Nigeria: Wider trade deficit and absent inflows = further pressure for the naira

  • Nigeria's trade deficit widens to US$9.7bn in Q1 21

  • Imports unfazed by CBN FX restrictions and depreciating naira; oil exports decline despite higher production and prices

  • The persistent decline in reserves despite higher oil prices shows that balance of payment pressures persist
