Therefore, regular adjustment and reforms are done to monetary policy which creates a lot of uncertainties in the market. This paper therefore examined the demand for money (narrow money, M1) in Nigeria, using quarterly time series data from 2006 to 2018, the study attempted multiple OLS regression analysis and ARDL. The result found out that money demand function cannot be appropriately estimated by OLS estimation technique due to the presence of the lagged value of both the dependent and independent variables. Although, the no long run relationship among the variables but the result indicates that M1 is largely influenced by inflation, exchange rate, MPR (Monetary Policy Rate), and savings as well as real GDP to some extent; particularly in the short run. It was observed from the analysis that economic units in Nigeria are shedding more of cash assets (Naira) as inflation increases while stocking up on foreign cash and assets (dollar and foreign denominated assets) as shown by the positive-related exchange rate. Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the existing literature by examining the demand for money (narrow money, M1) in Nigeria and using quarterly time series data from 2006 to 2018, the study attempted multiple OLS regression analysis and ARDL.","PeriodicalId":282667,"journal":{"name":"Financial Risk and Management Reviews","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121362039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on impacts of deregulation policy of interest rate on the profitability of commercial bank, which will create competition among conventional financial institution for their traditional activities of banks (Deposits, loans and other financial institutions activities).

Study found that interest rate and exchange rate has significant influence but market capitalization and tax rate have insignificant impact on return of DS-30 index. Except exchange rate, other three variables were negatively related with DS-30 index return. 1% increases in exchange rate results 0. 993% increase in stock prices while 1% increases in interest rate results 0. 486% decrease in stock prices and vice-versa. Strong negative correlation was seen between interest rate and stock index return.
