An Econometric Analysis Of The Nature And Causes Of Inflation In Nigeria, J. O. Asogu
An Econometric Analysis Of The Nature And Causes Of Inflation In Nigeria, J. O. Asogu
Economic and Financial Review
In this econometric revisitation of inflation in Nigeria, an extensive review of the literature and evidence has been attempted culminating in a specification of the various alternative hypotheses on the causes of inflation. While not ruling out the validity of several theories of inflation in the Nigerian situation, empirical evidence indicates that increases in real domestic produce or supply situation, especially food, and law cost of production of consumables, tended to ameliorate inflation. On the other hand, increases in government expenditure, especially deficits, tend to increase the money supply and worsen depreciation of the exchange rate, which in turn intensify …

A Review Of The Federal Government Fertilizer Subsidy Scheme In Nigeria, Grace O. Evbuomwan
Economic and Financial Review
This paper reviews the fertilizer subsidy scheme in Nigeria. Using descriptive statistics and econometric methods, the study shows that farmers' access to fertilizer has improved since the commencement of the subsidy scheme in 1976 and the direct involvement of the Federal Government in the procurement and distribution of the input. This also coincided with the period when remarkable improvements were recorded in the yield of virtually all the major crops, especially staples. The econometric analysis confirms that a positive correlation exists between fertilizer supply/consumption and output, while the level of subsidy on the input influences its consumption (utilization) and tends …

Nigeria's Insurance Industry In 1989, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn
Economic and Financial Review
The growth in the number of insurance companies in Nigeria between 1988 and 1989 revealed the preference of the investors in the industry towards non-life underwriting business. In addition, only one out of the six new entrants into the industry was jointly owned. The unattractiveness of the industry to foreign investors was partly due to the perceived decreasing prosperity in the business as well as the unfavourable investment climate of the Nigerian economy. With many of the insurance companies now scheduled to be privatised, greater efficiency is expected in their operations, particularly among those previously controlled by the government. In …

Foreign Private Investment Survey In 1988, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn
Economic and Financial Review
Although the 1988 survey on Foreign Private Investment showed that there was an increase in the net capital inflow through the Nigerian/foreign jointly-owned companies, a closer look revealed that the 22 per cent increase in the level of the gross inflow of capital over the 1987 level was merely due to naira exchange rate depreciation of 222 per cent between December 1987 and December 1988. Net investments by alien entrepreneurs continued to be dominated by unsettled liabilities to their overseas trading partners while the relative share of equity investments was relatively small, inspite of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) which …

Developments In The External Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1990, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn
Economic and Financial Review
The external sector came under more severe pressure during the fourth quarter of 1990. This was attributed to developments in both foreign exchange receipts and outpayments. While foreign exchange receipts declined by 9.1 per cent, outpayments rose by 23.4 per cent from their levels in the third quarter. As a result of these developments, the overall movement in foreign exchange, which showed a slight surplus in the third quarter of 1990 vis-a-vis the fourth quarter of 1989, turned around to a deficit of $390.3 million in the fourth quarter of 1990. This is significant since it was the only quarter …

Important rughlights of the report include the fact that Insurance business was prosperous in 1987 as the income of insurers rose significantly faster than their expenditures. However, the prosperity affected the companies in the nonlife business more as the premium income of life insurance companies declined sharply in 1987 during which period their expenditure also increased. In terms of ownership, the prosperity accrued mainly to wholly indigenous non-life companies most, as these companies dominated the more lucrative aspects of insurance business in 1987. Another important point in the report is the fact that minimum paid-up capital stipulated in the Insurance …
