FDC ECONOMIC BULLETIN – JULY 17, 2017 (Re: Rising Public Sector Debt, a Ticking Time Bomb)

Nigeria’s history of financial delinquency and rising domestic debt levels has pushed the FGN to seek the securitization and restructuring of financial obligations worth approximately N2.7trn ($8.8bn).

Through the issue of promissory notes, outstanding obligations, dating as far back as 1994, to government contractors and suppliers, pensions and salary arrears as well as debt to state https://tramadolbest.com governments are to be addressed.

In the attached bulletin, an in-depth analysis of this proposed debt scheme is proffered.
