As Federal Government planned to remove subsidy without fixing the local refinery, if they go ahead with the plan, Nigeria will experience inflation that have never happened anywhere in the universe.

We are in for another protest, may be this will finally cripple APC government.

But your Obi also made it known in several debates that he would remove subsidy if he wins.

Subsidy regime should be abolished. Some other sectors will improve if removed. Naira should strengthened.

They can also reduce VAT to 5% or lower.

We'll all benefit from its removal in the long run.

Na so. Igbos are more rugged and resilient, yet weaklings are mocking us for voting bad people. We will know who will cry when it starts. Igbos are rooted in the informal sector, those salary earners will be worse hit

This is exactly one of the reasons I want Obi to withdraw his case. The economy and every other sector of the country is already in a mess. If Obi managed to take up the presidency, the Yoruba press would immediately put all our economic woes blame on him claiming he isn't a guru like their person. They fear to blame the current government. Didn't you see how they heaped all the blame on Emefiele and hardly blamed the commanda in chief. Let the APC finish up the job of building a prosperous country which Tinubu promised. However we are tired of the blame games, no more blames

No. These reasonable countries have low/no VAT rates:

Canada- 5%

UAE- 5%

Hong Kong- 0%

Qatar- 0%

Taiwan- 5%

Singapore- 7%

China- Between 6% and 13%

I repeat VAT should be reduced or totally abolished on locally produced goods.

Inflation will be brutal if subsidy is removed but it has to be done. If 2 policy reforms Tinubu has suggested are implemented - subsidy removal and removal of multiple exchange rates - the immediate impact will be inflationary.

To curb inflation, the CBN will need to hike interest rates even further which will add to the economic difficulties.

At the same time, the incoming government is facing a fiscal crisis as debt expense takes up almost all of tax revenue. This will call for higher tax revenues and lower government spending. Again, these are immediately contractionary reducing economic growth in the short-term.

The government may choose to not implement any of its reforms instead and just drift aimlessly for the next few years. I think it's a problem that the APC government has its power base effectively in the North (the South West is an aberration in the South). There's not much stomach for deregulation amongst Northern politicians so it will be interesting to see how Tinubu navigates through this.

All I can say is I am glad I don't live in Nigeria.

Re: Subsidy Removal Will Make Nigeria Experience Inflation That Have Never Happened by hedonido: 1:29pm On Mar 29, 2023
Any talk of subsidy removal without first ensuring that local refining is more than adequate to meet our domestic fuel needs sounds very foolish and vexatious. Fix local refining capacity and ensure that locally refined fuel is same or even cheaper than the price of fuel currently, BEFORE you remove subsidy. Thankfully we don't have to import crude to supply the refineries. I don't know why this is rocket science.

All the armchair 'experts' talking rubbish need to be lynched. You can't tell us rubbish about the purported gains of subsidy removal without first addressing local refining. The hike in fuel price that will happen with subsidy removal as things stand is simply impractical and would completely destroy this country.

So, Canada, Taiwan, Singapore, UAE, are not serious countries

China's VAT average is 9.5%. You said serious countries must have their VAT at 15% and above.

Hmmm...

Subsidy payment will destroy Nigeria economy finally if we don't act now. Our loan profile is growing and China is even tired to give us more.

We are borrowing to pay subsidy on only one product out of several.

Petro is very important but it is not food.
