Abstract: This paper sort to analyse the impact of exchange rate on balance of payments positions in Nigeria, using the secondary data sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulleting (1981-2021) in its analysis. The study employed Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) to estimate the short run and long run impact of Exchange Rate on Balance of Payment (BOP) in Nigeria. The Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) bound co-integration test showed a Long Run relationship between Exchange Rate and Balance of Payment in Nigeria. The empirical result eventually showed that exchange rate has negative and significant impact only in the long run in Nigeria. The study recommends that the policy makers should take keen interest on how best to improve the value of Nigeria‟s export to the world; this will help bring to equilibrium the exchange rates that play a crucial part in determining the balance of payments. Again, appropriate monitoring machineries should be set up to ensure judicious use of credit an available foreign exchange..
