I strongly believe that financial inclusion is not just a goal — it’s a necessity for everyone, whether as an individual or an institution, for sustainable development. Financial inclusion is a catalyst for national and personal transformation. When we ensure that every Ugandan has access to affordable financial services, we’re laying the groundwork for a more vibrant, resilient economy. At Housing Finance Bank, Uganda, we uphold the core essence of financial inclusion by making sure everyone achieves financial independence. Together, we can create a world where financial security is within everyone's reach! As we continue to advance these efforts, let’s remember that an inclusive financial system is the foundation of a prosperous and resilient Uganda. #WeMakeItEasy

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 I am thrilled to share that my latest research paper has just been published! 🎉 📄 Title: "Financial Development, Monetary Policy, and the Monetary Transmission Mechanism—An Asymmetric ARDL Analysis". In this paper, I explore the asymmetric impacts of financial development and monetary policy on the monetary transmission mechanisms in Nigeria, spanning data from 1986 to 2023. Utilizing nonlinear ARDL models, the study reveals fascinating insights into how changes in monetary policy and financial sector innovations influence the economy differently based on the level of financial development. Key Findings: 🔍 Asymmetries exist in both the short and long run. 📊 The effects of financial development and monetary policy on various monetary channels are not uniform. 🌍 Highlighting the complex interaction between financial development and monetary policy, especially in evolving financial markets. 📈 Recommendations for policies to enhance the financial system across banking, capital, and bond markets to boost the effectiveness of monetary interventions. This research aims to provide valuable information for policymakers to tailor their strategies, ultimately enhancing economic stability and growth in Nigeria. A big thank you to everyone who supported and contributed to this work! 🙏 Read more about the study here: https://lnkd.in/eiBeMWQ9    https://lnkd.in/esu6T7nC #Research #Economics #FinancialDevelopment #MonetaryPolicy #Nigeria #EconomicGrowth #Policymaking #Economies #CentralBankofNigeria #CBN #@MDPIOpenAccess #MonetaryTransmissionMechanism #AssetPriceChannel #CreditChannel #ExchangeRateChannel #InflationExpectationsChannel #InterestRateChannel #BankingSectorDevelopment #CapitalMarketDevelopment #BondMarketDevelopment #FinancialLiberalization
