Nigeria Economy: No Longer At Ease.

“Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold…”
                                (The Second Coming, 1919) W.B Yeats .

The present state of the Nigerian economy is a very worrying state, with oil prices taking a downward spiral in fact the benchmark has been rubbished, the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) not cutting output as well as the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) Monetary Policy Committee’s decision to devalue the Naira and the imminent deficit budget.

How did we end up in this mess?
One central cause is the decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to devalue the Naira late last year as part of palliative measures taken by its Monetary Policy Committee to stabilize the Nigerian economy. As a catalyst, the exchange rate of Naira to Dollar rose and remains on a high. At the same time, our oil revenue has dwindled as we have been using our reserves to keep the Naira stable.
While the Central Bank stepped in last year to send the Naira to its biggest one-day gain in three years, this ‘intervention’ in the market has reduced foreign reserves to a four month low of $37.8 billion, so we spent all the reserves trying to save our economy from an imminent downturn, and we didn't maximize savings while the oil price was high.
As if this is not enough; oil, which is our major and arguably only source of revenue, started nose diving due to lack of demand. The oil price has dropped by more than 55%; as at June last year, it was sold for $115 per barrel, but is now sold for $47 in the main market (Bloomberg.com), and $45 in the black market (Economist.com).              

What caused this?
Firstly, oil prices are determined by supply and demand just like any other commodity. They are affected by changing economic activities as well as by decisions made by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Experts believe that a growing switch from oil to other fuels, the turmoil in Iraq and Libya (which are major oil-producing Nations); and more importantly, America which used to be a major consumer becoming the world’s largest oil producer with more than 20,000 new oil wells since 2010, ten times more than Saudi Arabia’s tally (Economist.com); has contributed to the drop in oil prices. America’s recent rise in the oil business has been made possible by “frackling shale formations”, which is basically a mixture of water, sand and some chemicals injected into shale formations ‘rocks’ to release oil. It is a relatively new technology, and is also reportedly being secretly replicated in China and the Czech Republic.

How does this affect the common man?
Since the oil price is low, our external reserves are also low, Naira has been devalued, exchange rate for dollars is on a high, which means if you earn in Naira and incur costs in Dollars, then you are in for a very rough time. The Central Bank of Nigeria has taken several steps in stabilizing the economy, notably through increasing the percentage of Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) for the private sector deposit from 15%-20%  and Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) from 12%-13% . This move is expected to help regulate inflationary rise. Also certain austerity measures as mentioned by Minister of Finance will be taken; top on that list is paying tax for luxury goods and reduction in public expenditures (Economist.com). Aside this; if you like travelling and shopping abroad, or you have children in foreign schools or you import goods these are hard days as cost of doing all this just got expensive.

What is the way forward?
To ensure the situation does not get any worse than it currently is, the federal government should judiciously cut its expensive lifestyle and be more prudent with managing oil revenue. We must take drastic measures to find other means to internally generate revenue (aside crude oil) and diversify our economy. Encouraging indigenous manufacturers by implementing suitable laws, we have to stop being an import dependent economy; we export (Crude oil) raw materials and import refined Crude oil such as petrol, kerosene, jet fuel etc? In some quarters that’s gross foolishness, we have 4 (four) unused oil refineries, we expend natural gas and leave them untapped, solving all this issues would be a step in the right direction in this import eroded economy.
