In an ordinary parlance, deficit financing can be seen as a budgetary situation whereby the expenditure of the government exceeds its revenue, accumulated through tax. This budgetary system is undertaken by many developing countries of the world as a means of achieving some macro-economics objectives.
In conventional settings, deficit financing is seen as a policy strategy which is mostly undertaken to address macro-economic quagmires like depression and low output. On the other hand, deficit financing still appears to be a strategy that has the tendency of mounting pressure on prices thereby causing inflation.
Therefore the need to carryout an investigation on the Implications of Deficit Financing on Nigerian Economy cannot be overemphasized and this forms the primary objective of the this study.
The methodology to be adopted in this research is the linear regression with the application of ordinary least square (OLS) technique.
Based on the results-derived, the researcher will draw sensible conclusion and recommendations.
