Nigeria Used 99% of Revenue for Debt Servicing in Q1 2020

Nigeria Used 99% of Revenue for Debt Servicing in Q1 2020
Share Share Share Share Send as Email

The borrowing rate and indebtedness of Nigerian Government  is increasingly alarming. According to the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy (MTEF/FSP) report recently released by the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, N943.12 billion was spent on debt servicing alone between January and March 2020. This represents 99.217% of the FGN retained revenue of N950.56 billion for the same period.

Out of the N943.12 spent on debt servicing, N594.23 billion was spent on domestic debt while N129.51 billion was spent on foreign debt with N219.38 billion spent on interest on ways & means.

A deep review of the report showed that the actual amount spent on debt servicing rose by 38.4% (N261.74 billion) in Q1 2020 when compared to the budgeted amount for the period.

Whereas, FGN Retained revenue declined by 52% (N950.56 billion) when compared to the prorated amount of N1.966 trillion for the same period.

Government revenue has been greatly affected by the decline in oil prices, as oil is its main source of income. The crash in oil prices, resulted in downward reversal of the 2020 budget oil benchmark from $57 per barrel to $28 per barrel.

Of the N950.56 FGN retained revenue, oil contributed N464.03 billion. Oil revenue suffered a 30% (N195.37 billion) shortfall compared to N659.4 billion budgeted amount. Whereas, non-oil revenue contributed N269.41 billion representing a shortfall of 40% compared N451.28 billion budgeted amount.

Despite the significant drop in FGN revenue, there was only a slight change in the expenditure column according to the report. Total expenditure amounted to N2.373 trillion, a 2.4% shortfall compared to N2.428 trillion budgeted amount for the period.

The shortfall in overall expenditure is largely due to 71.3% shortfall in capital expenditure. The actual capital expenditure amounted to N139.7 billion compared to N487.27 billion budgeted. On the other hand, the recurrent expenditure enjoyed a 16% rise to N2.09 trillion actual amount from N1.8 trillion budgeted amount.

The actual Personnel costs also rose by 3.2% to N729.56 billion from N706.91 billion budgeted amount for the period.

Considering that FGN spent over 99% of its Q1 2020 revenue on debt servicing in the period, when economic impact of Covid-19 has not really hit Nigeria and the oil market, one can only assume that the situation might be worse than is being forecasted.

N2.951 trillion (27.31%) was allotted for debt servicing, N4.938 trillion (45.7%) was allotted to recurrent (non-debt) expenditure in the recently passed 2020 revised budget.

This implies that Debt servicing and recurrent expenses will gulp over 73% of the budget, which will be mainly financed by loans. The budget deficit was estimated at N4.17 trillion.

  • The current situation is not sustainable: Ndume

With the Government not bent on expense reduction especially recurrent expenditure, as can be seen in the recently passed revised budget, which was increased rather reduced, Nigeria’s debt profile is bound to continue on it’s for an upward trajectory.
