Does Nigeria Have A Junk Currency? by 4Play(m): 10:10pm On Jul 18, 2016 |
Nigeria "is caught in a macro hurricane," famed short seller James Chanos told the annual Sohn Investment Conference last week. With currency reserves running low, the country could have "a big problem" within a few years, he said. Calling the country "a borderline failed state," Chanos added that he was shorting South African assets, in part because of their exposure to Nigeria.Source:http://www.afripol.org/afripol/item/1845-the-currency-naira-is-junk--professor-hanke-of-johns-hopkins-university.html?tmpl=component&print=1 I don't share Steve Hanke's pessimism - but of course, I may be biased because I am a Nigerian. The main worry is whether the actual level of foreign reserves held by the CBN is lower than the official data suggests. If it is and oil prices don't rally anytime soon, expect more pain in the immediate future. 1 Like |

Op you want make I confirm? Yes it is. With almost all goods and services doubling in their prices, rising unemployment, near zero budget implementation, rising number of litigations involving govt, poor economic policies, incompetent management, high profile and coded corruption, etc, it is a junk currency. |
