The study adopted a positivistic research philosophy and casual research design.. Generalized-two stage least squares instrumental variable regression model (G2SLSIV) was then conducted to test the hypothesis. The findings of the study showed that, macro-economic volatility does not have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between financial integration and economic growth. Therefore, the study recommends that, the governments of respective member states work on a monetary policy that aims to attain a single digit level of inflation rate (low inflation targeting), in the spirit of macro-economic convergence. The study culminates with acknowledging the limitations encountered and provides suggestions for further research.}, number={19}, journal={European Scientific Journal, ESJ}, author={Nzioka, Onesmus Mutunga and Kaijage, Erasmus and Ochieng, Duncan Elly}, year={2017}, month={Jul.}, pages={317} }
