One thing you need to know is that this world is a global market where countries compete with one another daily. Now after printing the huge money in Naira equivalent, what the government will spend the money on will directly or indirectly affect the international currency ($) which will lead to inflation and then worsen the economy. 1. Asuming that the money is locally spent here. The local people that got hold of the money will need to purchase goods with the money (now higher demands on the already shortage of goods available). The higher the demands of goods and stagnation in productivity will definately lead to increase in price which will indeed make life more difficult for the poor set of people. The only way that the government can mitigate these effects is to import goods produced in another country which will demand for a lot of $ from our our depleted reserve. Remember: We don't have the rights or resources to print $. 2.If the government decides to bring in experts from outside to build some great infrastructural structures for us with the money. They will want to be paid in $. Even when they decide to get paid in Naira, they will in return later exchange it to $ equivalent. Definately, our $ reserve will suffer for this. Can you now see why the government is requesting for loans instead of printing the Naira equivalent ?. 2 Likes |

Ebookmathswaec: Your question was answered 300 years ago when Europeans thought more money means more wealth and prosperity for an economy. However, Adams Smith revealed that a country's wealth is determined by its output and not gold or money. An individual will be wealthier by having more money. But what's true for an individual is not true for the whole economy. If you print money to fund anything, you'll have more money chasing the same quantity of goods and services which will raise prices (inflation) and make everyone poorer. The most recent example of a country that printed money to fund government spending is Zimbabwe in the early 2000s. The end result was predictable: sky-high inflation (economists call it hyper-inflation). Due to the inflation, a teacher's salary in Zimbabwe was 30 billion Zimbabwean dollars per week, yet she had to resign because it couldn't transport her to work for the whole week. A bottle of coke was famously sold for 2 billion Zimbabwean dollars. Surely Nigeria won't want to repeat that experience don't you agree? 2 Likes |

Lectureradodo:There's a clear difference between the inflationary effects of legitimate government debt and reckless money printing. When the government borrows money, no new money is created as other economic agents give money they already have to the government. Yes, when the proceeds of that borrowing is used on recurrent expenditure, there is a clear inflationary impact, yet that is no where near what will happen with money-debasing printing. Besides in this case, the borrowing is in dollars, from foreign economic agents, which will actually increase the nation's reserves and help fund critical infrastructure. |

All good explanations. Expanded here, for instance, there are two families in the world namely family A and family B. Family A is tasked or they are in charge of producing only female children while family B is tasked or in charge of producing male children. Now remember the law of supply and demand which states that if supply is greater than demand, there will suppluss of the other so supply and demand has to be equall to keep balance as required. Now family A which is in charge of female production has a problem to solve with money so they deceided to put out too much girls out for sale even morethan the people are demanding. Now when the buyers notice that there are too much girls in tge market, they will start to price them lower so instead of 1 female equal to 1 male the buyers will price 3 girls in exchange for 1 male. Now if this continue for long time, the females will continue to lose value till buyers will price 5 girls for onr male and then there will notbe comodity balance and before you know it people will not be buying girls again becus they have valueless and out of demand so the famale producer might not be able to buy anything becus he has nothing to give in exchange for what he need. 2 Likes |

abescom:Your claim on China's imports is incorrect sir. Last year China imported goods and services worth over $1.3 trillion (almost 3 times the size of Nigeria's GDP). Based on economic principles, any country will benefit from a weaker currency eventually over the long run. Even if you are an import dependent country like Nigeria, a weaker currency will make imports prohibitively expensive, which will eventually encourage local production. For example, since the naira began to reflect its true value in 2016, practically no one imports things like eggs, toothpick, cooking oils and many other consumer goods. It will take time, but if we allow the naira at this low level long enough, I assure you more and more products will be produced domestically. 2 Likes |

base on the contributions so far i think this man's question is a nice question, very good question. Atleast some ppl have gone back to their basic economics while those that did not well in economics have learnt their lessons @ the OP the simple is that more in circulation leads to inflation. 1 Like |

Dnt have energy to type much. But wull say a Lil. If you print more money, the amount of goods doesn’t change. If there is more money chasing the same amount of goods, firms will just put up prices. If a country prints more money, and inflation occurs, which is a sure thing, the money loses value against other currencies. Using Zimbabwe as a case study. The kind of inflation I was talking about is HYPER INFLATION My typing enregy fdon finish stilldoingokay: 1 Like |

exlinklodge:If an export-based country like China devalues her currency, their exports become cheaper abroad since fewer Dollar is now needed to get a given unit of their export. This will lead to even further increase in the demand for their export. With the devaluation of local currency, imported goods become more expensive, leading to a fall in their demand. So China uses devaluation to boost export and discourage import. 1 Like |
