While there have been different efforts from all corners talking about the big figures, this article however aims to breakdown the little figures which seem not to matter (to some individuals) but will make much impact if diverted to other areas that matter.
According to the WEF, a country’s performance on the overall GCI results as well as each of its components is reported as a ‘progress score’ on a 0-to-100 scale, where 100 represents the ‘frontier’, an ideal state where an issue ceases to be a constraint to productivity growth. This means that the more a country moves closer to 100 points, the better it is for her. The 2019 edition of the report therefore focuses on 141 economies of the world which account for 99% of the world’s GDP.

From 2005 to 2018, the average rate of exchange has increased by 132% while the external reserve increased by 51% from $28.3bn in 2005 to N42.6bn in 2018. This shows that the change in both exchange rate and external reserve is not proportional and whenever there is a decline in external reserve, the CBN tends to devalue the naira much more than the decline in external reserve.
In this article, we will be particularly concerned about the total value of Nigeria’s agricultural export from Q2 2017 to Q2 2019 (Since Nigeria emerged from the 2016 economic recession in Q2 2017), while also looking at the drivers of country’s total agricultural export and the contribution of crude oil to Nigeria’s total export.
The CBN on July 3, 2019 passed a circular to the commercial banks to mandating them to maintain a Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) of 60% by September 30, 2019. Failure to do so will attract an additional Cash Reserve Requirement equal to 50% of the lending shortfall of the target LDR.
