Analysis of external debt and economic growth in nigeria

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This research project aims to investigate the relationship between external debt and economic growth in Nigeria. The study will utilize empirical analysis to examine the impact of external debt on economic growth in the country over a specific period. The research will employ various economic indicators to assess the dynamics between external debt and economic performance in Nigeria. The motivation for this study stems from the ongoing debate surrounding the effects of external debt on economic development in developing countries like Nigeria. While external debt can provide crucial financing for infrastructure projects and other investments, it also carries the risk of debt distress and economic instability. Understanding the relationship between external debt and economic growth is essential for policymakers to make informed decisions regarding debt management and sustainable development strategies. The research will draw on existing literature on external debt and economic growth to establish a theoretical framework for the study. By reviewing relevant theories and empirical studies, the project aims to identify key variables and relationships that influence the impact of external debt on economic growth in Nigeria. Methodologically, the study will employ quantitative analysis techniques to analyze data on external debt levels, economic indicators, and other relevant variables. The research will likely use econometric models such as regression analysis to estimate the effects of external debt on economic growth in Nigeria. By using statistical methods, the study aims to provide empirical evidence on the relationship between external debt and economic performance in the country. The findings of this research project are expected to contribute to the existing literature on external debt and economic growth in developing countries. By shedding light on the specific case of Nigeria, the study aims to provide insights that can inform policy decisions and strategies for sustainable economic development. The results of the analysis may have implications for debt management practices, fiscal policies, and development planning in Nigeria. In conclusion, this research project seeks to analyze the relationship between external debt and economic growth in Nigeria using empirical methods. By examining the impact of external debt on economic performance, the study aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders interested in the economic development of Nigeria.
