“Furthermore, the advent of COVID-19 vaccines has continued to discount the impact of Omicron on oil demand while the effect of the Iran nuclear deal is expected to push up the nation’s oil supply to the global market. This is expected to provide more support to Nigeria’s earnings.”
He said sustained supply concerns had helped to shore up global oil prices above $80 per barrel while the Central Bank of Nigeria had continued to step up its intervention programme in the forex market as the nation’s gross external reserves continued to dwindle.
He also said the naira had continued to witness increased pressure due to excess liquidity.
The Executive Director, Corporate and Investment Banking, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Eric Fajemisin, said Stanbic IBTC, through its business advisory services, had continued to help its customers make good investment decisions and provide them with business financing.
The Executive Director, Business and Commercial Clients, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Remy Osuagwu, said the organisation had continued to partner with the CBN in its various intervention programmes such as the Real Sector Fund, Anchor Borrowers Programme, and the Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending among others.
The Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, Olumide Oyetan, said Stanbic IBTC, through its investment management vehicle, had continued to provide avenues for investors to profitably invest their funds short and long term while ensuring the safety of invested funds.
The Executive Director, Client Solutions, Stanbic IBTC, Bunmi Dayo-Olagunju, said the economic ecosystem could improve during the election cycle if digital technologies could be leveraged effectively.
