Why Cant The FEDERAL Government Print Money To Pay Up Our Debt? by Rhapsodia: 6:27pm On Dec 12, 2020 |
Good evening Nairalanders Please help me understand some things in governance. Considering the huge debt the country is faced with under this Buhari's Government, why can't the government print money in the CBN and pay the lenders?? Thank you so much. 1 Like 3 Shares

1.Printing money involves us using scarce foreign reserves to do the job (because most of our currency is printed abroad). 2.Out of the same scarce reserves, we also pay our debts and pay for the running of the country. 3.Also, printing more money=inflation, and eventually a fall in the value of the Naira. 4.Naira can only become more strong if we are more productive. 5.Our creditors want their cash in dollars, not in Naira.

There has to be a delicate balance between the naira in circulation and the forex made from export else we go the way of Zimbabwe so the challenge then is not moey note printing but more productivity, more engagement of our natural resources(beyond crude oil) and human resources to generate more forex to properly run the country and comfortably clear our debts which by the way should not(because it can) be paid once for it's adverse effect on the country economy but rather paid in the staggered way we have agreed like how you pay back a bank loan 2 Likes |

Cyberterror:Our foreign creditors don't spend naira, they spend and receive dollars. So after printing the naira it will remain here and be useless to us because they will still have to exchange it to dollars before leaving the country. 13 Likes |

Cyberterror: Sir, did you do econometrics? How can you use printed money to settle debts? Do you know the rationale behind printing money? Naira will be devalued, people will be poorer. Don't you know that money is being regulated? Lol, so you think they'll just print money and ask China for their account number and Nigeria will just send am Gbam? 15 Likes 1 Share |

Cyberterror:Nigeria can only print Naira and foreign creditors wants Dollars, meaning you can't print money to settle your debt. What we need now is to be productive to get foreign currency like Dollar, Euro and Pounds to help Naira gain value. So printing money is not the solution as it lead to inflation even USA that has the power to print Dollar since their currency is generally acceptable worldwide will not do that because it will make their creditors more powerful, if printing money is the solution, USA will not borrow. 6 Likes |

This is what countries like America, UK and Canada have been secretly doing for ages but they will tell Africans and Latin Americans not to do same using mumbo jumbo economic fear mongering and clowns will buy hook, line and sinker. |

Rhapsodia: 1.We don't have enough dollars with the CBN in the first place due to the falling price of oil which accounts for most of our frex income. 2.In printing the money, we would have had to use forex to pay the printers, even if we do use NSPMC, which can't even meet all our demand...which means lower forex income. 3.We have to earn more dollars, and that is only possible if we are more productive. Once you know Nigeria's problem is that we don't have enough forex , you will understand a lot of things.... 5 Likes |
