The Nigerian Federal Government, facing revenue challenges and foreign exchange shortages, is engaging in negotiations with the World Bank for a $1.5 billion loan.
Finance Minister Wale Edun highlights the need to enhance foreign exchange supply and ease pressure on the exchange rate. President Bola Tinubu’s implemented reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies, aim to attract international support, despite causing challenges like a surge in living costs and a 50% depreciation of the naira against the dollar. The government is also considering tapping into the eurobond market to address financial needs.
