Currency Deal With China: Things To Know by NgeneUkwenu(f): 8:53am On Apr 14, 2016 |
Currency Deal With China To Crash The Dollar By 70% ! President Buhari doesn't have "certificate" but he sure knows how to make things happen and do what some heroes with unproven Ph.D. can't even dream of... 1. As President Buhari and CBN Governor, Emefiele moved closer to actualizing their promise to strengthen the naira against the US dollars 2. By signing a landmark currency deal with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd on Tuesday in Beijing, China. 3. The agreement will allow Nigerian who imports mainly from China conclude their transactions in the Chinese currency instead of the dollar 4. The new agreement would see Nigeria-China trades, which accounts for over 70 percent of imports into Nigeria, concluded in the Yuan. 5. Until now over 90% of int'l trades between Nigeria & the world is done in dollars, & in the process putting so much pressure on the naira 6. Nigeria imports almost all it needs from the West, Middle East and Asia. 7. The CBN is expected to diversify a huge chunk of Nigeria’s foreign reserve from the dollars to the Yuan to perfect the agreement. 8. “It means that the renminbi (Yuan) is free to flow among diff banks in Nigeria, & the renminbi has been included in the FXR of Nigeria,” 9. FXR means foreign exchange reserves 10. Lin Songtian, director general of the African affairs department of China’s foreign ministry, told reporters in Beijing ... 11. .. a few minutes after the agreement was signed between the Governors of the nations’ reserve banks.. 12. in the presence of President Buhari & President Xi Jingping of China, who is hosting Buhari and top Nigerian officials to a state visit. 13. Lin said a framework on currency swaps has been agreed with Nigeria, making it easier to settle trade deals in Yuan. 14. China has signed currency swap deals with countries ranging from Kazakhstan to Argentina as it promotes wider use of its Yuan. 15. Nigeria would become the clearinghouse for Yuan denominated transactions for the whole of Africa following the agreement. 16. Beijing also signed agreements to develop infrastructure in Nigeria, part of a drive to deepen its ties with Africa. 17. It has offered Nigeria a loan worth $6 billion to fund infrastructure projects. 18. Also, ICBC signed a $2 billion loan deal with Dangote group, to fund two cement plants it plans to build, Lin told Reuters. 19. China’s official Xinhua news agency cited President Xi as telling Buhari that there was huge potential for economic cooperation, naming 20. Naming oil, refining and mining.. 21. Nigeria is also considering issuing Panda bonds (mainly Yuan denominated) as against euro bonds because they are cheaper. This is good, better days are ahead, I'm sooo happy and hopeful right now. Nigeria shall be great again! Miss Ngene 181 Likes 22 Shares

I have no problem with trade deals, but anyone who thinks this will strengthen the naira is confused. The only thing that will strengthen the naira sustainably is if we export more (or if the price of oil recovers). Our honourable president's well intentioned voodoo economics didn't work the last time and won't work this time either. He needs to listen to mainstream economists and follow their recommendations. Economics works. 141 Likes 19 Shares |

Good move but we all should be aware that China regularly devalues their currency in bid to make their export cheaper than the USA and other European producers, that is how they stay at the top. Here is an excerpt from business insiders. ......The stark truth is nobody wants yuan anymore. http://www.businessinsider.com/china-currency-devaluation-just-getting-started-2016-2 I will advise the government to limit forex to be converted to Yuan to around 6-8%, given China's unethical move of always devaluing their currency whenever their economy regresses in order for us not to lose our forex value. 23 Likes 8 Shares |

Seun:If we do more of our importing from China, we will save a lot of strain on our local currency against the dollar by trading directly in the Chinese currency. It is really a matter of demand and supply. Less people need the dollar for less strain. 21 Likes 4 Shares |

Seun: I can see we are on same page with this issue,to me the same thing that happened to the dollar against Naira will also happen to the yuan against Naira soon. Our level of importation has been so high before now and with this development it will aggravate it more,making us more dependent on imported goods which will surely affect our exportation strength. Our local manufacturers will suffer it more except the govt will restrict some items not to be imported. I await CBN approach on this,if it will still be the same old way whereby you have the CBN rate and BLACK MARKET rate for dollars,hope same won't be applicable to the yuan. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Mynd44:It is my understanding that we already import a lot of goods from China (alibaba, etc). Most Chinese exports are priced and paid for in dollars. Some questions for you: 1) What was preventing us from doing more of our importing from China before we decided to borrow billions of dollars from China? 2) How exactly will our borrowing billions of dollars from China cause us to suddenly start doing more of our importing from China? 3) What was preventing us from using the Yuan to pay for imports from China before we decided to borrow billions of dollars from China. 4) How exactly will borrowing billions of dollars from China cause us to suddenly start paying for Chinese goods with the Yuan instead of dollar? 33 Likes 12 Shares |
Re: Currency Deal With China: Things To Know by Truth234(m): 11:30am On Apr 14, 2016 |
Seun: To be honest these are very important questions that most people won't ask, China is looking for ways to further her business reach while trying to transform its economy to a consumption dependent economy instead of exports, hence the need to invest in other regions where their exports can be pushed to. China has been looking for a way to substantially infiltrate Africa's largest market, I am afraid Buhari offer that opportunity with this loan agreement. Nullifying every campaigns for diversification to enhance our exports via local raw materials. In as much as the deal will allow importers and traders access both finished and unfinished goods at a lower commission, the long-term implications is more than what Nigerians are been sold. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s president, has negotiated a $6bn loan and a currency swap deal with China, as he continues to search for ways to revive an economy buckling under pressure from dwindling oil revenues. http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/6e994bb0-0190-11e6-99cb-83242733f755.html A more even handed analysis - looks like in principle this is a good deal. Maybe not the best, but I think its better than anything "traditional economists" would have offered 3 Likes 1 Share |

FG should scrutinized this china deal very well before signing such that Nigeria is not turned into dumping ground for china products by through the Igbo traders. this will lead to closure of many industries thereby leading to massive unemployment.

mildflame:Professor Soludo. Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Any Nigerian economist who is respected abroad. They are largely in agreement. How many economist foresaw the global meltdown?First of all, here's a list of 6 economists who predicted the meltdown: interblack.com. Having said that, you seem to misunderstand the predictive role of Economics. Economics cannot predict exactly what will happen in the future because that depends on the policies politicians chose to implement, but it can predict what will happen if they implement particular policies. Did it have any effect on the CHINESE RUSSIAN and INDIA government?Yes, it drove Russia into recession, [url=http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2008/09/beijing%E2%80%99s-burden-a-slowing-china-bodes-ill-for-the-world-economy/]slowed China's growth[/url], and strangled India's stock market. 32 Likes 3 Shares |

![]() Many of you are just saying nonsense. Is it America that hiked the price of the dollar? The problem is with the system, how are we sure the yuan won't go as high as 80 in the parallel market? So when it gets to that, we then jump to cefa instead of fixing the system. Are we this dull? 20 Likes 1 Share
