Nigeria's Rising Debt Stock-The Panagora Blog
Nigeria’s debt rises by N2.3trn, hits N31trn – DMO
The Debt Management Office on Wednesday released Nigeria’s
total public debt stock as of June 30, 2020, and put the country’s entire debt
at N31trn, indicating an increase of N2.38trn within a space of three months.
Nigeria’s total public debt stock includes the debt stock of
the Federal Government, the 36 states, and the Federal Capital Territory.
Just as the country’s public debt stock, the DMO also
released reports on Nigeria’s Actual External Debt Service Payments in Second
Quarter, 2020, as well as Nigeria’s External Debt Stock as of June 30, 2020.
For the country’s public debt stock as of June 30, 2020, the
DMO said, “The data shows that in naira terms, the total public debt stock
which comprises the debt stock of the Federal Government, the 36 state
governments and the FCT stood at N31.009trn or $85.897bn.
“The corresponding figures for March 31, 2020, were
N28.628trn or $79.303bn.”
The debt office explained that the increase in the debt stock
by N2.381trn or $6.593bn was accounted for by the $3.36bn budget support loan
from the International Monetary Fund, new domestic borrowing to finance the
revised 2020 Appropriation Act.
It said this includes the issuance of the N162.557bn Sukuk,
and promissory notes issued to settle claims of exporters.
The debt office added, “The DMO expects the public debt stock
to grow as the balance of the new domestic borrowing is raised and expected
disbursements are made by the World Bank, African Development Bank and the
Islamic Development Bank which were arranged to finance the 2020 Budget.
