Both groups contend that robust domestic investment, foreign capital inflow, and international trade have the potential to enhance economic growth. This study attempts to examine the impact of both investment inflow and international trade on economic growth in Nigeria covering the period of indirect monetary policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria from 1993Q1 to 2022Q3 using the Dynamic Autoregressive Distributed Lag approach.
