News Highlight – Public Sector
FAAC disbursements pick up in June
Last week, the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) announced that it distributed the sum of
N518.6bn (US$2.6bn) to the three tiers of government for the month of June. The sum shared for June was
26.7% higher than N409.4bn (US$2.0bn) distributed for May, but 6.0% lower than the median disbursements
for the last twelve months.
While FAAC did not provide an explanation for the surge in disbursements in June, our sense is that these
incremental revenues may have accrued from an increase in volume of crude oil sold by the government.
Latest data from the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) monthly report (based on
direct communication from the producing countries) indicates that Nigeria’s crude oil production averaged
1.9m barrels per day (b/d) in May, the highest average monthly production reported since the beginning of the
year. Crude oil prices were fairly stable at US$55-60 per barrel in May.
We believe that the improvement in volumes may have been helped by reduced cases of crude oil theft and
pipeline vandalism. The government has recently intensified efforts to boost security around petroleum
transportation pipelines as it seeks to enhance crude volumes in the face of weak oil prices.
