Macro-economic Review (Nigeria)
As the Russia-Ukraine war continues to drive crude oil prices northwards, Nigeria's oil
production is expected to rise gradually in line with OPEC production agreement and minimal
production interruptions. The recent CBN policies on FX repatriation for exporters is expected
to improve FX liquidity and preserve external reserves in the medium to long-term.
Yields improved in the first half of 2021 despite its downward trend in 2020. We do not expect
a marked increase in yields on fixed income securities from 2021 levels despite government's
plans to borrow more to finance it budget deficit. We also expect the CBN to continue to
focus on alternates to improve FX inflows.

Headline inflation is expected to trend upwards as campaign spending commences and
supply chain challenges continues to drive increase in food inflation and general price
levels. Increased government spending and positive contribution of select non-oil sectors is
expected to improve economic activities and spur positive economic growth.
The apex bank adopted NAFEX as the official exchange rate in the first half of 2021. This, coupled
with the recent increase in oil prices and projected improvement in FX inflow into the country
should result in a relatively stable naira in 2022.
