CBN seeks increase in Nigeria’s external reserve

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has urged the Federal Government to increase the country’s external reserves.
The CBN Governor, Mr Lamido Sanusi, made the call at a news briefing after the bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said the measure became necessary to safeguard the country’s financial market.
Sanusi said the country’s financial market was “extremely fragile’’ and susceptible to external shocks due to its low external reserves.
“ The committee noted that the increase in external reserves to 45.37 billion U.S dollars as at November 15, 2013, representing an increase of 2.85 per cent above the 44.11 billion U.S dollars as at end of September 2013.
“The committee continues to express its disappointment at the low rate of reserve accretion in spite of strong oil prices, which is a result of absence of fiscal savings,’’ he said.
Sanusi said although government had moderated its spending in the second half of the year, the country’s Excess Crude Account (ECA) was diminishing.
“The erosion of fiscal buffers through the depletion of the ECA has further exposed the economy to vulnerabilities while the fall in oil revenue has left capital inflows as the only source of external reserve accretion.
“The Federal Government debt has also risen phenomenally along with its deposit money banks, showing the government as a net creditor to the system.
“This underscores the urgent need for immediate implementation of the Treasury Single Account.
“The continued delay in returning government accounts to the Central Bank is adding to the huge cost of government debt due to poor cash flow management,’’ he said.
The CBN governor called on the fiscal authorities to rebuild buffers in the ECA by blocking fiscal leakages in the oil sector and increasing oil revenues.
Sanusi said the MPC was retaining the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) also known as lending rate at 12 per cent.
“Nine members voted to keep the MPR at 12 per cent, plus or minus 2 per cent, private sector Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) at 12 per cent, Public sector CRR at 50 per cent, and liquidity ratio at 30 per cent.
“One member voted for a 0.5 per cent reduction in MPR and an increase in public sector CRR from 50 per cent to 75 per cent
“One member voted for a 0.5 per cent reduction in MPR and an increase in public sector CRR, from 50 per cent to 100 per cent.
“The committee has, therefore, decided by majority vote of nine to two to hold all rates at current level.”
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that for over a year, the MPC continues to retain the 12 per cent benchmark lending rate (MPR) to ensure price and exchange rate stability.
Sanusi also said the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) was expected to reduce its debt by one trillion naira by December.
He added that the transaction was not expected to have any impact on the money market because the debt would be paid for, by exchanging them for a Federal Government Treasury Bill.
“So, in essence, the only impact of the repayment is that the balance sheet of AMCON will shrink by one trillion naira,’’ he said.
Sanusi said the committee had studied global monetary conditions and did not anticipate any major internal or external shocks before its next meeting in January 2014. (NAN)

Actress moves into N200 million mansion

Abuja - Nollywood superstar Genevieve Nnaji has reportedly purchased and moved into her brand new N200 million mansion in Ikoyi, Lagos.

The actress has reportedly moved out of the residence she shared with her best friend Chinny Onwugbenu, Gabriel Hitruxt  shares.

The actress was spotted at the premiere of the film Half Of A Yellow Sun in Toronto, Canada last weekend looking so dazzling. She plays the character Miss Adebayo in the film.

Three months after buying a twin duplex in Sangotedo, Lekki, Lagos, superstar actress Genevieve Nnaji has made another pleasantly surprising acquisition – a fabulous mansion in the highbrow Park View Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos.

The actress who turned 34 on May 3, 2013, has already moved into the new crib, according to NET investigations. ‘She is still putting a few things in place like electronics and fittings, but she’s moved in already’ a source privy to the details tells us in anonymity. Before the recent move, Genny lived in Lekki with bestie Chinny Onwugbenu

Sources say the property may have cost the sexy actress who is one of Africa’s most celebrated actors over N200 million. To avoid the media exposure, a source says the actress has decided to keep mum on the deal until she completes the renovation of the newly-purchased house. ‘Genny has been very coded about her relocation and has tried to hard to keep this information from the press because she values her privacy’, one of her friends who spoke with us said.

The new property will be her home for now. We were unable to immediately confirm if she will move to join her parents in Lekki upon completion of the Sangotedo property. The actress who on popular US talk show, Oprah was referred to as Africa’s Julia Roberts, she was featured on ELLE’s website as one of seven international superstars who are the ‘Next Big Crossover Acts’ for 2013.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, the actress was in Toronto, Canada for the premiere of the much-anticipated movie, ‘Half of a Yellow Sun‘ where she plays Miss Adebayo.

Lets Celebrate her.
