It's obvious that we are not going to leave 42B dollars in the hands of Atiku. Only the Lord knows what he will do to it.

Even a year 1 under graduate know that there is no point saving money when there is economic downturn. It was keysian economic principles that bailed out America during d global depression. Buhari just is a mess.

I don't get, last time I checked, Keynesian Economists are not against the government saving money in the economy. When leakages is equal to injections, Its even by saving money there they will be able to fight any economic slump 'cause the invisible hand cannot bring back economic boom. Mind you, no country is without a debt.

Can we get it to around $60bn before March 2019? . At least that'll afford Atiku enough money to spend when he takes over in May?

No doubt the economy of the Nation is revamping and I must commend the effort of the FG to stabilize the economy after it was messed by the 16 years of the PDP...Better days indeed are ahead

Find out the amount GEJ left with oil boom and compare what PMB did to raise it without oil boom. PDP is a curse to Nigeria.

Open the vault of CBN and loot Nigeria dry.

So you approximated $41.992 billion dollars to $42 billion dollars. Did you know that that is a difference of $8 million dollars?

That $8m dollars is equivalent to 2.88 billion naira using current exchange rate! That money can transform the life of many people.

Bia OP be kiaful. Don't approximate our money again.

The external reserves of Africa’s largest economy returned to $42 billion after one month it fell below this present level.

Data obtained by Business Post from the online portal of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) showed that as at Wednesday, November 2, 2018, the amount left in Nigeria’s foreign reserves was $41.992 billion, approximately $42 billion.

On October 31, 2018, the reserves depleted to $41.995 billion from $42.062 billion the previous day and since then, things have been going badly.

At a point this month, precisely on November 22, the external reserves dropped to $41.523 billion, before starting to pick up since the next day to its present level.

Business Post reports that the decline in the foreign reserves was almost becoming a source of worry for analysts, coupled with the gradual fall in the prices of crude oil in the global market.

Nigeria depends mainly on the sale of the Brent crude oil to earn foreign exchange and at the moment, the commodity goes for $58 per barrel.

For a long time, the CBN, which manages nation’s reserves, has been ing the Naira with the weekly sale of about $210 million to currency traders in the country.

This has left Naira relatively stable at N363 to a Dollar for a long time at the parallel market until few days ago when the local currency started to lose its value against the Dollar, hitting N370 at the close of transactions yesterday.

With the price of crude oil gradually declining as well as election spendings by politicians ahead of the 2019 polls, there are renewed fears that the Naira will continue to fall.

Deceptive news.
For reserves to be climbing while oil revenues are declining , it only means that there has been increased foreign borrowing. The government counts it's Eurobond sales as a foreign reserve increase, which, technically it is. But to publish it out of context as an achievement is deceptive and mischievous.

you are not serious o,can u imaging! How was the external foreign reserve before buhari?

With that amount of money and the country is still in recession. Everything dies at the mention of APC

PMB FIGHT BACK

theoldpretender:


No savings means one dollar exchanges for 10000 naira.

With severe inflation.

Foreign reserves is not the same as savings.

PMB FIGHTS BACK

GavelSlam:
Post a thread that says "Nigeria's Foreign Reserves Now Down to 30 Billion Dollars" and see the vermins comment with multiple s.

God Bless Buhari.

. Read more books. Have you asked yourself why we have such money and we can't finance our budget? People are still suffering? We are still owning? The reason for having more money in external reserve is for the country to borrow more from world bank. Google is your friend don't just waste data and b a follow follow man

Low oil price yet external reserve is growing ,we should salute the prudency of this Govt..Buhari is not a waster .

Foreign reserve dey do yoyo up and dan since 2015. Him only rise by 50% since then. Meanwhile him twin brother (External Debt) don rise by 100+ %. Who see 2 of then now no go know say dem be twins

I was expecting to see BUHARI littered in this thread but now I get the fact that 60% nairalanders are just waiting for bad news... God b with ya all

You should know that majority of the people on this site are PDP sycophants from a certain landlocked region of this country!

Na who give am the ladder wey e take climb?




Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the economy, the Government has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.

This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the Government to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination).

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).

A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as the Government deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by the Government.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The Government has always prided its self on the amount of SHIT it gives our citizens.

Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your Representative at either the Senate or house of rep who has been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.

Sincerely,

The E.V.I.L. (Economic Value of Individual Lives) Committee

Keynesian economist is d exact opposite govt should not save when Der is a downturn but spend on key sectors of the economy that will bring it back to life.

Adress issues not ur stupid insult under stupid monikers. Foolish economist with no brain. I guess dats while u are called zombies. 42 billion dollars in a yet no jobs no good roads agriculture zero and u shouting crystal clear if dats crystal clear to u den u are just as dumb as d word dumbass.

SimplePlan34:

Keynesian economists encourages government spending and lowering of taxes but it never discouraged government saving no matter how small. If government doesn't save, how will it be able to embark on future projected projects and investments, also pay salaries?

They just write anything in the media and expect us yo believe it

Fraudsters

Apc is useless
