This study analyzes the effect of external debt on the real exchange rate and determine the point of regime change when the debt settles at a given rate in ECOWAS countries. The quadratic approach estimated using least squares is used. The results reveal that the external debt has a negative and significant effect on the real exchange rate but when it is squared gives positive and significant effect on the real exchange rate. The relationship takes the form of a “U” curve. The minimum threshold found is 20.5%.
