Help me ask. They are increasing taxes which is affecting prices and they think increasing interests rates will bring down prices

As long as he's still using that stupid exchange rate, this move is likely not going to work.

I don't believe raising interest rates by CBN will curb inflation. Emefiele should deal with multiple forex exchange rate regimes and curb massive roundtripping. That is the main problem. On the fiscal side, solve crude theft and significantly raise oil revenue then watch the Naira stabilise and cost of living start to reduce.

It definitely will not raise the value of the Naira. The Naira's case is matter of DD and SS and lack of confidence in the economy. The government has to generate the confidence in the economy before capital flight can stop. Higher DD than SS will create scarcity anyday.


Irresponsible lot! CBN inclusive of the government.

El oh el. As if this is a proper economy in which commercial banks and the real sector are joined at the hips and interest rates matter. There are a few things the CBN can do to help our present situation, but raising interest rates isn't one of them.

when a central bank raise interest rate.
your normal bank will also respond by raising their own interest rate.

with higher interest rate, people will tend to spend less and demand for goods and services will also drop, which will cause inflation to fall.

When demand is low, most companies won't raise their prices in order to stay competitive. since prices of goods and services aren't increasing that fast, you've managed to reduce inflation.



this is how CBN raising interest rates is meant to curb inflation.
but na Naija we dey, our own economics dey always different so make we dey see.

If the interest rates cascade down and banks pay appreciable amount of interest on the savings, it might help the Naira to reduce outflow in dollars. People are saving their wealth in other currencies and the dollar is the gateway.

I have been saying this since the day he was appointed. Case in point before he stopped supplying forex to the bureau de exchange Naira black market rate was at 495 while the official exchange window was at 421 after he stopped the bureau de exchange supply of Forex, the Naira black market has risen to 705 while the official exchange window has risen to 431. The man created this artificial inflation and to combat this what has he proposed an increase in interest rate. The man is clueless how he managed to be CBN head is beyond comprehension. Question how many people are impacted by the interest rate in Nigeria as compared to the Naira exchange rate?

2022 Inflation is a global phenomenon. Canada's inflation rate got to the highest in almost 40 years, likewise U.S and U.k

The Central banks are combating inflation with increased interest rate achieving little success. No thanks to the Russia vs Ukraine war.

Yes. Your savings accounts earn interest at 30% of MPR.
However, borrowers will also pay more interest.
Fixed income investments will earn higher interests.
But equity investors will experience a bearish trend.

Buhari and emefiele caused the excess liquidity by printing 19.8 trillion naira to support govt deficit budget. Now he is raising interest rates to check excess liquidity but at the same time will print trillions of naira to support govt 11trillion 2022/ 2023 budget deficit. Take note industrial output fell by 34% and imports in dollar term fell by 39% i.e less goods being chased by trillions of naira printed equals more inflation.

Funny how they think mopping up liquidity will reduce inflation in a non-producing and
import dependent economy. This will only strangulate the few non-bouyant indigenous companies left, it will simply increase the cost of production, trigger mass retrenchment and downsizing of workers and workforce.

These companies are usually always indebted to banks, an increase in interest rate heavily affects the cost of production, manufacturing and doing business in general.

Savings and Lending interest will go up. Interest rate on lending is usually higher than savings. That means you earn more on your savings and also pay even much more on your borrowing.

How does increasing the interest rate stop importation of refined petroleum products?
The last time I checked, that's the major reason for free fall of Naira.
Increasing the interest rate will only increase woes of the common man.

ok. Thanks. Savings interest rates don't always work. It's only when you want to take a loan that they implement it
