June 2023 NDU: "Seizing the opportunity” – in a nutshell
میرا
The recently undertaken
PMS subsidy & FX
reforms are historic:
NGN 3.9 trn in savings in 2023
alone
Stops Nigeria from going over a
fiscal cliff
Sets the stage for a new, upward
investment, growth, and
development trajectory
Inflation impacts should
be temporary but will be
significant, so provide
some timely, temporary
and targeted assistance:
Move to provide quick support:
cash transfers can help shield poor
and vulnerable HHs
It can be done affordably relative to
the resources getting freed up from
the reform, and financing is
available
It can be done based on robust
identification of recipients who need
help the most, and transparently by
digital methods
Beyond the immediate
assistance, consider
formulating and
communicating a new,
broader COMPACT
around:
Restoring fiscal sustainability, while
also supporting poor and vulnerable
HHs to weather the adjustment
Spending better, to tackle
development priorities
Sustainably spending more, based
on mobilizing more revenues
Entrench the new
approach to
macroeconomic stability
and faster growth through
continued reforms:
FX policy: focused on maintaining a
unified exchange rate with
transparent price discovery based
on FX supply and demand
Monetary policy: focused on price-
stability through coherent policies
and a revitalized nominal anchor
Fiscal policy: focused on rebuilding
fiscal space, through careful control
of total spending, spending better,
and mobilizing more revenues
Trade and structural policies:
focused on removing the regulatory
bottlenecks and constraints to
trade, investment and growth
