PoliticsRe: Ezekwesili Replies Sanusi On $45bn Reserves by Udpconcept(m): 9:15pm On Mar 08, 2013

author=naijaguy77]This is Economic Illiteracy at the highest level. I
used hold Madam Ezekwesili in high regard until this issue.

The foreign reserve is the foreign currency we get when we export our
goods or services. Since we cannot spend dollars in Nigeria, we print
the Naira equivalent of the dollar and spend i.e. If Mr Okoro exports
cassava to USA, he earns $$s, he can't pay his farmers in $$s, nor can
he buy other goods and services, so he takes his dollars to the bank
(cbn), they print the naira equivalent and give to him, cbn collects the
dollars and keeps in the Forex Reserve. 2 weeks later, Mr Okoro wants
to import machinery for his business, he has naira but needs $$s, he
takes his naira to cbn, who then exchange it and give him $$ equivalent
taken from our Forex Reserve.

Anytime you pop champagne in a club, invite Kim Kardashian, or buy a
car, you are contributing to the depletion of our Forex Reserve. Anytime
you consume imported goods or services that have to ultimately be paid
for using forex, you are contributing to the depletion of the Forex
Reserve. It is that simple.

The Forex Reserve is not such a big deal, it is just a mechanism/tool
used by the CBN for stabilising the local currency. So is it correct to
accuse the FG of squandering the Forex Reserve? NO. Anyone who makes
such an accusation is more or less an economic illiterate. The following
can easily lead to the depletion of Forex Reserve:

1) Increase in consumption of Foreign Goods and Services. E.g. Cars,
Food, Foreign Education, Machinery, Expatriate worker demand, or Kim
Kadashian.

2) Decrease in value of export. E.g. Fall in oil prices.

3) Increase in the value of the Naira against the Forex Reserve
currency.

4) A combination of some or all of the above.

The following points above mean that, NO matter how PRUDENT the FG is,
the forex reserve can still be depleted by the lack of productivity of
the economy, or the profligacy and foreign taste of the citizens. It is
therefore very silly to accuse the FG of squandering the Forex Reserve.

Does FG also contribute to depletion of FR? YES, but nothing on the
scale of other consumers in the economy. The FG would need forex just
like other stakeholders in the economy, and their need, relatively
speaking, is certainly not huge as the rest of the country combined.
Ironically, it is the FG, through oil export earnings by NNPC and Oil
companies, that is the largest contributor to the Forex Reserve.

Economic Illiteracy can make you look stupid, it certain has done so the
Madam Ezekwesili.
