Oyetunji Abioye The nation’s external reserves, also known foreign exchange reserves, rose by 50 per cent in the last one year to hit $38.73bn on December 28, 2017, the Central Bank of Nigeria data showed on Sunday. This means that the foreign reserves gained $12.9bn between December 2016 and December 2017. Between January and October 2017, the reserves rose by $8bn, indicating a 30.9 per cent increase when it recorded $33.83bn on October 31. The CBN latest statistic showed that as of December 22, 2017, the Nigeria’s foreign reserves stood at $37.92bn. Relative stability in the Niger Delta, uptick in the global oil prices, improvement in Diaspora remittances and establishment of the Investors and Exporters Foreign Exchange Window by the CBN in April 2017 have led to significant growth in the country’s external reserves especially in the second half of the year. The breakdown of the latest figure showed that the reserves gained $3.8bn in almost one month, rising from $34.9bn on November 30, 2017 to $38.7bn on December 28, 2017. This means the external reserves have risen by about 10 per cent in one month. The foreign exchange reserves had reached $23.6bn low in October 2016, from $40bn high in January 2014. In September 2008, the country’s foreign exchange reserves hit $62bn, with the Federal Government spending $12bn to settle external debts. In his remarks on the nation’s external reserves, the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, had in November, said, “It is my belief that if we remain resolute with our efforts, policies and actions, we can attain a foreign exchange reserves position of about $40bn by end of 2018.” Emefiele had in December disclosed that the nation’s foreign reserves rose to $38.2bn with the issuance of Eurobonds by the Federal Government. He regarded the external reserves figure as the highest in 39 months. In November, the Federal Government raised $3bn through Eurobonds, which was oversubscribed by about $11bn and split across 10-year and 30-year tranches at issuance yield of 6.5 per cent and 7.625 per cent, respectively. The CBN spokesman, Mr. Isaac Okorafor, had said that the increase in foreign reserves could be attributable to peace in the Niger Delta. Okorafor added that with the sustained forex interventions by the central bank, the apex bank had pushed forex demand from the parallel market into the formal regulated market. http://punchng.com/external-reserves-hit-38-7bn-rise-by-50-in-one-year/amp/?__twitter_impression=true 8 Likes 1 Share |

Mynd44: Is this your response sensible? Just a question not an insult? $40bn projected (Prediction/estimate) $39bn achieved. Is that not within margin of error in estimation? 111 Likes 7 Shares |

What's the point if a man grows his savings by #1,000 but ends up borrowing #3,000. Worse part of it all is the fact the saving gives next to zero interest while the debt has a significant interest accruing. If I go further now, the synchronized zombies may come after me, so I rest my case. [Modified] Optimum foreign reserve level is what can cover for 3-6 months of forex exchange needs. At less than $2B/month of forex demand, Nigeria can run smoothly with $24B of Foreign exchange and have $16B to pay for much needed foreign services like infrastructure. Read it up on thebalance.com or other reputable sources and stop parading half knowledge in public. Cc: obailala, deenee, praktikals, martineverest, usba, adminisher, gavelslam. 47 Likes 4 Shares |

Desyner: I am sorry to say most of you don't have critical analysis skills. A lot of people will take a mortgage to buy a house in essence borrowing beyond their immediate capacity to pay, hence loans are take to undertake purchase that are usually beyond your capacity to pay in one sitting but will be paid when spread over a period of time. Nigeria wouldn't need to borrow if Jonathan had saved his 56% portion of the ECA. 70 Likes 5 Shares |
