Financial experts have advised Nigeria’s apex financial institution, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stabilise the foreign exchange for the productive sector and sustain its interventions to curb inflation in the coming months and years.

This statement was said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Saturday.

Sheriffdeen Tella, a professor of Economics at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago-Iwoye, Ogun, said the apex bank must ensure that foreign exchange was always available for domestic producers due to the dependency of the economy on imports.

“Making it easily available for businesses locally is crucial because our economy is an import dependent one. Inadequate foreign exchange will result at most times high inflation leading to exorbitant commodities,” Mr Tella said.

He further urged the federal government to improve the security situation in many farm settlements in order to boost food output.

“Entrenched peace and security is needed for farmers to cultivate, particularly now that the rains are here. Having a good security climate is crucial to achieve a better harvest and the food induced inflation will abate,” he said.

Also, Bright Eregha, who lectures Economics at the Pan Atlantic University, Lagos, said the inflation would dip with the CBN various interventions.

“The apex bank intervention especially the Anchor Borrowers’ scheme if sustained over time will lead to food security. As this policy will drive economic growth and create employment opportunities for the teaming youth,” Mr Eregha said.

He urged the federal government to tackle the logistical headwinds because it is one of the factors triggering rise in inflation.

NAN reports the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in its Consumer Price Index said headline inflation dropped to 17.38 percent in July. This was 0.37 per cent lower than when compared with 17.75 per cent achieved in June.

Similarly, in July 2021, the food index fell by 0.80 basis point to 21.03 per cent from 21.83 per cent in June.
