statistically significant relationship between interest rates and net imports was found, which countered the conventional expectation that higher interest rates suppress demand. This implied that, higher interest rates often attract foreign capital inflows, strengthening the domestic currency. Similarly, CRR had a positive and significant impact on net imports in Nigeria, suggesting that domestic production constrained by higher CRR could make consumers and firms turn to foreign goods to fill the gap, driving up imports in the short run.  Based on these findings, specific recommendations were made to relevant institutions. The government of Nigeria should implement policies that encourage local production of goods that Nigeria heavily imports (machinery, refined petroleum products, food items) through tax incentives, subsidies, and infrastructure support. },
