Important Deductions from 2018Q2 GDP Numbers Oil sector records contraction in 2018Q2 (last Contraction: Q1-2017) This was largely driven by a fall in oil production from 2mbpd in first quarter 2018 to 1.85mbpd in second quarter Manufacturing expansion slowed to 0.68 in Q2, from 3.39 in Q1 2018 Impact Infrastructure Deficit Multiplicity of Taxes Logistics issues still persist -Apapa gridlock are said to be drivers of the slowed growth in the sector Agriculture records deceleration in growth to 1.19 in 2018Q2 from 3 in 2018Q1 Impact of Herdsmen-Farmer crises Climate change and general productivity challenges in the sector. Telecoms registers second expansion from 1.88 in 2018Q1 to 11.54 in 2018Q2 Last expansion: Q1-2017
Important Deductions from 2018Q2 GDP Numbers Trade still in negative territory, but improved marginally from -2.57 in 2018Q1 to 2.14 in 2018Q2, Pressure on consumers due to weak purchasing power driven by inflation, o high cost of goods and services, o low disposable income, o delays in payment of salaries in the public sector, o naira exchange rate effect and high import duties on many consumer items. Real Estate sector still negative territory, but improved from -9.40 in 2018Q1 to 3.89 in 2018Q2, the major drivers of this sector are; Purchasing power and high cost of building materials Government bureaucracy in land titles and building approval Low awareness about and inadequate market data to guide buying decision High cost of fund and short tenure Anti-corruption war On balance, trend in big sectors indicate cause for worry, despite sustained recovery in output The major implication of this slow expansion of output to both foreign and domestic investment is ambiguous as the economy is still fragile and vulnerable

Trade Performance o The total value of Nigeria's merchandise trade was N6.6 Trillion in the second quarter of 2018, which was a -8.89 contraction from the figure recorded in Q1, 2018 (N7.2 Trillion) and a 14.56 growth from Q2, 2017 (N5.7 Trillion). The contraction of total trade in the reviewing quarter was mainly driven by the decline in both imports and exports. o The trade balance in Q2, 2018 was a surplus of N2.4 Trillion, which is an 8.36 increase from the figure in Q1, 2018 (N2.2 Trillion) and a 399.82 increase from the figure in Q1, 2017 (N471.48 billion). o Total Imports value was N2,106.7 billion in Q2, 2018, -16.3 lower than Q1, 2018 (N25 Trillion) and -19.9 lower than Q1, 2017 (N2,631.65 billion). o Total export value amounted to 4.5 Trillion in Q2, 2018, representing a contraction of -4.9 over Q1,2018 (N4.7 Trillion) and a growth of 43.8 over Q2, 2017 (N3.1Trillion).
Debt Profile
Debt Profile o The total public debt which encompasses the domestic and external debt stock of the federal and 36 state governments and the Federal Capital Territory, stood at N22.38 trillion or $73.21 billion as of June 30, 2018. This is indeed scary. o In Nigeria, Africa s largest economy, the current state of affairs, of a growing public debt profile is scary, particularly since 2015 when the Muhammadu Buhari administration came into power. According to the Debt Management Office (DMO), Nigeria s total debt has increased by about 90 in almost three years from about N12.6 trillion in December 2015 to about N22.71 trillion as at March 2018 o Government needs to be cautious in growing the national public debt. In as much the effort to rebalance the debt away from domestic debt to external debt is commendable; the critical focus should be on getting value for money for every dollar or naira borrowed. Borrowing should not be incurred to finance consumption.

Opportunities
Identifying Opportunities from GDP Numbers In thinking about Opportunities, we identify sectors of the economy along the following lines: 1. Sector Size: Which are the largest sectors, based on Contribution to GDP? 2. The Pace of Sector Growth: Which are the fastest growing sectors?
Sector Size We adopt the following criterion for delineating the economy s sectors by size into Large, Medium and Small sectors, based on their respective contributions to GDP: Large Sectors: >5 of GDP Medium Sectors: 1 5 of GDP Small Sectors: 0 1 of GDP This criterion reflects the prevailing condition of significant concentration of activity in the economy at present
