Here’s Proof Naira Is Onto Its Longest Gaining Streak In The Parallel Market

It’s official, the Naira is currently on track to ride on its longest running gaining streak against the dollar in the parallel market. From hitting a low of N490 against the dollar the naira has since gained by about N40 to close at N454 on Monday. If it sustains this gain this week, then we are likely going to witness the longest streak of gain against the dollar in recent times. Analysts had expected the naira to cross the N500 band by October following a downward spiral that coincided with the ban of some commercial banks by the CBN as well as a spike in demand for dollars to meet up school fees for the fall. The liquidity bit so hard it was nearly impossible to buy dollars on the black market for the same price within a space of an hour.

Are Gencos generating more debt than power?

The Nigerian electricity industry has been under a lot of pressure. Gas supply is low and power generation has been severely affected. More worrying is that they are owned hundreds of billions of naira in debts by its customers. N93 billion of that debt is owed by Ministries and Department of Government (MDA’s). That debt cascades down the value chain of the power sector with most of it owed to power generating companies. The power sector value chain is such that power is generated by the Gencos and sold to the Marker Operators (MO), who then wheel the power through the grid (run by transmission Company) to the Discos and then to consumers. A reverse flow starts when the customers pay their bills to the Discos and then the Discos pay the Market Operators (MO) who then pay the Gencos and then the Gencos pay the gas suppliers. For the Gencos, the above schematic is now more on paper than in reality. They hardly get enough gas to generate electricity and even when gas is
