An Empirical Analysis of Pension Funds Assets Influencing Infrastructure Financing in Nigeria

Abstract

This paper examined Pension Fund Assets (PFA)and Infrastructural Financing (INFF) in Nigeria. The Generalized Methods of Moment was used to analyze secondary data of Pension Fund Administrators. The findings show that PFA has a positive and significant effect on INFF. GDP and PFA ratio was found significant in INFF positively and Capital expenditure and PFA ratio had a positive and significant effect on INFF. Inflation however has a negative and significant effect on INFF. The paper recommends PFA as an alternative source of INFF provided measures are taken to prevent its abuse.
