Abstract
The paper examined the effect of stock exchange on capital formation in Nigeria. Data were collected from Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and CBN statistical bulletin 2020. Expost facto design was employed for the study. Ordinary least square regression was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that all the capital market variables have no significant effect on gross fixed capital formation both in the short and long run in Nigeria. Based on the findings, we therefore recommend that government should make policy that will increase market capitalization in order to increase the gross fixed capital in the economy, government should also make policy that will boost the all share index so as to contribute more to gross fixed capital formation in Nigeria etc.
