Nigeria To Delay GDP Rebasing Till Next Year by Nobody: 12:30pm On Apr 09, 2013 |
Nigeria to delay rebasing of GDP until next year The rebasing of Nigeria’s gross domesticproduct (GDP), which is expected to increase the estimated size of Africa’s second-largest economy by about 40 percent, was likely to be delayed until next year, the head of the statistics bureau said yesterday. National Bureau of Statistics director general Yemi Kale said it was unlikely that they would be able to carry out the rebalancing by a target of the last quarter. The recalculation will enable Nigeria to join the ranks of middle-income countries and put it much closer in size to South Africa, the continent’s most developed economy. – Reuters http://www.iol.co.za/business/international/nigeria-to-delay-rebasing-of-gdp-until-next-year-1.1497272#.UWP8PF18uo8 |

I find it odd that we are rebasing our GDP all in the name of chest beating to show some fictitious growth when there are benefits in making the world believe we are a small economy just like Singapore did for years. Why? cheaper loans for one, more aids, less stringent requirements for certain things. This will allow us develop with more added pressure from comparing ourselves to other economies. |

To Sheyi my YORUBA friend Nigeria will still be behind to SA in many things. South Africa has the highest number of tarred roads in Africa(even low income areas are tarred with running water and electricity). While half of Nigerias population live in RURAL AREAS where water is still fetched from rivers and dams with no electricity. WELL BEING OF ALL CITIZENS IS CELEBRATED Data published by the institute - an independent think-tank producing research, policy critiques and risk analysis on South Africa - shows that between 1996 and 2010: The number of South African households living in formal houses increased from 5.8-million to 11-million or by 89.9%. Over the same period the proportion of all households living in a formal house increased from 64% to 76%. The number of South African households with access to electricity increased from 5.2-million to 11.9-million or by 127.9%, while the proportion of all households with access to electricity increased from 58% to 83%. The number of South African households with access to piped water increased from 7.2-million to 12.7-million or by 76.6%. The proportion with access to piped water increased from 80% to 89%. "Increases of a similar magnitude are true for all 15 service delivery indicators tracked by the institute," Cronje said. "These improvements are corroborated by Living Standard Measure [LSM] improvements, which show equally dramatic improvements in the number and proportion of people in higher living standard brackets. "Together with increased access to social welfare, which now reaches over 15-million people, service delivery successes are responsible for the fact that the proportion of South Africans living on less than US$2/day has declined from 12% in 1994, and a peak of 17% in 2002, to just 5% today." Regarding service delivery protests, Cronje said that there was "no contradiction between the successes we identify and the protests that are now commonplace around the country. "These protests are not a function of the failure of delivery but rather of its success, in that this success has raised expectations that cannot be met because of shortcomings in the school system and the labour market." Cronje said that while the ruling African National Congress (ANC) was not perfect, and while it could be debated whether state-led delivery was the best development model for a country to follow, "the data we have published is unambiguous that the ANC and the government it leads deserves considerably more credit for improving the living standards of poor and black South Africans than it has received."

PREPARE TO SEE SOUTH AFRICA CELEBRATING OIL DISCOVERY SOON(official statement its secret just like Russia that kept it a secret to reveal their diamonds trillion dollar wealth).Namibia has started rigging its OIL. Namibia has 16 BILLION BARRELS of oil recently the researchers have found out that have 50 billion barrels of oil their rocks formations are similar to Brazil. While Falkland Islands near Argentina have discovered 60 billion barrels of oil their rock formations are similar to West Coast of South Africa. Here the link to SA contigent oil=30billion barrels. http://www.energy.gov.za/files/IEP/presentations/OilandGasReservesInSA_30March2012.pdf |

AFRICAS RECENT OIL FINDINGS might affect Nigerias oil prices(might force them to drink it) CENTRAL AFRICA DRC,Congo Brazzaville,Gabon,Equitorial Guinea all have oil. I wont dwell on them. EAST AFRICA OIL This regions population has overtaken west africa is projected to double the size of west africa in 2050. Kenya=10 billion barrels Ethiopia=2 billion barrels untapped Somalia=11 billion barrels unapped(Italy is back offering em help to rebuild their country). Tanzania=5 billion barrels SOUTHERN AFRICA OIL Namibia=18-166 billion of original oil(seen as next Norway) South Africa=12-30 billion barrels untapped secret, built Mthombo and Coega for this. Mozambique=17 billion barrels Madagascar=21 billion barrels untapped Videocon's Mozambique block finds 17bn barrels of oil Markets And Macros at 14 March 2013 11:00 am SHARE . EMAIL . PRINT . A+ Gas company Anadarko has discovered a substantial quantity of gas in two gas wells off the coast of Mozambique. India's Videocon and BPCL, both have 10% stake in those gas wells and it is being considered as one of the largest gas finds in the world. Anadarko informed that its Atum Discovery Well encountered 92 metres gas pay. Atum and Golfinho gas wells are also believed to hold 10-30 Tcf of gas. The company further told that the offshore Area I Recoverable Resource is approaching 100 Tcf of gas. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Venugopal Dhoot, CMD, Videocon is elated with the discovery and says that it is indeed a very good news for the country . He said that the exploration could lead to the procurement of as much as 17 billion barrels of oil and India is eligible for a 20% share. Dhoot further added that the Rovuma Area I is one of the largest ever gas finds globally. However, only two-third of Rovuma's area has been drilled and further drilling is expected in the second half of CY12. Although, the company has not fixed any timeline for oil and gas demerger, Dhoot calculates the NPV(Net Present Value) of Videocon's stake in the Mozambique block at USD 6.5 billion. Below is the edited transcript of the interview on CNBC-TV18. Also watch the accompanying videos. Q: Can you tell us about the discovery off the coast of Mozambique? What is the amount that Anadarko is talking about? A: It's a very good news for India. India will be having 20% of the gas. Anadarko said that about 60 tcf of gas has been found and it is approaching the recoverable 60 trillion and it is approaching towards 100 trillion recovered reserve. It is equal to 17 billion barrels of oil and Videocon and BPCL both have 20% share in the gas well. It's a very big find and very big news. I should say this is one of the largest gas find in the world as on today and from the beginning Mozambique field has been very successful to Videocon and it started from 10 Tcf and now it is talking about 100 Tcf. This is enviable to any gas producer in the world. Q: Just wanted to come down with regards to the 10% stake that Videocon holds in this oil discovery. What exactly would it value your stake at this point in time and give us a sense in terms of the modalities of the possible demerger of your oil and gas business? Where would all of this stand now? A: That demerger will come later. I think NPV calculation at today's rate should come to around USD 6.5 billion for Videocon. It's a great news. It's a great success. That should be the value and our other partners would also benefit. This is just the beginning. Just one-third area of Mozambique has been discovered so far. Mozambique is now approaching to be as big as Qatar and it is good news for Videocon and India. |
