Nigeria will not hesitate to slap its largest telecommunications company MTN with an additional fine if it fails to pay the $3.9 billion due by Dec. 31. The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had imposed an initial $5.2 billion fine on Johannesburg, South Africa-headquartered MTN, for failing to meet a deadline to disconnect 5.1 million unregistered subscribers. The fine was later cut by 25 percent to $3.9 billion and a deadline of Dec. 31 was given for the payment. But MTN had sought relief in court with the belief that “there are valid grounds upon which to challenge the fine”. The court move notwithstanding, the Nigerian government says it expects MTN to pay the fine by Dec. 31 or risk more fines....

The Nigerian naira slumped to record low on Thursday, Dec. 17 after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) directed commercial banks to limit how much customers can spend abroad using their debits cards. Under the new directive, individuals can only spend $100 to $150 abroad daily or $12,000 annually, down from the $50,000 set by the central bank in April and $150,000 before then. The CBN’s intention is to hold the naira’s value but if there is anything the new directive will do, it is discouraging foreigners from investing in the country......

Nigeria has been hit by the fall in global oil prices as oil accounts for over 85 percent of the country’s revenue. Oil prices have fallen to below $40 a barrel from over $115 in June 2014. The country is, therefore, considering issuing international debt early next year to stimulate the economy as President Muhammadu Buhari presents the 2016 budget to lawmakers on Dec. 22. The country plans to borrow 1.84 trillion naira, about two-third of which will be local debt and also boost non-oil revenue by 1.6 trillion naira in 2016. These are expected to make up for the shortfall in oil revenue. Nigeria’s 2016 budget is predicated on an oil price of $38 per barrel but with Iran expected to pump more oil next year and the United States lifting a 40-year ban on exports, prices may not recover in 2016 and oil may well sell below Nigeria’s benchmark price.....
