But retain your confidence in Nigeria. Indeed, increase your level of confidence in Nigeria; this economy is resilient. - Godwin Emefiele, CBN Governor, February 12, 2015
THE EXPERTS’ CONSENSUS
The market’s selffulfilling devaluation HE conventional wisdom on the street is that the naira-dollar exchange rate will find its floor at N220 to the dollar on the interbank market. The local currency has been under pressure for since the last quarter of 2014 despite the Central Bank of Nigeria’s conceding the devaluation of the naira at the end of November. In a communiqué issued at the conclusion of its Monetary Policy Committee meeting held that month, the apex bank allowed the official exchange rate to drop 8 per cent from N155/US$ to N168/ US$. The market was barely assuaged. Indeed, most analysts right away factored in another devaluation in the near future into their company valuation models and economic projections. Brushing aside reassurances given by Godwin Emefiele, the CBN governor, they judged the November devaluation as a half-measure pending the outcome of the country’s presidential election, which were scheduled to hold on February 14. In their evaluation, a double-digit devaluation last year would have been unpopular in the run-up to the elections. Last week, he admitted on CNBC Africa that although ‘We are not in the best of times but there’s no need to panic,’ and that the central bank did not see a need to call an emergency meeting. The governor also dismissed talk of floating the naira. Anyway, on February 7 the Independent National Electoral Commission announced that the election will

We are not in the best of times but there’s no need to panic – Godwin Emefiele, CBN governor be postponed for six weeks. Professor Attahiru Jega, the INEC chairman explained that this would ensure that logistic jams in the distribution of permanent voter cards and security concerns are adequately addressed.
Automatically, this extended the juggling period to maintain what the interbank market is treating, to all intents and purposes, as an artificial and unsustainable official exchange rate.

Victims of politics The savaging of truth and its fraternal twin, context explains why media stories and campaign speeches are awash with absolute figures and incomplete comparisons.
How tall is the problem? This high? Thomas Piketty, author of Capital in the 21st Century, freely shared the data and illustrations he used in his book.
Obiora Onyeaso obiora.onyeaso@customsstreet.com
MONG the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and credulity encourages.’ So wrote Samuel Johnson, an Englishman of letters in The Idler, a collection of essays that appeared in the 18th century. In On War, his posthumously published book, Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian general, military theorist and contemporary of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, pointed out that ‘war is the continuation of politics by other means.’ Closer in time, Hiram Warren Johnson, a US Senator speaking in 1918 is reported to have said that ‘The first casualty when war comes is truth.’ These three
A
quotes drawn from three different centuries describe the weather in this season of Nigerian politics. Truth is not the only victim of war and politics, two sides of the same coin. Context also suffers because struggles for predominance do not admit for shades of grey. When the stakes are high things are either black or white. Nuances are well and good in academia. They have no space in the minefield called Nigerian politics. Nowhere is the maxim that you are either for us or against us truer. The savaging of truth and its fraternal twin, context explains why media stories and campaign speeches are awash with absolute figures and incomplete comparisons. Figures on unemployment, oil theft, government expenditure are hardly given with the attenuating circumstances that should couch their interpretation. Trends are deemed not worth glancing at either. Political campaigns are organized polemics. Therefore, it is fair game when all kinds of accusations, failures, and plots are attributed to the other side. The theme of the 2015 elections was supposed to be issue-based politics. No-one takes that seriously again.
Under the banner of issuebased politics, personalities whose track record command attention have joined the fray. A recent example is Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (2004-2009). In January, he authored Buhari vs Jonathan: Beyond the Election, a critique of the financial implications of the manifestoes of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, and the main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress. In the same piece, he shared his opinion on the economic stewardship of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration.
Almost immediately after its publication, an avalanche of rejoinders and comments flooded in. Just as quickly, the essence of his points evaporated in the cacophony of brays from those who chorused ‘How dare he?’ in disgust, on one side, and those who clamoured ‘Encore! Encore!’ in didn’t I tell you so backslapping, on the other. Whatever the merits of the points he marshalled one expected that he, a professor of economics, would have provided more data and more than simplistic explanations. Far and above the data one would have liked to see charts that would aid readers visualize the trends in the areas he discussed.
Take the extract below supposed to incriminate Peter Obi, a political rival against whom he contested the Anambra State gubernatorial elections in February 2010. ‘While ex-governor Peter Obi gloated about savings, there is no signature project to remember his regime except that his regime took the first position among all states in Nigeria in the democratization of poverty—- mass impoverishment of the people of Anambra. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, poverty rose under his watch in Anambra from 20% in 2004 (lowest in Nigeria then) to 68% in 2010 (a 238% deterioration!).’ On poverty in Anambra, it would have been educating to compare the rise in poverty he refers to with factors such as the state’s monthly receipts from the federal government, its internally generated revenues, the state government’s own development agenda, and the figures from other states in similar conditions as Anambra all shown as charts for easy visual digestion. Instead, the professor dumped these numbers on readers’ heads under the assumption that they would spare him the bother of explaining them at a deeper level. Contrast Soludo’s piece with that of another professor of economics. Thomas Piketty, a Frenchman, is the author of Capital in the 21st Century, a best-selling book about the growing inequality in developed economies. At its publication, Piketty widely publicised that all the data used in the book will be freely available at www. quandl.com/PIKETTY,
and the charts at http:// piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/ capital21c/en/Piketty2014FiguresTablesLinks. pdf. He and his colleagues at the Paris School of Economics where he teaches, Facundo Alvaredo, Tony Atkinson, and Emmanuel Saez maintain the world’s most extensive database of incomes. It is accessible to the public at http://topincomes.parisschoolofeconomics.eu. Piketty made it easy for critics to question the validity of his data and causal links to his conclusions rather than his political motives if any. Understandably, the space afforded by a book far exceeds the limited space in a newspaper. But the medium is not the point. It is that readers are better informed when provided the context of claims. Unless, of course, the purpose is to mislead or incite. Indolence may also be cited but no-one who knows Soludo’s industry will dare accuse him of that. In conclusion, issue based politics is meaningless without the caveats that any serious intellectual enterprise admits. Otherwise, it is reduced to the sordid level of ideological bar brawls. Spectators find it amusing when professional politicians swing chairs at one another in the public space of ideas. It is quite another when one of Nigeria’s most respected academics in the field of economics dispenses wide sweeping value-loaded generalizations that lose their way in detours to settling personal scores. The brutality of politics should not be allowed invade the sanctity of the ivory tower. ;
THE EXPERTS’ CONSENSUS
The market’s self-fulfilling devaluation W Continued from Page VM1 Analysts doubt that the CBN has the circus skills to keep all its balls in the air that long. They surmise that sooner, rather than later, and very likely before the March 28 election date, it will bow to the market reality. Other analysts cut the CBN more slack on the date of devaluation, only going so far as to place it before the end of the year. For example, analysts at
Dunn Loren Merrifield ‘see the possibility of a further devaluation of the currency in the current year to ease the rapid depletion of the reserves if current economic realities persists.’ In the circumstances, there is the likelihood of ‘further adjustment of the mid-point of the official exchange rate to the range of N190/US$.’ At N190/US$ that would be a 13 per cent devaluation on the current N168/US$ exchange rate.
In its latest update on the country’s foreign reserves, the CBN disclosed that between January 28 and February 10 it had dropped by US$1 billion to $33.4 billion. One does not have to look very far to find the reason for the interbank market’s scepticism about the official exchange rate. According to analysts at CSL Stockbrokers, the last time the naira was devalued in 2008/9, the average exchange rate of N149/US$ was
27.4 per cent lower than in the first nine months of 2008, when it averaged N117.62/ US$ on the interbank market. On Thursday, the naira now traded at N204/US$, that is, 25.5 per cent lower than the average exchange rate of N162.52 in the first nine months of 2014. Therefore, what the market has experienced is a replica of the 2008/9 situation. But it would not stop there. There is still a couple of inches to fall. Political un-
certainty around the credible elections, and the volatility in oil prices remain. This could push the drop further by 10 per cent to N200/US$. This is the base case in CSL Research’s scenario. At this level, the market would have fully adjusted to the new reality. The naira would then enjoy stability underpinned by ‘three principal factors that should support the currency at a lower level.’ These are a decline in import costs partly due to
a lower petroleum import bill, fewer outflows visible in the ‘net errors and omissions’ item in national accounts, that is, a decline in capital flight, and increased imports, traceable to both portfolio and foreign direct investments as Nigerian assets become cheaper. The question on everyone’s lips now is: How long the CBN can go in holding back the waves as King Canute once tried to do with futility? ;

Let there be light
Growth on shaky ground HE Nigerian economy grew by 6.33 per cent in 2014, a clear 84 basis points higher than the 5.49 per cent growth it recorded in 2013. This ‘highlights the sustained resilience of the Nigerian economy’ according to Kate Isabota, analyst at Dunn Loren Merrifield. In a report titled Growth encircled by vulnerabilities, she advocates that the federal government must push ahead with

HE pieces are all coming together in the federal government’s bid to provide an enabling business environment for companies operating in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI). Epileptic power supply is a major drain on economic productivity and citizens’ quality of life on Nigeria. It also ratchets up the cost of doing business in the country. Poor investment levels, unattractive tariffs, and huge aggregate technical, commercial and collections (ATC&C) losses among others were to blame. To assist these companies meet the shortfalls in their revenues and pay down certain legacy debts, the Central Bank in partnership with

banks has provided an intervention fund. In his speech delivered at the disbursement of the N213 billion Nigerian Electricity Market Stabilization Facility (NEMSF), Godwin Emefiele, the CBN governor envisaged that the beneficiaries will ‘invest the funds in the necessary improvements in generation plant maintenance, transmission upgrades and distribution networks including transformers and better metering for end consumers.’ Loans offered by NESF have a 10 per cent per annum rate of interest and will be repaid over 10 years from a reset of the Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO). Two disbursements have been made so far from the facility. ;

reforms and investment in the country’s agricultural and industrial sectors to maintain this growth rate. Among the report’s predictions for 2015 are ‘a further devaluation in the current year as N168/US$ does not reflect the true position of the naira particularly in view of current economic realities’, and threats to future growth due to ‘dwindling oil prices coupled with lower oil production’. ;
Not yet uhuru for Dangote Flour HE latest results from Dangote Flour Mills raises more questions about the company’s future strategy than it answers. Alex Ibhade, an analyst at DLM observes that while ‘the revenue growth signals notable progress, and recovery can be expected… the company appears to have a long road ahead in terms of recovery in order to reach the revenue and net profit levels attained in 2009. Dangote Flour faces a number of stubborn threats. Its sales revenue has struggled to surpass cost of sales despite a drop in wheat prices. To plaster the shortfall in revenues the company may be financing its operations from reserves. Its balance sheet has also suffered evident in an 11.40 per cent shrinking in fixed assets and 60.30 per cent drop in cash and bank balances. Short-term loans rose by 48.50 per cent, while shareholders’ funds fell 48.18 per cent from N12.91 billion to N6.69 billion. ;
