Economist Intelligence Unit, a global research firm, says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration should consider foreign borrowing to rescue the Naira against the USD in the foreign exchange market. EIU made this known in its latest Country Report on Nigeria, which was released over the weekend. The report noted that the Central Bank of Nigeria lacks the liquidity required to support Naira and end the continued forex crisis.
recalls that in a move to clear the forex backlog, the Nigerian government took out a $3.3 billion loan from the African Export-Import Bank in mid-January, in a so-called crude oil prepayment facility. This follows a $1 billion loan from the African Development Bank in November, and another $1.5 billion is being sought from the World Bank. CBN governor, Olayemi Cardoso, at the beginning of this month, said the apex bank had cleared all foreign exchange backlogs except for five commercial banks.
