Re: Nigeria Now Has The Largest Foreign Reserve In Africa by KratosCorp: 10:13am On May 13, 2018
What is Nigeria's current debt profile?

How much is left when that is deducted from what you have in FR?

Why are you hiding the complete picture?



NASTYNASOSO:
Nigeria now has the largest foreign reserve in Africa


Nigeria is leading three major African countries in foreign reserves as at Monday, May 7, 2018, as the country's gross earnings hit $47.80 billion, according to data seen by Business Insider Sub-Saharan African from the nation's central bank.


Nigeria, which recently emerged from its worst economic recession in over 25 years with less than $21 billion in foreign reserves, has built up its reserves massively over one and half years to become largest in Africa by beating South Africa, Ghana, and Kenya in external reserves with total net reserves of $47,804,549,761.


External reserves of major African countries

Ghana's reserves declined to $6.9 billion in April 2018

Kenyan forex reserves close to the double-digit as at April 2018 at $9.50 billion

South Africa’s reserves at $43.115 billion in April 2018

You sound like foreign reserve is an achievement ...I will rather we dwell on the 13 million jobs lost so far and how Buharis govt has the largest unemployment deficit in Africa today ... A country lacking in Human Development index , security and infrastructure like Nigeria currently is has no business boasting about Foreign reserve just like a father who can't provide shelter food and clothes for his children has no business boasting about having savings ... Let wake up from such mediocrity please because Buhari must go
It's15 million NEW jobs in Agriculture. All the 13 million so called unemployed have moved into Agric value chain jobs and light manufacturing

Very miopic analysis! So if you borrow N50m from Gtbank and deposit it in Zenith Bank you have now become richer than your neighbour who has N5m in Zenith Bank without debt!

Go and check how much Buhari regime have borrowed and our current indebtedness. When you do, net it off the "reserve", then come and post your result and compare with rest of Africa.

Ur hero is a thief.
I never knew Obj could b used to reference the shortfall of any administration cos he was not given same listening ear wen he started doing same to this administration instead he was called names without even looking at his claims.

Talking of borrowing from 2007 to 2015 and 2015 till date, wen did Nigeria borrow the most?
Even with nothing to show for it.

Talking of Hero's, I have none as far as Nigerian politicians past n present are concerned.
I'm jus judging based on performance as felt by the citizens not on pages of paper which are atimes skewed.

N so u know Buhari is worse, as he never knows anything..

Of course the borrowing will be higher since 2015 coz there was nothing to fall back to.
GEJ should have handed over the economy (Healthy Reserves and real cash in ECA) as he met it. The real question u should be asking is why wasn't the Foreign Reserves shored up in the period of high crude earnings and unprecedented 2.2mbd?
Other oil nations shored up their reserves to take care of imports without devaluating their currency (if possible) till oil prices stabilize.
Instead ur hero depleted our reserves, squandered the ECA and handed over a rundown economy and u have been looking for a miracle

On the economy I score PMB 100%

GEJ & NOI
*** Inherited $50+ billion in External reserves
*** Inherited $ 22 billion in Excess Crude Account
*** Inherited a robust economy with the States Governments paying salaries.
*** Inherited Crude prices at $110/barrel and 2.2mbp
*** Inherited a stable exchange rate

PMB & Kemi
*** Inherited $29+ billion in External reserves sad
*** Inherited less than $2 billion in Excess Crude Account :[ (NOI claimed Amaechi refused for her to save another foolish claim)
*** Inherited a dwindling economy with the 28 States Governments unable to pay salaries needing FG bailout
*** Inherited Crude prices at $40/barrel and 1.4mbp (no thanks to the avengers)
*** Inherited a exchange rate that had been devalued on three occasions and black market rate disparity far higher than official rate.


Today the exchange rate has been stable for close to 10months, foreign Reserves is in a 10year high.
God bless you for this analysis, the Yuan exchange rate is starting by June.
70 % of Nigeria's import is from China, the dollar induced inflation is about to give way.
The CBN Governor said $50 billion, is the threshold, as the reserve is getting FAT and Yuan taking care of most of our importations needs.
Dollar is likely to go below #300 by December.
God bless Buhari and the economic team.
Nigeria shall be great again.

Buhari said he is going to make $1=#1 and you all cheered him and voted for him.. now he is taking the steps to fulfill his promise you are all here crying like a baby. Do you think he will just cast some spells and make things better? No. We will all suffer for it at first and that’s what we are doing now. No loss no gain.
