Specifically, the study tested for the existence of currency substitution and attempted to gauge its magnitude in Nigeria. Also, causality between currency substitution and exchange rate volatility in Nigeria was investigated. Subsequently, the study analyzed the implications of currency substitution and exchange rate volatility for monetary policy in Nigeria. The study covered a period of 17 years ?1986(1)-2004(4). Quarterly time series data collected from the International Financial Statistics published by the International Monetary Fund(IMF) and Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin were used for the analysis.
