Abstract
The research focuses on the impact of exchange rate fluctuation, i.e., nominal exchange rates and exchange rate volatility in addition to inflation and trade openness, on the exporting performance of Nigeria during 1991–2024. The study uses time series data collected from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), and World Bank to conduct an ARDL analysis. From the preliminary unit root analysis, it is observed that the series exhibit a mixed order of integration (I(0) and I(1)) and the preliminary correlations indicate a positive correlation of trade openness and exchange rate with exports and negative correlation of inflation and exchange rate volatility with exports. Considering that the results of bounds test do not support cointegration, the study considers the macroeconomic impacts on the exports of Nigeria in the short run. The short run ARDL model estimates indicate that trade openness and exchange rate depreciation positively affect the export performance of the country, while exchange rate volatility negatively affects its export performance and inflation is found to be insignificant.
