chidiokay: You are consumed with defensiveness about the new administration to reason logically. Once again, wether the new administration succeeds is NOT dependent on exchange rate of the dollar, it is dependent on the vibrancy of the economy! It'd be very easy to make $1 = N100 if that's all that's needed. Simple, stop printing Naira - like Emefiele tried to do. But it'd mean nothing because the underlying economy will still be nonsense! |

CandyOps: Actually, they can. If the CBN decides to set aside $5B for a blitzkrieg-style intervention and announce a $3B/quarter commitment for clearing backlogs; rates will fall to 650 on every market within 3 days. The trouble is keeping that up. Banks will have to lift restrictions. Form A/Q applications will have to take days. Manufacturers and firms with large capital needs will need their requests filled within days and not be added to a backlog. Thus, crashing the rate is not impossible. It's actually quite easy. It's the follow-through that's giving them pause. That's one reason. Possibly the primary reason. Another is that they're trying to be methodological. They've only just floated the rate and do not want to make any aggressive move just yet that'd be misinterpreted as hawkish and protectionist. The different exchange rates and all are a fugazi. Nothing but a loophole money merchants and BDCs take advantage of They aren't loopholes per say. There is a business case for the rates. Physical is less convenient, so it's cheaper. P2P accessibility and competition is high, so best rates come out on top. The dollar card providers have something of a monopoly that they know is ephemeral. If Pharmaceutical companies in the US can charge an arm and a leg for essential medication, you bet your hat a budding fintech firm will charge the highest rate their customers are willing to bear (inclusive of their profit margin of course). There is parity between the I&E window is the parallel market. So it's all worked out if you ask me. Unfortunately, in their policy document, they envisaged a 500-600 rate band. Not 750-800, which is where things have settled at now. This complicates their economic projections. From gasoline price to inflation rate. The main Koko is oil and our natural resources. And how we don't gain directly from its absolute international value due to the fact that we don't refine at commercial qtys. So we export and rebuy (which is stupid imo) That's not it. It's the fact that gasoline is the primary energy source for the informal economy. No economy of our size relies on gasoline to power a large informal economy. You can run the numbers. A liter is $1.20. How many hours do you get out of a liter in a generator on a corner shop? Whatever it is, I guarantee you it is several multiples of the $0.10 kwH rate. This creates a drain on revenue because there is an unwritten social contract that gasoline must be cheap. So a significant part of our income goes to honoring that contract on consumption levels that are way higher than it should be. Nigeria has the 11th highest consumption rate of Gasoline. ALL countries with higher consumption rates generate several multiples of our revenue. Source: https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/gasoline_consumption We're spending scarce currency on the most inefficient energy source with sh*t productivity. If the CBN decides to spend upwards of $10B to defend the currency, it'll be because the FG fears unrest that'd be generated by N800/L gasoline price. That is a quasi-subsidy, albeit one time and with a much lower ongoing sustainment rate. This major structural imbalance spawn a lot of horrible negative multiplier effects. More importantly, whenever there is a shock to the economic system, regardless of source, we're found wanting. And that is just gasoline. There are other imbalances that contribute in no small measure to our predicament. The Naira being hinged on the USD is the main clog in our financial wheels here... which is why this ongoing thing with BRICS and the war in Ukarine is a vital topic and Nigeria could be caught in the crossfires economically if they keep paying allegiance to the West All currencies hinge on the USD. The USD is the reserve currency. The difference is that most working countries do not suffer from the same structural imbalances that plague our economy. And just as importantly, possess the requisite capacity to defend their economic interests. When they fail, you get an Egypt, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Turkey. Exchange rates are out of whack and they have lots of infernos to put out. Nigeria works when conditions are perfect. But ANY slight weather change and we start dealing with a pseudo-collapse. Capital controls, bans, and what not. We were minding our business until Saudi Arabia decided to prosecute an Oil War with US producers in 2014. That caused the first ruckus. We recovered somewhat in 2017. Then while we were trying to keep things together, COVID showed up and started a wildfire in 2020. When we patch things up later this year, another crisis will throw us off course in the near future. It is inevitable. -Lord 3 Likes 1 Share |

CandyOps: The CBN I feel is doing its best. It has closed the very juicy arbitrage gap in exchange rates that was the hallmark of Buharinomics. What gap are you now complaining about that the BDCs and money merchants can take advantage of. Before Tinubu, it was 461 at the official rate and 750 at the black market. Now, its about 750 at the official and 760 at the black market. In what government would these BDCs and money merchants have truly benefitted from if we need to be frank? Yes, Nigeria exporting crude oil and importing refined products was wrong. But again, the populace wanted a fuel subsidy and paid the price for it by the nation exporting crude oil and importing refined crude. Which top 25 bank would lend you $2bn to build a 100,000 bpd refinery when the price of refined oil is sold at a subsidized price or price dictated by government? The only reason why Dangote and Bua could borrow was they had their huge profits from their protected cement businesses to use as collateral. With the subsidy now gone, expect a massive expansion in refining capacity in the country. Tinubu is aiming for a 2mbpd refining capacity by 2030. This should be achievable. The Dollar for many years to come will remain the reserve currency. China's Yuan is not convertible. India's Rupee stands no chance. The Russian Rouble has fallen from 50 Roubles to a Dollar in 2022 to 83 today and is still falling. Brazil Real holds nothing for the future. If you add all the BRICs countries, they do not even add up to the US economy. Copy: Lordadam16 1 Like |

maasoap: It doesn't really matter much. No one hoards dollars more than Chinese government. There is more than enough dollars in the world - the thing is to have something that consistently brings it to Nigeria. That's why the underlying economy is really what matters. If Emefiele had succeed, naira would have been scarce - we could have had $1 = N100. But it wouldn't change much because the underlying economy was crap. It would be very hard to make that N100 and eventually wages would have to be lowered. You'd have $1 = N100 but you'd also have very serious recession if not depression! |
