Inflation is around 33% while costs of goods have risen over 250%

Nigeria economy defeats even the best economic policy/principles.

The problem cant be solved using inflation rate or reducing the amount of money in circulation.

The fundamental issues to be addressed are insecurity, energy costs and stable exchange rate.

This means if you are to get a short-term loan for your business from any commercial bank they would charge an average of 36% percent per Annum. this would kill your business because if you add labour costs, Nepa / generator, marketing, logistics, commission to get the job, and other local and government taxes, it would be hard to stay in business.
Yes, it'll certainly be very bad for businesses that are servicing existing loans.

Will food stuff



Reduced


?
No, not likely. None of the factors that should make food prices go down have been addressed. This announcement will only help bring in FPI, and even if that results in more dollar liquidity and some appreciation in the value of the naira, recent events tell us that will not lead to a significant reduction in food prices.

Increasing MPR will actually make inflation worse by increasing cost of borrowing for businesses. Right now,inflation in Nigeria is caused by insecurity and the high,unstable exchange rate of the naira
This take is correct, in my view.

Correct. Fundamental issues have to be addressed. No short cuts.

Nobody will get their act together. Soldiers are stupid, tribes are stupid, police are stupid, politicians are laughing all the way to the bank because they know our biggest curse is the multitude of tribes we have in this country and the selfishness that clouds our mind.

You talk bad about the situation, yoruba man will attack you because it is their tribal man in charge of the country, igbo do the same thing. The problem is there, we leave it and fight ourselves, causing more problems

Well, it's sad. But some societies have overcome similar problems. All it take is elite consensus. That's what we don't have at the moment.

Patchy patchy policies.. how do you keep increasing interest rate when unemployment is at an all time high.. food security zero, power zero, insecurity high. raising interest rate simply means cost of production will increase and this will drive up price of goods and services.. creating more harsh economic conditions. How did we even get here as a country 😔

What society with all this tribes that succeed in doing that?

The UK, US and Canadian is becoming problematic as they get more culture. The tribalism in Nigeria is too much, couple that with greed and selfishness.

If Biafra is created today, you will have another issue and new movement to create not briafa as a different country from South Biafra.
Re: CBN Raises Interest Rate To 26.25 % Amid Soaring Inflation Levels by Treadway: 3:56pm On May 21
Lol.

This is getting interestico.

When cost of capital now stands at 27%, meaning lenders will charge between 32-35%, SMEs which are the productive sector don begin dey die be that na. When cost of capital alone has taken 35%, and other costs never even enter...meaning they either go public to raise equity, raise prices and pass the costs over to their goods/services, or just leave the game. Based on history, we can safely narrow it down to the last two options.

Nigeria, the conundrum.🤣🤣🤣

Why can't they increase it by 1000% so that people will be discourage from lending. I don't expect much from Tinubu government. You can't give what you don't have

FREE money for FPIs. They will flood in now that $ is nearly at 1500. Their inflows will lead to artificial appreciation of the naira to about 1200. Then they'll exit. Thus making a killing on currency differential + 26.25% ROI. Happy days!

YOU CAN'T RIG INTERNATIONAL FINANCE.

Give Nigerians power supply. Give them security to boost agriculture, trade and tourism. Cut down on wasteful government spending. Enforce rule of law no matter whose horse is gored. Allow free, fair and transparent elections..... then sit back and watch foreign investors flood in as the country prospers. It's really that simple.
You said it well, but you missed the most important thing, Corruption. Without the death penalty strictly enforced for corruption and bribes, Nigeria not going anywhere no matter how beautiful the polices are.

This is completely unacceptable and doesn't augur well with the failing fiscal and financial position of the economy boldly marked with increasing inflation.

As a macro economic student.... It will help slow down the inflation as money will be sucked from the system.

It's a contractionary monetary policy that makes less money available for borrowers and people will rather safe there funds than spend it as it guarantees more interest.

But the downside is it slows down investments

It's a good step, but Nigeria should stop the importation of refined petroleum products by July too, its percentage of forex it needs can be up to 65% , that is the major forex drainer.

The CBN is effectively slowing down economic activities.

Banks will raise their interest rates and scare businesses away. This will create further scarcity of goods and high cost of available ones since businesses and industries can't expand their productions.
