The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), said pegging the Custom duty rate N1000/$ will ease the current hardship in the country.

He however said “The CBN intervention did not address the bigger and the more troubling issue of the current prohibitive cost of cargo clearance at the ports which had risen by over 40 percent in the last two months.

Dr. Muda Yusuf, the chief executive officer of the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), made the call on Sunday in a document made available to journalists.

He said having a stable exchange rate for Customs duty will address bigger issues.

According to him, CPPE welcomes the decision of the (CBN) to approve the use of the exchange rate reflected on the import documentation (Form M) at the onset of the import transaction, adding that it was a laudable response to the grievances of investors in the economy.

He stressed that the development would reduce the current uncertainty around imports and related transactions in the economy, noting that  “The high exchange rate for import duty assessment is fueling the already high inflation, increasing production and operating costs for manufacturers and other businesses, worsening the cost-of-living crisis and putting thousands of maritime sector jobs at risk.

He underscores the fact that “There is also the added risk of cargo diversion to neighboring countries and heightened smuggling which could jeopardize the realization of customs revenue targets. In light of this, the CPPE strongly appeals to the CBN to peg the customs duty exchange rate at N1000/$ for the rest of the year in line with the federal government’s commitment to ease the current hardships on the citizens and the burden on businesses,”

He said that the current Customs duty exchange rate is still too high in the context of the current galloping inflation and difficulties facing businesses and citizens, adding that Instances of abandoned cargo are on the increase as a consequence of escalating trade costs.

He pointed out that these are not good outcomes for an economy seeking to ensure recovery, drive growth, promote inclusion, and guarantee social stability.

“Businesses are currently grappling with multiple macroeconomic and structural headwinds which are negatively impacting profitability, competitiveness, job creation, retention of existing jobs, and business sustainability.

“Pegging the Customs duty exchange rate resonates with the present intervention measures to mitigate the current hardships in the country. Besides, this proposition does not in any way detract from the economic reform agenda of the present administration.

“If anything, it would complement the economic transformation measures because of the expected positive impact on competitiveness, productivity, cost reduction, deceleration of inflation, and employment generation,” he added.
