International investors still have faith in Nigeria’s economy – DMO

The recent activities in the debt market have shown that Nigeria still has room for further borrowing as international investors still have faith in the Nigerian Economy.

The Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Ms. Patience Oniha, said this at a panel session to mark the 30th anniversary of the Finance Correspondents Association of Nigeria (FICAN) in Lagos, according to Daily Trust.

The DMO boss mentioned the oversubscription of Nigeria’s recent Eurobond sale through which the country recently raised $4 billion as a point to back up her assertion.

What the DMO boss is saying

Oniha, represented by Joe Ugoala, Director, Operational/Research Department at DMO stated,

“In the last edition that we just did where the country raised $4bn, the idea was that we could raise a minimum of $3bn, and we found out that people still have interest in our country.

“Even though we seem to have doubts, the international investors still have faith. They still believe in the fundamentals of this economy. We were asking for $3bn, we ended up having $12.2bn, which was almost 400 percent of what we actually asked for.

“We have to say this because of our approval from the National Assembly which is within the requirement of the Appropriation Act.

“So, what the country took from that outing was $4bn out of the $12.2bn. You can see that there is so much interest in Nigeria’s instrument across Asia, America, Europe, and other parts of the world.

“The country issued three instruments: three tranches of the seven-year instrument, 12-year instrument, and 30-year instrument. What this means is that if private domestic investors go offshore to borrow, their instruments can be priced as of the sovereign.”

Ms. Oniha said the government alone could not address the country’s infrastructural needs, as the funds were not available.

“There must be creative ways of opening up the system to enable us to bring the private sector, where we can pool the capital to fund infrastructure,” she suggested.

“That has started with what we are doing with the road clean-up infrastructure; with Dangote trying to take care of some roads. Some other private sector players will enjoy that tax incentive to encourage them to participate, bearing in mind that the government alone cannot do it.”

In case you missed it
  • The Debt Management Office earlier warned that it is not advisable to fund the government with borrowings, suggesting that borrowing should be for special purposes and urging the FG to do more about revenues as Nigeria’s growing debt stock rises due to new borrowings in the annual budgets and new borrowings approved under the Medium Term External Borrowing Plan.
  • The DG of the DMO, therefore, called for solutions to Nigeria’s rising debt stock and low revenue generation.
