The above stated objective is achieved through econometric modeling and testing of a credit demand model taking into consideration credit to the private sector as an explained variable and GDP, lending interest rate, and export concentration index as explanatory variables. Credit to the private sector was found to be positively correlated to economic activity and negatively linked to the level of economic concentration. |
