Top Highlight
MPC meeting- Calm for now, but we expect action soon after elections
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) concluded its regular two-day meeting yesterday with a unanimous
vote to retain the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) at 13.0%, the Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) on private sector deposits at 20.0%, the CRR on
public sector deposits at 75.0%, and to retain banks’ mandatory liquidity ratios at 30.0%.
In other words, no change, just as we (see CSL, Nigerian Monetary Policy Committee Preview, the FX conundrum, 23 Mar 2015), and
doubtless the rest of the market, expected. National banks tend not to make dramatic changes just before elections (general elections are due on
28 March and 11 April). A fair proportion of the communiqué was taken up with the recent rise in inflation from 8.2% y/y in January to 8.4% y/y
in February.
This is an interesting stance in view of the fact that gross foreign exchange reserves have fallen from US$34.47bn at the beginning of the year to
US$29.92bn currently (as reported by Bloomberg), and have fallen by US$2.52bn since the CBN made a significant administrative adjustment –
the withdrawal of its retail of the retail dutch auction system (RDAS) – on 18 February. (FX reserves were US$37.88bn a year ago.)
Post-elections, we believe the CBN will be more outspoken than before in managing currency expectations. Depending on the
state of security, politics and capital flows at that time we expect the CBN either to stick to the current naira rate (today
N199.0/US$1.0) or to choose a new rate to defend, using interest rates and further administrative tools as necessary. Our base
case is an exchange rate of N220.0/US$1.0 to emerge in H1 2015.

FG’s revenue hits N711 billion (US$3.6bn) in January: Nigeria’s estimated federally collected revenue stood at N710.78 billion as at January
2015, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has revealed. According to the central bank’s economic report for January 2015 obtained from its website,
the amount generated by the federal government was above the receipts in the preceding month as well as the the corresponding period of 2014,by
4.6 and 4.3 per cent, respectively. The increase relative to receipts in the preceding month was due to the respective increase of 3.9 and 6.2 per
cent in gross oil and non-oil revenue during the review period. Source: thisdaylive.com
