External Reserves Rise Further, Now $25.4bn by Truth234(m): 5:38am On Dec 27, 2016 |
The nation’s foreign exchange reserves have risen further to $25.4bn, according to the latest data obtained from the website of the Central Bank of Nigeria. In less than one week, the reserves rose by almost $300m from $25.084bn recorded on December 16, 2016 to $25.361 on December 22, 2016, the CBN data showed This indicated that the foreign exchange reserves had risen to almost four-month high. The last time the reserves recorded something close to this figure was on September 2 when it had the balance of $24.361bn. The nation’s fast-depleting reserves had recorded $23.89bn low on October 19. The reserves have dropped by 15.9 per cent from last year when they closed at $29.7bn. At the end of November, the reserves stood at $24.77bn, up from $23.95bn on October 31. The CBN data showed that the foreign exchange reserves declined to $24.92bn on September 14 from $25.11bn on September 9. Currency and economic experts are not sure if the tiny upticks in the external reserves’ level are sustainable amid a falling naira and acute shortage of dollar in the foreign exchange markets and the economy. “We are not sure the extent this can go. Currently, the FX market is not a free-float one where the interplay of demand and supply determines price and volume. The uptick is not as a result of supply over demand. It happens when there is a slowdown in the allocation of FX,” the Chief Executive Officer, Cowry Asset Management Limited, Mr. Johnson Chukwu, said. A senior associate in investment banking at Afrinvest, a research and investment firm, Mr. Ayodeji Ebo, said the gradual increase might only be sustainable if the oil price maintained its current level and there was a continuous ramp up in oil production. The CBN had on June 20 lifted its 16-month-old currency peg and auctioned about $4bn on the spot and futures market to clear a backlog of dollar demand to help boost interbank market trading. The reserves fell from $26bn on August 4, 2016 to $25.97bn on August 5 as the central bank stepped up dollar sales to boost liquidity at the interbank market and support the ailing naira. The naira, which touched an all-time low of 365.25 per dollar on August 18 at the official market, has consistently closed around 305.5 in recent weeks. http://investorsking.com/external-reserves-rise-further-now-25-4bn/ 4 Likes 1 Share

The reserves will get better in 2017 since crude oil price is expected to remain steady at above $50 during the year and hopefully, our brothers from the Niger Delta region will stop the needless attacks on oil facilities. 11 Likes |

I am learning to ignore some trolls and dull posters on this forum. I hope I can sustain it. Imagine some people already belly-aching at the prospect of the current administration getting us back to where we were four years ago; forgetting or deliberately ignoring the facts of the unparalleled damage done to our economy by their thieving heroes who later sponsored militants to frustrate government's efforts to save the battered economy. They're equally pretending not to know that our major forex earners suffered a huge tumble such that we have been unable to earn a third of what their thieving uncles earned and looted. They shall be shamed soon. 19 Likes 5 Shares |
