MDAs directed to close revenue accounts with banks
Yesterday, the Punch Newspaper reported that the Federal Government (FG) has directed all its ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to close their
revenue accounts with deposit money banks (DMBs). It also directed the MDAs to transfer the balances from the closed revenue accounts to a consolidated
revenue fund of the FG. MDAs have been given a deadline of February 28 to transfer these funds. This move, according to the FG, is targeted at installing a new
regime of centralised, transparent and accountable internally generated revenue management system.
The FG has been making attempts since 2012 to operate a Treasury Single Account (TSA). We view the introduction of a deadline as a prudent measure by the
FG to monitor all cash flows, considering that government revenues are fast declining due to oil prices.
The modalities of operation still remain unclear. In our view however, we believe the banks may still act as collectors of these funds under a new account operated
and run by the CBN. Depending on the frequency of remittance however, banks may lose the float which they previously earned on these funds. We are also of
the view that this may result in an increase in cost of funds, as banks begin to scamper for private sector deposits to make up for the lost funds. Some DMBs have
already been making concerted efforts to reduce dependence on public sector funds after the Central Bank of Nigeria hiked the public sector cash reserve ratio
(CRR) to 75% in January 2014.
As of October 2014, government deposits represented 19% (N2.4trn, US$12.3bn) of total banks' deposits.

CBN to review banks’ dollar position: The Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, on Wednesday said the central bank would
review the amount banks could hold in dollars as their trading positions in the foreign exchange market. Emefiele stated this in a telephone interview
with Bloomberg. He said the CBN had in December stopped banks from holding any amount of their shareholders’ funds in dollars to curb
speculative attack on the naira. The CBN governor, however, said the measure was only a stop-gap action to stabilise the naira. Source: punchng.com

External reserves rise marginally to US$34.5bn: The Federal Government on Wednesday described as untrue claims by former President
Olusegun Obasanjo that the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan had squandered the nation’s foreign reserves. The Federal Ministry of
Finance, in a statement in Abuja, said there was never a time the reserves rose to US$67bn as alleged by Obasanjo. It said that the reserves were,
among others, used to settle foreign currency obligations, including the importation of equipment for the power sector. Source: thisdaylive.com
