Abstract

The study examined the bank credit and the manufacturing sub-sector. The main objective of the study is to analyse the relationship between bank loans and the manufacturing sector output, to analyse the relationship between total commercial bank loans and manufacturing sector output and To analyse the relationship between commercial bank prime rate and the manufacturing sector output. Thus, the population of the study was base on bank credit and the manufacturing sub-sector. Which include gross domestic product and manufacturing sector output rate. The study base it analysis on bank credit and the manufacturing sub-sector. The source of information was the secondary source which was derive from central bank statistical bulletin 2018. The method for data analysis used is the multiple regression. The finding of this study revealed that there is significant positive relationship between bank credit and the manufacturing sub-sector It is therefore recommended that government should endeavor to ensure that there is adequate and sufficient credit allocated to the manufacturing sector in Nigeria with reasonable or affording leading rate. This will enable the manufacturing sector in Nigeria to curve, which is full capacity,. In the long run it will lead to development of the Nigerian economy, through employment generation, innovation competition, economic dynamism and promotion of indigenous technology, for Nigeria to meet it millennium development goals and objectives. It should be depending more on products and services produced within her boundaries; hence the need to encourage the manufacturing sector. It will give her the privileges of enjoying favourable balance of payments, as well as favourable terms of trade, which are the fundamentals for economic growth and development in the 21st century and Priority attention in terms of credit allocation be given to real sector probably by reintroducing the sectoral credit allocation policy.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The manufacturing sector plays important roles in modern economy and has many dynamics benefits crucial for economic transformation. In a typical advanced economy, the manufacturing sector is a leading sector in many respects. It is an avenue for increasing productivity related to impart replacement and expansion creating foreign exchange earnings capacity and raging employment and for capital income which causes unique consumption pattern.

Further, it creates investment capital at a faster rate than any other sector of the economy while promoting wider and more effective linkage among different sectors. In terms of contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the manufacturing sector is dominant and it has been overtaken to the service sector in a number of organization for economic cooperation and development (DECD) countries (Anyawu, 2000).

Before independence, Agriculture products dominated Nigeria economy and accounted for the major share of its foreign earnings. Initially inadequate capital investment permitted only modest expansion of manufacturing activities against this background, industrialization involves extensive technology based development of the productive (manufacturing) system of an economy. Thus, the development of the industrial sector represents the deliberate and sustained application and combination of suitable technologies, management technologies and other sources to move the economy from the traditional law level of production to a more automated and efficient system of mass production of goods and services.

In recognitions of this potential role of the sector, successive government in Nigeria has continued to articulate policy measure and programme to achieve industrial growth incentive and adequate finance. The central goal of government policy is to foster growth in the manufacturing sector over the years, and largely in response to some of the previous policy strategies, the main feature of the Nigerian manufacturing sector is demerged. The role of bank creditor in the growth of manufacturing sector cannot be over emphasized, for instance, the federal government’s appropriation bill for the year 2005 has as on its broad policy objectives to achieve a high economic growth rate i.e. GDP of at least 5% through a better mobilization and product used for economic resources. This objectives is not achievable without the significant levels of resources from the financial sector being mobilized and deployed to finance manufacturing expansion and growth. Banks have to be effective intermediaries for mobilizing and channel credit to the productive sector of the economy specially the manufacturing sector of real sector.

Therefore, this work is aimed at investigating the impact of commercial bank lending on manufacturing sector in Nigeria.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

There is no gain say that the Nigerian government over decades is ranked among the top ten countries of the world that depends on foreign made goods that is, it’s ratio of export to import is nothing to write home above commentaries and available statistics have shown that the country is depending more on import. This is a clear demonstration that perhaps our sluggish growth pace of the economy is because the country’s productive capacity is low. The productive capacity of a country is a major determinant of its growth potentials.

In light of the above, therefore this work intends to examine the extent to which commercial banks credits has favoured or otherwise the real sector of the economy. This is conceived because of the manufacturing sector of the economy is being supported with bank credit it will significantly improve the nation’s productive capacity. The manufacturing sector of any economy is an important sector of the economy whose activities is capable, hence most government formulate and adopt policies aimed at channeling sufficient find to the sector. In Nigeria, this was the case arising the sectoral allocation policy before it’s revocation/suspension by the Babangida’s regime in 1991.

In influence of credit advanced to the real sector of the economy has received little internet from researchers. Banks have to be effective intermediaries for mobilizing and channeling deposits to the productive sector of the economy especially the manufacturing sector. However, in spite of continuous policy strategy to attract credits to the manufacturing sector, the Nigerian manufacturing enterprises have remain unattractive for deposit money bank credit at low lending rate (Ogar, Nkamare, and Effiong, 2014). For instance, as indicated in the central bank of Nigeria (CBN report 2005), almost throughout the regulatory era, commercial banks loans and advances to the manufacturing sector deviated persistently from prescribed minimal. Accordingly, the manufacturing sector in Nigeria is faced with the problem of accessibility of funds for productive investment, hence its poor performance in recent years (Edirisuriya, 2008).

Also, given the present government’s policy twist of diversifying the economy away from oil towards non-oil in which manufacturing sector is central on one hand, and on the other hand increasing the rates of interest on loans as signaled by the recent hike in the MPR from 12 to 14, calls for the investigation of the impact of bank credit which is largely determined by the prevailing interest rate on the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. It is therefore necessary to undertake a critical study of the impact of commercial bank lending on the manufacturing sector of Nigeria economy.

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The main objective of the study is to analyse the relationship between commercial banks’ credit and the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. However, the specific objectives would include to analyses;

I.       Is there any relationship between commercial bank credit and manufacturing sector output.?

1.5 RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS

This research work will be guided with the following hypotheses.

Ho1: Bank credit does not have any significant relationship on the output of the manufacturing sector in Nigeria.

1.6 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY

The study is expected to offer significance to the government and financial institutions to ascertain the source of solution to the problem of manufacturing sector development due to lack of capital. It will also enable manufacturing companies operating in the country to avail themselves of the financing opportunities available so that failure of industries can be minimized.

The study will also provide useful information that will help in policy formation regarding industries financing in Nigeria. It will also enlighten the central bank of Nigeria to know whether to increase or sustain the allocation percentage rate to the manufacturing sector.

i.        To researchers, the study will add to literature on the study variables to future researchers.

ii.       To analyst; this study will be of immense benefit to economic analyst who would want to trace the impact of commercial bank lending on the manufacturing sector in Nigeria.

iii.      To policy makers; it will provide a guide to operators in the banking industry and CBN on the proper frame to adopt towards commercial bank lending with the view of enhancing growth in the manufacturing sector.

Finally, the study will be of immense use to bank managers and banking experts who want some appropriate solutions to some of their banking problems.

1.7 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The study is delimited under the following heading; content scope, geographical scope and unit of analysis.

Content scope: the content scope of this study is to analyse the relationship between commercial bank’s credit and the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. Geographical scope: this study is delimited to the Nigeria banking sector with reference to the manufacturing sector.

Unit of analysis: the unit of analysis of the study involves secondary data gotten from CBN bulletin.

Every research study has certain limitations which fall short of the ideas which the researcher has established or recognized given the critical and sensitive of the topic, under this study, the researcher encountered a number of problems which hindered the researcher work. Most importantly, the time frame within which the work was expected to be completed was too short. Besides, the researcher was not financially buoyant enough to carry out all the investigation deemed necessary to be carried out.

Finally, the availability of current literature for the research work also gave it’s own hindrance as the subject matter have been a matter of public discussion without proper literature to support the various argument made on it.
