The significance of the financial system to economic development is not quite clear-cut. Some researchers such as Hicks (1969) are of the opinion that the financial system plays a crucial role in the mobilization of capital for industrialization. On the other hand, there are those, who hold a contrary view. In the 1980s, several African governments embarked on structural adjustments programs in order to correct the disruptions in their economies. As Geo-Jaja and Mangum (2001) note, structural adjustment programs seldom delivered on their intended objectives. However, the relationship between financial development and economic growth during post-SAP period is examined using the Spearman rank correlation. The expected outcome of the structural adjustment program in Nigeria was marred by policy reversals of government. This is a possible reason for the poor performance of the financial sector of the economy. Therefore, financial development and economic growth have no consistent relationship in post-SAP Nigeria.
Economic utility reaction; this is the degree of economic responsiveness resulting from exploiting a given quantity and quality of production and consumption of a given society for its economic end at a given period of time.The law of economic utility reaction,according to sserubogo;it states that,the degree of economic responsiveness that result from exploiting a given level of national production and consumption towards a given economic end is directly proportional to the level of economic structural adjustment force produced by a given quality and quantity of economic ignition,economic coordination and economic regulation towards that end.Such that, any percentage change in the level of economic ignition, coordination and regulation towards a given economic end, results into a corresponding percentage change in the level of economic structural adjustment force towards that economic end upon which the degree of economic responsiveness towards that economic end depends.
Economic growth is necessary for economic development but not a sufficient proof of economic development. The improvement of people's living condition is a greater assessment of economic development.
nature of economic development
