Background of the Study :
Monetary policy plays a critical role in maintaining financial market stability by regulating money supply, interest rates, and inflation. In Nigeria, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has implemented various monetary policy measures between 2000 and 2020 aimed at stabilizing financial markets and fostering economic confidence (Emeka, 2023). These measures include open market operations, adjustments in policy interest rates, and interventions in foreign exchange markets. Empirical evidence suggests that effective monetary policy can mitigate financial volatility and enhance market predictability, which are essential for investment and economic growth (Ibrahim, 2024). However, challenges such as policy transmission delays, external shocks, and fiscal imbalances can undermine these efforts. This study investigates the impact of monetary policy on financial market stability in Nigeria by analyzing key financial indicators, policy changes, and market reactions. Interviews with financial experts and analysis of market data provide a comprehensive understanding of how the CBN’s strategies contribute to or detract from market stability, offering recommendations for improving policy efficacy (Chinwe, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite active monetary policy interventions by the CBN, Nigeria’s financial markets continue to exhibit significant volatility. The disconnect between policy objectives and market outcomes suggests that external factors and internal inefficiencies may be undermining the effectiveness of monetary policy (Emeka, 2023). This study seeks to identify the factors that inhibit the stabilization of financial markets and assess the overall impact of current monetary policies on market confidence and stability. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for proposing adjustments that can enhance the effectiveness of monetary interventions and promote sustainable financial market development.
Objectives of the Study:
1. To evaluate the impact of monetary policy on market stability.
2. To identify factors that disrupt effective policy transmission.
3. To recommend improvements for monetary policy implementation.
Research Questions:
1. How does monetary policy affect financial market stability in Nigeria?
2. What factors limit the effectiveness of monetary interventions?
3. What policy adjustments can enhance market stability?
Research Hypotheses:
1. Effective monetary policy reduces market volatility.
2. External shocks hinder policy effectiveness.
3. Policy improvements significantly enhance financial stability.
Significance of the Study (100 words):
This study is significant as it appraises the impact of monetary policy on financial market stability in Nigeria, providing essential insights for the CBN and policymakers. Its findings will help in refining monetary interventions to reduce volatility and improve investor confidence, thereby supporting sustainable economic growth (Emeka, 2023).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
The study focuses on monetary policy measures implemented by the CBN from 2000 to 2020 and their impact on financial market stability. It does not cover non-monetary factors or other central banks’ policies.
Definitions of Terms:
1. Monetary Policy: Strategies employed by a central bank to control money supply and interest rates.
2. Financial Market Stability: The ability of financial markets to operate without excessive volatility.
3. Policy Transmission: The process by which monetary policy affects the economy.
