Nigeria, other African oil exporters’ll lose $34bn – IMF

Nigeria, other African oil exporters’ll lose $34bn – IMF

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected that Nigeria and other African oil producing countries will lose an estimated $34 billion to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The shortfall in revenue, according to the IMF, will come from the the fall in global crude oil prices.

Abebe Selaisie, IMF’s director, African Department, disclosed this at the Africa ministerial roundtable on COVID-19 impact on the energy sector in Africa.

The fund noted that African governments would be under intense budget pressure and rise in debt burden, adding that such burden would be higher among oil exporting countries.

It said if the pandemic persists, it could transform profoundly the demand for energy.

“The shock is certainly crippling fiscal resources in the short run, but it should not be allowed to wipe out the achievements in terms of human development over the last two decades,” Selassie stated.

He added, “The recovery on the continent depends crucially on investing in renewable energy which offers huge potential in terms of badly needed jobs and acquiring new technological capabilities.

“It would also help fight climate change and power the development of Africa.”

The IMF noted that since the 2014 oil price collapse, production and investments of most African oil exporters had been on the decrease.

The institution blamed the decline on structural issues, governance and security concerns in several countries especially in Nigeria and Libya.
