Abstract

The Human Development Index was used as a proxy for development outcomes in examining the effect of monetary policy on economic development in Nigeria. Annual time series data spanning 1980 to 2023 were analyzed using the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares technique to assess long-run relationships. Findings reveal that money supply has a statistically significant and positive effect on human development at the 5% significance level, suggesting that well-managed monetary expansion can support development goals. The study recommends that the Central Bank of Nigeria adopt controlled money supply growth policies and review government expenditure to enhance welfare and support disadvantaged groups.
