The results show that broad money, cyclical risk premium and liquidity ratio tend to increase credit to the private sector. However, prime lending rate and reserve ratio lead to a reduction in credit to the private sector. Private credit increases with inflation, but not one to one, meaning that inflation tends to dampen real bank credit to the private sector.  </p><p><em>Key Words</em>: credit growth, banking sector, industry, error correction model.</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Sustainable Development}, author={Akinlo, A.
