The importance of macro-financial characteristics in determining the level of domestic savings. The study employed the ARDL cointegration procedure in the estimation and it confirms the presence of a long-run cointegrating relationship between domestic savings and its determinants. The results show that remittances and financial development are significant financial determinants of gross domestic saving in Nigeria. Other determinants are the growth of real per capita income, age dependency ratio, fiscal deficit, and deposit interest rate. Therefore, these important determinants of saving accumulation in Nigeria should not be ignored by policymakers in formulating capital accumulation policies. This study recommends that the need for government policies aimed at leveraging cash flows to facilitate capital accumulation savings and investment. Moreso, the interest rate policy should take market conditions and public requirements into consideration when determining interest rates. Furthermore, there is the need to create a conducive environment for receiving remittances by promoting financial development.enGross DomesticSavingsNigeriaArticle
