9 Fiscal policy in 2013 Higher nominal spending, but lower than inflation and consolidating if GDP grows as projected At NGN11.25trn, budget by the State Governments and the 2013 FGN budget spending is 6.3% higher than in FGN Spending Proposals NGN 4.987trn 4.857trn State Government Spending Proposals NGN 6.259trn 5.724trn Total NGN11.246trn trn Spending as % of GDP The nominal increase in spending is below the increase in output. In other words, the share of government spending in total expenditure looks set to fall Furthermore, allowing for inflation, projected at 9.76%, announced plan show lower than inflation spending plan Expansion cannot be ruled out as Actual spending has typically outstripped budget proposals withdrawals continue to be made from Excess Crude Account (ECA) 9

10 Expansionary Fiscal Policy Fiscal Policy likely to be expansionary Given production observed in 2011, effective budget benchmark price of oil is US$108 Budget benchmark for FG budget raised by National Assembly and assented by the president from US$75/barrel proposed by the Federal Government to US$79 Possibility of FG acceptance of raise in interest of reducing policy uncertainty Announced State Budgets already showing 9% uplift compared to 2012 which is at per with inflation rate for January Applied across all States, Implies aggregate State-level spending rising from NGN5.74trn to NGN6.24trn 10

11 Fiscal Policy 2013 Will oil prices and volumes support spending plans Production is the critical budget assumption for 2013 FGN Proposals assume 2.53mbd Production figures for 1 st 3qtrs of 2012 show production at approximately 2.1mbd Revenue projections in the revised budget amount to US$72.952bn Key question Is the revenue assumption realistic? Using 2.1mbd as oil output Total revenue amounts to US$60.553bn production a shortfall of 32% At this level of production, price would have to be US$108/barrelto realize the revenue assumptions Price assumption may also be suspect given changing dynamics of oil market lower American imports (EIA forecasts that US imports will decline to approximately 6mbd by 2014), new discoveries and investments in Shale Oil Political uncertainty is the only basis for keeping oil prices where they are US$90 may be the new cap for oil prices!!! Fiscal Cliff approaching for Nigeria!!!!!!!!!!! 11

12 2013 FGN Budget-Allocation to housing declined Budget allocation to the housing sector declined by 7.7% from N26bn in 2012 to 24bn in We have an housing deficit of about 12 to 16 million units it is the intent of the government to allow for more private participation the ability of the Federal Government to put structures in place to ensure that Nigerians are not exploited is however daunting However, the effect of this will trickle down to the Real estate sector as more private involvement will result to less government bureaucracy 12

18 2013 FGN Budget-Fiscal Consolidation Policy with Inclusive Growth The fiscal Consolidation Policy which aims at minimizing deficit without accumulating more debt that the government started adopting since 2012 will help to strengthen our finances. the sinking fund of N100 billion is being established for repaying Government s maturing debt obligations and to curb the rising domestic debt profile. annual domestic borrowing has been reduced from N852 billion in 2011, N744 billion in 2012, and to N727 billion in the fiscal consolidation would have a greater impact on lowering interest rates and unlocking credit than easing monetary policy in the medium term would. The amount of capital expenditure in the total budget is increasing as recurrent expenditure is gradually reducing Modest governance cost saving The government aim at Reducing the cost of governance by reviewing the recommendations aimed at rationalizing Agencies of the Federal Government with overlapping functions and was taken into account in the preparation of the 2013 Budget 18

19 On Stability the reduction in inflation The attempt made by government to cut down on expenditure would complement the efforts of the monetary policy authority at maintaining stability in the economy. The pursuit of single digit inflation remains the primary objective of monetary policy Policy context in 2013 defined by Possible (likely?) expansion of fiscal policy, Structural Inflation is also likely to pose a challenge in 2013 the task of monetary policy in this context is to prevent aggravation of price pressures Attracting capital inflows (at least, using market instruments to prevent capital outflows) Striking a right balance for the exchange rate to ensure reserve protection Furthering reform of the financial system It is clear from the tone and content of MPC communiques that monetary policy is unlikely to be accommodating 19

23 Sovereign Wealth Fund- better late than never Now with US$1 billion, Nigeria s SWF accounts for 0.05% of a US$5.3 trillion global SWF market, and 0.03% of specific oil and gas related global SWFs (valued at US$3.1 trillion). Nigeria s SWF is the fifth largest of eight oil funds in Africa, but continues to rank low amongst other oil producing states.

26 What might 2013 look like? 26

27 Global Environment: 2013, a better year aheadalthough with possible intermittent landmines While a tentative recovery is visible in the global economy, a number of fiscal-related issues in the developed countries remain and are likely to impact growth in the coming months the budget impasse in the United States sequester could change the direction austerity survival UK looses top credit rating from Moody s China becomes world s top oil importer as "Shale revolution reduces United States need to import crude Prospect for commodity prices likely to depend on activity and climatic conditions Food prices likely to remain strong as climatic conditions expected to remain uncertain and prone to excesses 27

28 .2013 a better year ahead- Activity growth in Nigeria will be better than in 2012 driven by recovery in the non-oil sector. Nigeria s GDP growth this year 2013 projected by the NBS to be 6.75%, compared to 6.58% actual growth in 2012 and a Q4 growth of 6.99%. Non-oil sector continues to be the major driver of the economy expanding slower at 7.88% in 2012 compared to 8.80% in Non-oil activities in 2012 fell as a result of the effect of subsidy removal, flooding and insecurity caused by Boko Haram. The Non-oil sector is however in recovery mode as output grew from 7.55% in Q to 8.21% in Q Oil sector growth decelerated to -0.91% in 2012 form 0.14% in

32 Inflation unlikely to be a problem, exchange rate to stay within band Inflation should be less of a problem. Inflation inched down to 9% in the month of January from 12% December 2012 and is expected to remain as a single digit. Exchange rate expected to remain stable especially in the face of Crude Oil Prices which should be above the budget benchmark and improving reserves accretion Sectors to look out for in 2013 include: Agriculture- Large Scale commercial Wholesale and Retail(FMCG) Spurred by rising incomes and the development of the railways Oil and Gas-especially post PIB Manufacturing Against the backdrop of an improvement in the power sector Telecommunications Infrastructure(transport, Power) -Energy reforms likely to be key Commercial Real Estate Against the backdrop of organized retail and rising income concentration 32

33 2013 FGN Budget: Drivers of Economic Growth Development of Non-Oil Sectors Reform Agenda Continuing progress and investment in the Energy sector Progress in the power Sector Passage of Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) Assumption that No further progress on Price Deregulation (budgetary provision of NGN971bn made in 2013 budget; unlike 2012 when no provision was made) Agricultural Sector Budgetary allocation to the Agricultural sector improved by 3.8% from N78bn in 2012 to N81bn in 2013 Resolution of security issues and subsidence of effect of flooding. Nigeria is looking to become more self-reliant again for food security, and increase local content in our manufacturing processes. Movement to market philosophy Evidence of increasing investment (especially Fertilizer) and access to credit Improvement in Infrastructure- An early passage into law would have afforded the country ample time to plan ahead and take advantage of the dry season for the implementation of capital projects. Changing Spending Pattern Women and Youth empowerment- Recovery in private consumption Squeeze on household consumption from fuel price increases absent in 2013 Strong diaspora inflows increase in 2012 to US$24bn placed Nigeria recipient of 5 th larger inflow Expansionary fiscal policy stance in prospect 33

34 FGN s priority Sectors Policies geared towards import substitution -measures that took effect from January 2013 include: Agriculture NIRSAL intervention fund of USD 500million to be invested in the agricultural sector Fiscal Policies implemented in 2013 include: Sugar Rice Raw Sugar-levy:50%, duty:10% Refined Sugar-levy: 60%, duty: 20% Machinery and Spare parts imported for the establishment of local sugar manufacturing industries shall attract zero percent import duty. Brown and Polished Rice levy:100%, duty:10% 34

35 FGN s priority Sectors Transportation Commercial and Aircraft Spare parts to attract an import duty rate of zero percent. Import VAT-0 % Import duty rate on Completely Knocked Down components for Mass Transit Buses have been reduced from 5% to 0% Solid Minerals Machinery and equipment imported for the development of solid minerals to attract an import duty rate of zero percent. Import VAT-0 % 35

43 Women Empowerment to improve Nigeria s human development indicator- N3bn set aside N3 billion to be disbursed to participating MDAs as incentives for them to deliver on integrating women into 5 pilot ministries Agriculture, Health, Communication Technology, Water Resources and Works. These ministries are signing MOUs with the Ministry of Women Affairs to deliver on specific services for women. The Ministry of Agriculture-ensure that 5 million women farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs receive mobile phones to be able to access information on agro-inputs through an e-wallet scheme. The Ministry of Health-scale up the ongoing Save a Million Lives initiative; give back health and hope to one-third of the pool of young girls and women who have been waiting for Vesicovaginal Fistula (V.V.F) repairs through surgery and economic rehabilitation. The Ministry of Works-scaling up the number of women that are employed in public works programmes as contractors, workers and project evaluators, setting itself a target of 35% for women in FERMA rehabilitation work. In every geopolitical zone, at least 3 roads leading to areas where women s socio-economic activities are concentrated, will be prioritised and completed. To support these activities, we have set aside the sum of N3 billion to be disbursed to participating MDAs as incentives for them to deliver on these targets. Our focus on empowering women is part of our agenda for improving the country s human development indicators. In this regard, we shall not relent in our efforts to improving access and quality in our health and education sectors. 43
