The festive season\u2019s consumer demand upsurge, following subdued periods due to energy and foreign exchange reforms, contributed to this trend, persisting from November through December yearly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe upward trend of food inflation is primarily due to supply shocks caused by insecurity, climate-induced factors such as flood and rainfall shortage in some cases, inefficient, subsistent and seasonal farming practices as well as importation bottlenecks that have impacted the prices of imported food items.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn December 2023, the economic landscape revealed significant shifts. The headline inflation stood at 28.92% in December 2023 as against 28.20 % in November, food inflation was 33.93% as against 32.84% in November, while core inflation was 23.06% as against 22.38% in October 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnecdotal evidence indicates that recent exchange rate volatility has fuelled more foreign demands for agricultural products, especially from neighboring countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile this presents an opportunity to expand and boost agricultural output, hence creating jobs in the sector, supply constraint exacerbated demand, instigating more inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dGiven this backdrop, the emergency committee on food security set up by the President has been taking a number of measures and we see an end in sight to the persistent rise in food inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn our side at the CBN, we have responded with significant monetary policy tightening to reign in inflationary pressure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dEmpirical analysis has established that money supply is one of the factors fueling the current inflationary pressure. For instance, an analysis of the trend of the money supply spanning over 9 months shows that M3 increased from N52.01 trillion in January 2023 to N68.25 trillion in November 2023 representing N16.24 trillion or 31.22 percent increase over the period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncrease in Net Foreign Asset (NFA) following the harmonization of exchange rates and the N3.22 trillion ways and means advances were the major factors driving the increase in money supply. I am pleased to note the Fiscal Authorities efforts in discontinuing ways and means advances.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He cited supply shocks, hyper-inflation as reasons for hunger and hardship in the nation Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Olayemi Cardoso has attributed the parlous state of nation to troubling social factors and negative macro economic indices.
