THE IMPACT OF CASHLESS POLICY ON ECONOMICS GROWTH OF NIGERIA.
Abstract
This study examined the impact of cashless policy on economic growth of Nigeria for the period of 2011-2018. Data was collected from secondary sources through annual reports obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletins. The impact of cashless policy was proxied by Automated Teller Machine (ATM), Point of Sale (POS), and Internet Banking (WEB), while economic growth was proxied by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Multiple regressions were applied to determine the impact of the policy on the GDP using the ATM, POS and the WEB. The study revealed that ATM has a positive effect on GDP. Based on the findings of the study, it is therefore recommended that awareness should be created on the benefits derivable from cashless policy to stimulate improvement of business activities, thereby enhancing economic growth.
