Background of the Study
National exchange rate and price stability are crucial for ensuring economic competitiveness and protecting consumer purchasing power. In Nigeria, GDP growth and FDI are pivotal in influencing these macroeconomic variables. A robust GDP indicates economic strength, which can attract FDI and bolster the domestic currency, whereas sustained FDI inflows can promote stability by enhancing investor confidence (Adeyemi, 2023). However, challenges such as volatile GDP performance and inconsistent FDI inflows can lead to exchange rate fluctuations and price instability (Okoro, 2024). Recent reforms have sought to harness the benefits of GDP growth and FDI to create a more stable economic environment (Balogun, 2025). This study examines the dual impact of GDP and FDI on exchange rate movements and price levels, investigating how these factors interact to promote or undermine economic stability. By analyzing historical trends and policy interventions, the research aims to provide insights into effective strategies for achieving sustained exchange rate and price stability in Nigeria.
Statement of the Problem
Nigeria’s exchange rate and price stability have been compromised by inconsistent GDP growth and volatile FDI inflows. These issues create uncertainty in the financial markets, affecting both domestic and foreign investor confidence (Adeyemi, 2023). The lack of a clear understanding of how GDP and FDI jointly influence exchange rate and price stability hinders the formulation of effective policy responses, leading to persistent economic instability (Okoro, 2024; Balogun, 2025).
