ABSTRACT
This research work is centred on the impact of exchange rate fluctuation on the Nigeria’s economic growth with special emphasis
on purchasing power of the average Nigeria and the level of international trade transaction. Without exchange rate the exchange
of goods and services among trading partners will be faced with a lot of problems, which may virtually narrow it down to trade by barter.
This exchange also is used to determine the level of output growth of the country. Hence, the rate at which exchange fluctuates calls for a
lot of attention. However, with already existing exchange rate policies, a constant exchange rate has not been attained. The rate by
which exchange rate fluctuates brings about uncertainty in the trade transaction, and also the rate of naira has been unleashed and
continues to depreciate. This has resulted to declines in standard of living of the population increase in costs of production (this is
because most of the raw materials needed by industries are usually imported), which resulted in cost-push inflation. We made use of
many tests, like the t-statistics table, f-statistic table and the chisquare etc. When we found out real exchange rate has a positive
effect on the GDP.
