Past CBN Governors Used Unorthodox Methods To Grow Nigeria’s Economy – Cardoso by bennybuhari: 8:55pm On Oct 29

Olayemi Cardoso, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Tuesday says his predecessor, Godwin Emefiele used a whole lot of unorthodox methods to grow Nigeria’s economy.

Cardoso, who was appointed CBN governor by President Bola Tinubu in September 2023 made the remarks during his keynote interview at the ongoing Financial Times Africa Summit tagged ‘Driving Sustainable Growth Across Africa’ in London, United Kingdom.

While identifying investor confidence as a major challenge he faced when he assumed office, Cardoso said the CBN under his leadership will use orthodox methods and will do everything it takes to manage inflation.

“Really and truly, what had happened is that a whole host of different, unorthodox methods were used to grow the economy. My own view is to use orthodox policies to manage the macro economy”.

“We’ve had cause to collectively raise interest rate five times, collectively 850 basis points. Quite frankly, our view is that it is critical that we manage inflation and we are prepared to use whatever tool that we have at our disposal to do that. We will do whatever it takes to achieve that”.

When asked whether Nigerians understand the policies being implemented, Cardoso says: “No, they don’t. I think that is one of the biggest challenges, and that is why I am at a forum like this.”

During his screening and confirmation as the CBN governor by the Senate last year, Cardoso informed the lawmakers that he will abandon some of Emefiele’s policies.

That's very very unfortunate

It is only pathetic APC regime that can do this rubbish

This guy is talking about orthodox and unthordox when, naira keeps on plunging into the abyss, inflation is tipping towards hyperinflation and the purchasing power of citizens have been effectively destroyed by clumsy policies of free market pure capitalism supervised by kakistokratic kleptomaniacs under an atmosphere of corruption.

Majority of masses pockets are drying up because of your clumsy policies.

In a bid to bridge the gap between official FX and parallel rate, prices of goods and services keeps flying up, recently your boss increase petrol price again. You don't leave your currency for speculators to feast on. Making a living off this menance has damaged the currency. Maybe it's time to review your policies.

If you guys don't have the knowledge of how to handle the economy effectively, productively and sustainably mellow down, humble yourselves and go beg the PDP predecessors for wise counsel. Ask Prof Soludo how he managed your CBN during his time.

Though the nature/kind of challenges faced in the past are quite different compared to the present. Different times, factors, realities.

This man is advocating for naira to be further devalued:

X@lekansote1, lekansote.com

Bloomberg ranks the naira among the world’s 10 weakest currencies, three of which –Zambian kwacha, Angolan kwanza, and Nigeria’s naira– are from Africa. Their weakness is attributed to unstable commodity prices, inflationary pressures, and lack of dollar liquidity, a point of view that enables Euro-American metropolitan economies to prey on Third World economies.

But the weak naira needn’t be a disadvantage if President Bola Tinubu’s economic managers can flip things around, and take advantage of economies of large-scale production by getting the real sector, especially, to produce, for export, goods for which Nigeria has a comparative advantage. Investment banker, Dr. Nnaemeka Obiaraeri, says Nigeria has no currency problem but lacks productivity.

After the Naira gains strength from the accumulated foreign reserve therefrom, it should be further devalued– to maintain the weak regime that should earn even more convertible currency to finance the importation, and acquisition of more infrastructural and industrial production capacity that will eventually strengthen the naira.

But strengthening the naira will not be the only intent of this strategy, but is to reverse the current import-oriented trend of the Nigerian economy and tap the ready market for Nigeria’s manufactures in richer economies.

Nigeria’s fiscal, monetary, and macroeconomic policymakers should consider this unorthodox opportunity to strengthen Nigeria’s economy which is suffering from inappropriate economic policies that are imposed by Breton Woods institutions on an unwary political class.

If all this works, all CBN Governor Cardoso needs to do is to keep looking for creative ways to devalue the naira further, which will be getting stronger, to make Nigeria’s farm produce and industrial manufactures affordable for consumers in foreign countries with stronger currencies.

Yep, we were

1. Massive borrowing to defend the naira , pay for subsides, etc...(which Cardoso continues, by the way, so he ain't innocent)

2. Printing and more printing of money (which Cardoso's boss once advocated actively).

3. Not diversifying the economy (which APC Has not done since 2015, despite the flowery speeches given)

4. Multiple exchange rates...which ended only because the money to pay for it had literally run out since 2022, not because APC wanted to stop it.
