Debt is growing at more than double the rate of the reserves.

So typical of this deceptive government.

I hope people realize that this is how to grow a country and enrich its people. By making the economy strong. Not by sharing money during elections. But I'm sure some will disagree.
Well said!

Your foriegn reserve is increasing so also you have a record never been attained debt profile. Whats there to be jubilant about? that we are plunged into more poverty or debt? whats the use of having a Father with millions in his account yet all your children are starving, either way we are at a stand still. Yes every country have to borrow, whats important is where you spend.m the money? where is Buhari did Buhari spend 11trillion he has so far borrowed? You are blaming PDP but fact is the PDP only borrowed in total 6trillion, this demonic poverty creating APC have so far borrowed close to 12trillion. Question is where exactly can yhey say they have spent that money on?

Can we know how much they have borrowed within their 3years in power? And can they publish what they did with the huge amounts? That will balance this report. Don't only tell us how much in the reserve, also tell us how much you people have borrowed.
Very good point and good demand.

PMB is determined to build Nigeria. We only need to be patient and watch him make us proud.

Imagine what a president who could add over $23bn to the reserves in less than three years despite a significantly diminished earnings will achieve with surplus income!

PMB is the best president we've had since 1999.

You are the most ignorant & gullible person I have ever noticed. You don't have to display such ignorance on technical matter in public. You mentioned trillions to seek sympathy of fellow ignorant & gullible Nigerians. You forgot PDP took $1 billion loan in 2015 few weeks to election. How you come about 12 trillion debt under PMB & 6 trillion under PDP I don't know.

PDP spent the $50 billion left by OBJ in 2007 leaving only little above $25billion as at May 29 2015. All the oil sold for many years despite oil selling up to $140 / barel was spent, no saving. They ended up borrowing heavily. What economic analysis or mathematical equation can you use to compare the two scenarios.

Oil was $45 / barel when OBJ negotiated debt cancellation.

The naira remains stable at the official and parallel markets, with the foreign exchange (forex) reserves standing at $46.7billion, a report by Exotic Capital, an investment and research firm, has said.

The naira exchanges at 362 to the dollar in the parallel market and 305.6 in the official market. It has remained at those rates since April, last year, after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) resumed forex interventions in the market.

The report said although the level of reserves was still below the record high of $64 billion realised in August 2008, it is nearly double the $24 billion recorded in October 2016, increasing by more than $22 billion in 15 months.

The reserves hit $46.7 billion on March 29, from just over $23 billion in October 2016, as the economy continues to attract huge investment inflows from foreign investors.


The economy benefited from increased forex supply with over $20 billion inflow to the Investors’ & Exporters’ (I&E) Forex Window since inception in April 2017.

The report said the macro fundamentals suggested the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN’s) appropriate reaction function would have been to hold rates unchanged as it did in last week’s Monetary Policy Committee MPC meeting.

“We have written extensively on Nigeria’s multiple exchange rate system and will abstain from further discussion at present, suffice to say that a fairly valued naira at 360 to the dollar combined with high domestic rates has led to a tremendous increase in the level of gross foreign reserves held at the CBN,” the report said, adding:

”With reserves at their current levels, it is easy to imagine the MPC being in a position where it could afford to cut as it is less dependent on attracting dollar inflows than it has been to both build reserves and stabilise the naira.”

A similar report by FBN Capital, titled: “Towards the $50 billion threshold, and counting”, said the rapid accumulation of $15.96 billion over 12 months was due to two sizeable Eurobond launches, a small diaspora bond issue, the recovery in oil export revenues (through the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation’s share of production and, more recently, the steady bid by the CBN at the I&E Forex window.

“We should stress that the data are gross and mask the swap transactions the CBN has entered into with local banks. The steady bid by the CBN has been seen variously as a response to the softening of demand for forex by importers and other economic actors, and as a move to contain naira appreciation,” the FBN Capital said, adding:


“The CBN will be pleased with the healthy signals from I&E Forex window where the weekly average has now settled above $1 billion. Reserves at end-March covered 17 months’ merchandise imports, and 10.9 months when we add services. These calculations are based on the balance of payments for 2017. The ratios are a little less impressive, but still robust, if we use the measure of current account payments (including income debits) favoured by the ratings agencies.”

Before the stability in the forex market and naira, the economy witnessed a depressed Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, which culminated in a recession in 2016. There was also rising inflation, which peaked at almost 19 per cent in January 2017 and a persistently rising unemployment rate to 14.23 per cent in 2016 fourth quarter from 6.41 per cent as at 2014 fourth quarter. There was also a significant depreciation of the exchange rate, reaching N525 to $1 in February 2017 and witnessed a fast depletion of the reserves which bottomed out at about $23.6 billion in October 2016 from as high as $40 billion in January 2014.

We do need 46 billion dollars as foreign reserve.

We need :

Good roads.
Oil refineries.
Power Plants.
Portable water supply.
Improved healthcare facilities.
Massive investment in agriculture.

Typical Nigerian mentality.

Always thinking they deserve everything on a platter with top and ribbon.

Why must government always start up something?
Why don't we have forward thinking people?

Nigerians rely on the government for everything.
I didnt say government should help youths startup anything, I said govt should make policies that will encourage more youths to startup legal online business.

One of such policies include: creating internet startup hubs in major Nigerian cities where youths can go to have access to subsidized internet access and also network with fellow like-minded youths.

Creating tech centers with well trained team where youths can be trained in high tech skills they can use to start up their own tech or internet business.

These are some of the things the government can do to encourage online business growth among Nigerian youths and in few years to come, Nigeria will become a major tech hub of the world exporting tech skills and products.

Next time before u attack someone online, look at who and check that person's background because you maybe attacking the wrong person cos not everybody u see on nairaland is operating at your speed, have a great weekend.

In quantity not quality (productivity). Japan and S.Korea have their currencies' value below the dollar and they are among the top 20 economies globally. Yet some Nigerians believe the naira should be equal to the dollar. What do we produce apart from oil (whose price we don't control) that makes you believe the naira can/should be equal to the dollar?

Last I checked, Japanese and Koreans are not fleeing their countries.

So, you think you're equal to the USA and should live on credit?
