International Monetary Fund says Nigeriaās foreign reserves dropped to a record low of $24 billion in 2024 from $33 billion last year.
IMFās latest country report for Nigeria disclosed this, signalling potential challenges for Africaās largest economy.
It noted that the first half of 2023 witnessed a surplus in the current account, yet there was a notable decline in reserves.
āThrough 2024ā25, the financial account will likely deteriorate, with no projected issuance of Eurobonds, large Fund and Eurobond repayments of $3.5 billion, and portfolio outflows.
āHence, despite a current account surplus, officially reported reserves are projected to decline to $24 billion in 2024 before increasing again to $38 billion in 2028 as portfolio inflows resume,ā the report stated.
But Central Bank of Nigeria data showed Nigeriaās foreign reserves stood at $33.12 billion as of February 8, 2024.
