ABSTRACT
This study examines the impact of Capital Market performance on economic
growth of Nigeria for the period 1983 – 2010. Economic growth was proxied by 
gross domestic product while capital market performance was measured by
market capitalization, total new issues, volume of transaction and listed 
equities. Data was collected using secondary source of data only. The technique 
employed was multiple regression as tool of analysis for the study. The findings 
of the study shows that the capital market performance has positively and 
significantly impacted on the Nigerian economy within the period of the study
(1983- 2010). The study therefore, recommends among others that the Central 
Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and Security and 
Exchange Commission (SEC) should ensure free flow of information in the 
market. This is necessary in order to attract more investors and increase new 
issues which will automatically increase the quantum of market capitalization 
that will result in improving the performance of the Nigerian capital market.
