Abstract

This paper articulates with an exploratory research design further thinking on the issues arising from the Nigerian inter-bank market as central bank of Nigeria review and implement monetary policy to ensure availability of funds for effective management of bank’s liquidity risk. Aside from inefficiencies arising from interaction of market forces, regulatory interventions sometimes hinder the effective allocation of funds in the market. For instance, the upward review of cash reserve requirements (CRR) on public sector funds with commercial banks by the central bank of Nigeria resulted in various market inefficiencies which include inter-bank market rate volatility, scarcity of funds, hoarding and utilization of market power by big banks. Similar policy impulse was unleashed on the Nigerian banking system in 1988 and 1989 when the central bank of Nigeria directed banks to lodge naira backing for foreign exchange application and further transfer public sector deposits to the apex bank.
