The economy of EuroArea contracted by 1.2% in first quarter, 0.6% in second and 0.4% in third quarter of 2013 but improvements were seen on quarterly basis. The slow 48.57 48.85 48.41 pace of recovery in Euroarea had remained a drag to global economic recovery with unemployment reaching another high of 12.1% as at November 2013. 47.38 45.98 48.04 47.03 46.84 45.48 45.23 44.55 43.61 Significant improvement was observed in employment data in US, UK, China and Japan with persistent decline in unemployment rate.

Inflation rate which measures changes in general price Nigeria’s Crude oil production figures exhibited a declining trend in the year level exhibited downward trend across various countries in 2013. In US, 2013 owing to increasing wave of crude oil theft and oil pipeline inflation rate came down from 2% in February to 1.1% in April and 1.2% in vandalization, a development which culminated in frequent declaration of September, 1% in October and 1.2% in November. In UK, inflation rate force majeure and production shut down for several periods during the year. declined from 2.7% in January to 2.4% in April, 2.1% in November and 2% in Available data from OPEC website indicated a declining trend from December of 2013. Also, in Euro-Area inflation rate fell from 2% in January to 2.036mbpd in January to 1.871mbpd in June and 1.821mbpd in November 1.2% in April, 0.7% in October and 0.8% in December. Similar lower rates were 2013 well below the nation’s 2013 budget benchmark of 2.53mbpd of crude observed in China, South Africa and Nigeria. oil production. Consistent drop in Nigeria’s crude oil production figures exert Expansion in economic activities recorded in US, China and India helped sustain the average price of crude oil above the US$100 mark for the year 2013 despite increasing shale oil production from the US. The movement in oil prices responded to changes in demand from the oil consuming countries particularly US and China and the supply shocks from oil producing countries as well as periods of crisis in Syria and some other Middle East oil producing regions. According to OPEC reports, the total world crude oil demand increased from 88.9million barrel per day in 2012 to 89.0mbpd in Q2 of 2013 downward pressure on the nation’s external reserves as crude oil exports constitute well over 80% of the country’s source of foreign exchange earnings. This factor coupled with the persistent use of the reserves by CBN to stabilize the naira against dollar brought about significant drop in foreign reserves. Nigeria’s foreign reserves opened at US$44.337billion on January 01, 2013, rose progressively to US$47.385bilion in February, US$48.85billion in April but maintained declining trend thereafter to as low as US43.61billion as at December 31, 2013. and 90.3mbpd in Q3 of 2013 while supply also increased from 89.6mbpd to Also, inflation rate was at single digit during the year under review nose 90.1mbpd in Q2 of 2013 and 90.4mbpd in Q3 of 2013 leaving a marginal diving from 9.5% in February to 8.4% in June and 7.8% in October but closed excess supply of 0.1mbpd as at third quarter of 2013. The OPEC basket price at 8% in December and 8.52% on the average for the year. The single digit rose steadily within the first two months of the year reaching the year high inflation rate well below the benchmark interest rate of 12% implied positive of US$114.94 a barrel in February but declined sharply between March and real return on fixed income investment and this had been one of the April to a year low of US$96.35 a barrel in April this rose again steadily to enticements for increased flow of foreign portfolio investment into the above the US$100 mark to close the year at US$107.94 a barrel.

Industrial scale theft and sabotage caused oil output to fall consistently from 2.064mbpd in December 2012 to 1.821mbpd as at November 2013. Inflation rate averaged 8.52% in 2013 and at single digits for the 12 months of the year. Naira was relatively stable against dollars at official market within CBN band of N155/$ ±3% Naira depreciated significantly against the US dollar at the BDC and parallel markets thus created unprecedented appetite for round tripping and high volatility. Nigeria’s external reserves opened the year at $44.337 in January rose progressively to $48.486 in June due to rising crude oil price and increased flow of funds from offshore investors but declined steadily to $43.610b on Dec 31st 2013 upon its use to stabilise the naira. CBN mandated commercial banks to pay minimum of 30% MPR on savings deposit (i.e. 3.6%) compared to traditional range of 1.7-2.5% per annum. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS FOR INVESTMENT CASE IN 2014 • Nigeria’s single digit inflation rate (2013 average of 8.52%) implies positive real return on fixed income instruments. • Nigeria’s benchmark interest rate of 12% still remains highest among emerging and frontier markets this will continue to attract significant flow of foreign portfolio investments. • CBN naira stability policy stance will continue to support flow of foreign investment into the country. • Privatization of power sector is a confidence booster to positive economic prospects in 2014 with increased flow of funds into the sector. • Nigeria’s stable GDP growth-6.81% as at Q3 of 2013 remains second to China on global scale supported by enhanced revenue generation other than oil sector this makes Nigeria an investment hub in Africa. • NSE stock market performance for 2013 of 47.19% is significantly higher than return on investment in other financial assets-TB (10.512%), FGN Bond (12-13%). • NSE new trading platform has enhanced transparency in stock market transactions thus reducing manipulation and boosting investors’ confidence. • Regulatory frame work and oversight functions had been strengthened and enhanced to stimulate confidence in the stock market. Also, advent of market makers had brought about price stability. • The stock market will continue to benefit from increased government spending and sustained oil price level above budget benchmark of $76/ barrel which will increase economic activities thus improving the liquidity in the economy. OUTLOOK FOR 2014 CBN introduced 50% CRR rate on public sector deposits in Nigerian Banks effective August 7 NIBOR CALL peaked at 55.83% on Sept 19th, a fallout of CBN’s new CRR policy on public sector deposits, but moderated down subsequently within 10.50-14.5%. Nigeria’s Bonny Light Crude traded US$105.50-118.81/barrel well above 2013 budget benchmark of $76. Bond Yields traded within 10.95-13.8% higher than 032-3.86% in US, 0.46-3.61% in UK Foreign and local investors’ participation in NSE market transaction from January-November stood at 50.94% and 49.06% respectively. Power : FGN successfully sold power GENCOs & DISCOs to private investors to pave way for effective power availability, N50b set aside in escrow account for drawing by GENCOs as buffer against any unsold generated power Overall the direction of global economic growth is positive though at a slow pace US Fed tapering decisions to influence financial market volatility and global growth Nigeria’s Bonny Light crude price to remain well above the 2014 budget benchmark of $77.5/barrel Projection for Nigerian stock market is largely positive for 2014 most especially in Q1 & Q2 while some retracements may occur in Q3. Proposed GDP rebasing is expected to increase the size of the economy thus enhancing available investment opportunities Bond market activities to increase as comparable higher yields will remain a toast for global fund managers Power sector reform and privatization to increase flow of funds into the economy Ahead of 2015 elections, with some taking place between Q2 & Q3 of 2014 there will be increased spending from government and politicians thus increased systemic liquidity Following from above, CBN may further tighten monetary policy especially the use of CRR hike Exchange rate volatility to continue and trade above the CBN +/-3% band above official rate especially at BDC and Parallel markets As the premium between official and parallel exchange rates widen, devaluation of naira may become inevitable RISKS TO WATCH IN 2014 US Fed to commence tapering its bond purchase programme, thus put temporary volatility in stock market prices at every time that Fed is about to meet. Heightened political climate in Nigeria will increase investment risks thus may constrain investment opportunities. DANGOTE GROUP kick-started building of private refinery CBN may further tighten monetary policy. PIB dream still in pipeline for effective reform of the sector Financial Sector: FBN, GTB and Access bank and others raised Eurobonds to finance operations at 6.25-7.5% to insulate their operations from CBN new CRR policy on public sector deposit. Nigeria’s crude oil production may drop further if leakages remain unchecked. Following from above, further decline in foreign reserves will exert pressure on naira, thus prompting devaluation of the currency.
