In the third quarter of 2023, the government spent N204.59 billion on electricity subsidy, with plans for an additional N1.6 trillion in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The removal of petrol subsidy from May 29, 2023, has contributed to worsening living conditions, as inflation continues to impact Nigerians&#8217; disposable income negatively.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are debates on the full implementation of petrol subsidy, with the World Bank hinting that the federal government has partially reintroduced under-recovery, the cost of living in Nigeria has remained up.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on recent remedial efforts in its report, the IMF said the government has released cereals from the grain reserve, provided subsidised fertilizer to farmers, and capped retail fuel and electricity prices \u2014 \u201cthus partially reversing the fuel subsidy removal\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The lender said the government also implemented a civil service wage award, and suspended the value-added tax (VAT) on diesel to ease the impact of the rapidly rising inflation on living conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The institution, however, called for a total removal of petrol and electricity subsidies, saying they are expensive and often do not reach the most vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new administration has made a strong start, tackling deep-rooted structural issues in challenging circumstances,\u201d the IMF said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImmediately, it adopted two policy reforms that its predecessors had shied away from: fuel subsidy removal and the unification of the official exchange rates. Since then, the new CBN team has made price stability its core mandate and demonstrated this resolve by dropping its previous role in development finance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the fiscal side, the authorities are developing an ambitious domestic revenue mobilization agenda. Like many other countries, Nigeria faces a difficult external environment and wide-ranging domestic challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExternal financing (market and official) is scarce, and global food prices have surged, reflecting the repercussions of conflict and geo-economic fragmentation. Per-capita growth in Nigeria has stalled, poverty, and food insecurity are high, exacerbating the cost-of-living crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLow reserves and very limited fiscal space constrain the authorities\u2019 option space. Against this backdrop, the authorities\u2019 focus on restoring macroeconomic stability and creating conditions for sustained, high and inclusive growth is appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CBN has set out on a welcome path of monetary tightening. The Governor has committed to making price stability the core objective of monetary policy, and the CBN has taken actions to mop up excess liquidity. Continuing to raise the monetary policy rate until it is positive in real terms would be an important signal of the direction of monetary policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government\u2019s focus on revenue mobilization and digitalization would improve public service delivery and safeguard fiscal sustainability. The envisaged reduction in the overall deficit in 2024 would help contain debt vulnerabilities and eliminate the need for CBN financing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the third quarter of 2023, the government spent N204.59 billion on electricity subsidy, with plans for an additional N1.6 trillion in 2024 The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has recommended the complete phasing out of petrol and electricity subsidies in Nigeria to restore macroeconomic stability, as stated in its &#8216;Post Financing Assessment (PFA)\u2019 report.
