Abstract

This study investigated the effect of monetary policy on deposit money banks lending in Nigeria (2000 – 2020) using secondary data from Statistical bulletin of Central Bank of Nigeria. The research work used the Vector Autoregressive Estimates to test the effect of the independent variables (Monetary Policy Rate, Liquidity Ratio, Cash Reserve Ratio and Loan to Deposit Ratio) on the dependent variable (Total loans and advances). The study found that monetary policy has negative and significant effect on deposit money banks lending in Nigeria within the period of the study. The study therefore advocates that monetary authority should strive to maintain a reasonable interest rate that will tends to reduce cost of borrowing and lending in the economy. There is need to strengthen bank loan and advance and monetary policy through effective and efficient regulation and supervisory framework. Government should through the Central Bank of Nigeria ensure working monetary policy instrument and make a periodic review of the polices in a way that will encourage bank lending. Monetary authority should manage the lending rate properly for it to be attractive and affordable for investors to borrow money from the bank. In conclusion, monetary policy rate, liquidity ratio, cash reserve ratio and loan to deposit ratio should be looked into by monetary authority in a way that is friendly to loan advancement especially relating to those who are in need of it. Finally, monetary policy should not be used in isolation but in collaboration with fiscal policy.
