Naira Falls Towards N400-$1 As Electioneering Resumes by ujuvals: 3:38am On Sep 12, 2017 |
The Nigerian Naira is expected to trade closer to N400 per one dollar as election campaigns for the 2019 elections enter into full swing. Already some presidential candidates are gesturing, and financial analysts says that could result in a negative trend in 2018. Electioneering is expected to push up government spending in 2018 and the risk of the budget deficit being monetised will increase, which would be negative for the naira, according to the Lagos arm of Russian Investment Bank, Renaissance Capital. The foreign exchange market analysts, however indicated the naira was currently undervalued. “On 2 August, banks began to publish indicative prices based on trades at the NAFEX window, at the behest of the authorities. This led to the adjustment of the interbank FX rate to $1/N366, from $1/ N315 previously, and its convergence with the only market determined rate (outside the parallel market), the NAFEX rate. “At today’s interbank rate of c. $1/N360, the naira is cheap; it is 14 per cent undervalued, according to this analyst’s 13-year real effective exchange rate model. “We think a stronger external sector and tighter monetary policy imply naira appreciation risk in the near term, and as such, we revise our YE17 FX rate forecast to $1/N332 as against $1/N447 previously,” they posited. They said the Naira would decline in 2018 based on macro economic realities. “Looser monetary policy in 2018 implies a weaker Naira,” the analysts stated, adding that Godwin Emefiele, the central bank governor, had expressed a desire for policy easing in a mid-2017 monetary policy committee (MPC) statement, but thinks appropriate liquidity conditions should precede it. They, therefore, forecast an FX rate of $1/N373 at year end 2018 (YE18). “Our FX model predicts a rate of $1/N373 at YE18; assuming monetary policy becomes accommodative and little upside for the external sector. We think it is probable that instead of appreciating in the near term, the naira weakens gradually to $1/N373 at YE18, which would signal price stability http://www.herald.ng/naira-to-fall-further-2018/ |

The naira is yet to recover from the damage done to it in 2015, that was when "dollarisation of the economy" happened. Politicians were practically using the dollar for virtually anything - during the national and even state conventions of both PDP and APC, most delegates were bribed with as much as 5k dollars each. Then i was working in a bank, i saw things. Depositors literally queued with dollars and other hard currencies, it was a amazing seeing back then more transactions done with hard currencies. If you notice, the naira got into trouble shortly after 2015 polls. If this pattern continues, we may very well witness another onslaught on the naira. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

I won't mind honest. It may sound selfish as I earn in dollars but would ordinarily have wanted it to crash but of what significant effect does a crash have on prices of commodities? The stupiid marketers have till date refused to reduce the prices of commodities that jacked up when the naira was circa 500 to a dollar. My $1000 that was worth 500k has reduced to just 365k but I still buy stuffs at the price I was buying when it was 500k. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Its expected because what CBN have been doing thus far is window dressing to keep the Naira stable. Meanwhile, leadership should be by example but what we have now is 'do what I say but don't do what I do' by APC led govt. Example: WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE BUHARI THAT PRESENTED HIMSELF TO HIS GULLIBLE SUPPORTERS AS A "POOR" MAN WITH NEVER GROWING 150 COWS? Let me help you with factual information: 1. Fatima Buhari (daughter) is in Stratford, Uk. 2. Nana-Hadiza (daughter) lives in Buckingham. 3. Safinatu Muhammadu (daughter) is in Arden University, UK. 4. Halima Buhari (daughter that is not so intelligent) just finished law school in Lagos and has gone back to Leicester, UK. 5. Yusuf Buhari (son) is in the university of Surrey, UK. 6. Zahra Buhari (daughter) married but still visiting from her surrey duplex in the UK. 7. Aisha Buhari and Amina Buhari (daughters), both just got admissions into Surrey University and British school of Lome. While APC could still have something to say against Governor Fayose whose children school in Nigeria. #APCHypocrisy 21 Likes 6 Shares |
