Abstract

Management of macroencomic variables has been noted as instrumental to a well performing manufacturing sector. This study thus examined the effect of macroencomic variables on the manufacturing sector in Nigeria within a liberalised economic era of 1986 to 2018. The Autoregressive Distributive Lag model was employed for data analysis. The results revealed that macroeconomic variables has 93 significant short run policy effect but no significant long run effects on manufacturing sector output in Nigeria. The endogenous dynamics of manufacturing sector previous year outputs exerted a significance influence on the macroeconomic variables long run relationship effect on current year. The explanatory variables suggested that money supply M2 , interest rate INTR and credit to private sector CPS exerted positive effects on manufacturing sector output at short term trends. The study thus posits that macroeconomic variables have varying levels of effects on the manufacturing sectors of Nigerian economy. The monetary authority should employ the monetary policy stance in a pattern that increases money supply in order to boost investment in manufacturing sector which would eventual bring about improved output to Nigeria.
