The Central of Nigeria (CBN) has released a report that highlights Nigeria’s significant debt servicing expenses in the first half of 2023, coupled with the challenges faced in revenue generation.

The projected increase in debt servicing for the year underscores the need for the government to address its revenue generation issues.

On a positive note, the country has experienced notable inflows of remittances, which can contribute to its overall economic stability.

Debt Servicing Expenses

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reveals that Nigeria spent a total of $1.169 billion to service its debt obligations in the first half of 2023. The monthly breakdown shows that the government spent $112.35 million in January, $288.5 million in February, $400.5 million in March, $92.8 million in April, $221 million in May, and $54 million in June.

Revenue Challenges

Despite the significant amount spent on debt servicing, the report notes that the Nigerian government continues to face challenges in boosting its revenue base. This implies that the government is struggling to generate sufficient income to cover its expenses, including debt servicing.

Projected Increase in Debt Servicing

The report suggests that the amount spent on debt servicing in 2023 is expected to surpass the previous year’s figure of $2.4 billion. This projection is attributed to various economic factors that may impede the country’s economic growth, such as the removal of subsidy on petroleum products and the unification of the Naira.

Reasons for Rising Debt

The Debt Management Office (DMO) attributes the steady increase in Nigeria’s debt to continuous borrowing by the federal and state governments. This borrowing is primarily conducted to fund budget deficits and execute various projects across the country.

Remittances Inflow

The CBN data reveals that Nigeria received a total of $952 million in remittances during the first half of 2023. The breakdown shows that remittances amounted to $79.18 million in January, $83.75 million in February, $138.62 million in March, $150.04 million in April, $202.89 million in May, and the highest amount of $297.48 million in June.
