Abstract: The study evaluated the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on external reserves in Nigeria with the use of a cointegration approach. This study originates from the master's thesis of the first (principal) author. The study was based on time series data spanning from 1981 to 2014. The study concluded that exchange rate fluctuations significantly affect external reserves in Nigeria. The findings of the study suggests that monetary policies particularly exchange rate have been volatile. This volatility implies that the conservative monetary management policies put in place in Nigeria for stabilizing the exchange rate of a unit U.S dollar to naira over the years has been ineffective. There is therefore a need for CBN to put in place sound monetary policy measures to attain stability in monetary tools. There also arises the need to ensure effective foreign exchange management measures particularly in terms of meeting the high demands for foreign currency which characterized the balance of trade and the overall economic performance in Nigeria.
