Modelling Mexican Peso to Nigerian Naira Exchange Rates Due to the two Nigerian Economic Recessions: An Intervention Analysis Approach

Amadi, Ebere Peace, Anthony Ike Wegbom and Weli Azubuike

Abstract

Modelling the Mexican Peso to the Nigerian Naira exchange rates with the standard Box-Jenkins ARIMA model in the presence of external events might be misleading and generating forecasts from such model may be unreliable. This study posits that the exchange rate between Mexican Peso and Nigerian Naira was exclusively influenced by the economic downturn experienced in Nigeria during the years 2016 and 2020. Thus, the intervention is described as a step function.
