Nigeria Owes IMF, World Bank, Others $31.98bn
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Nigeria’s bilateral and multilateral debts stood at $31.98 billion as of September 2020, according to the latest figures released by the Debt Management Office  (DMO).

The outstanding debts are not only owed to bilateral and multilateral institutions but also include commercial loans  from Eurobonds and Diaspora Bond.

Bilateral debts are those arising from country-to-country loans or loans secured by Nigeria from financial institutions belonging to other countries while multilateral debts are from global or regional financial agencies.

Mutilateral institutions in the World Bank Group being owed by Nigeria are the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). Nigeria also owes the International  Monetary Fund (IMF), the African Growing Together Fund and African Development Fund which are under the African Development Bank (AfDB).

Other multilateral institutions being owed include the European Development Fund, Arab Bank for Economic Development and Islamic Development Bank, among others.

The bilateral debt stock are those owed to the Exim Bank of China, Agence Francaise Development of France and Japan International Cooperation Agency.

A breakdown of the  DMO figures indicate that more than half of the $31.98 billion debt are owed multilateral institutions, including the  IMF, World Bank and AfDB.

Out of $31.98 billion outstanding debt,  $10.74 billion belongs to the International Development Association (IDA) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) which are affiliates of the World Bank Group.

The debt stock also shows that Nigeria owes the IMF $3.45 billion.

The IMF had in May last year released $3.4 billion in emergency financial assistance under the Rapid Financing Instrument (RFI) to support the  federal government’s’ efforts in addressing the severe economic impact of the COVID-19 shocks and the sharp fall in oil prices.

Nigeria also owes $2.24 billion to Africa Growing Together Fund and African Development Fund; entities of the AfDB Group.

The country is also indebted to four international lenders, including  the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA); Islamic Development Bank (IDB); International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and European Development Fund (EDF) $298.12 million.

Nigeria also owes five countries (China, France, Japan, India and Germany) $4.07 million; accounting for 12.74 per cent of the nation’s external debt.

A total of $3.26 million is owed to the Export Import (Exim) Bank of China; Agence Francaise Development ($502.38 million); Japan International Cooperation Agency ($78.20 million); Exim Bank of India ($37 million) and Kreditanstalt Fur Wiederaufbua ($193.26 million), even as Nigeria holds $10.86 billion in Eurobonds and $300 million in Diaspora bond.

Based on the figures released last Thursday by the DMO, Nigeria’s total public debt stock, which comprises the debt stock of the Federal Government of Nigeria  (FGN), the 36 state governments and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) jumped from N31.009 trillion as of June 30, 2020 to N32.223 trillion ($84.574 billion) by September 30, 2020.
