Specific findings revealed that money Supply M2 and Exchange Rate EXR have significant positive relationships with growth of the financial sector at current and third lags, respectively but inflation rate has a significant negative effect on financial sector output in the current period, while Interest rate INT and Credit to Private Sector had no significant effect on financial sector output within the short run periods in Nigeria.
