This is not the first time that @GovernorObaseki will be offering real solutions to the FG on how to sustain real growth in Nigeria. How Obaseki is working his talk to grow the local economy: i. Supporting the private sector investment in oil palm.

Obaseki, despite the increased revenue you're given in Abuja and the boost in the IGR, what have you done? Sir, look at states like Lagos, Ogun and others, what is your govt doing to reduce hunger in the land? Your govt of looting lack d moral standard to question the FG. Failed!

When I first saw this video of the new Zimbabwean central bank governor, John Mushayavanhu, on WhatsApp groups, I thought it was a fake video generated through Artificial Intelligence. A very prominent African called me today asking if it was a genuine video or an AI-generated fake video. It is actually real; that is what the central bank governor of Zimbabwe, John Mushayavanhu, said. From now on, I will call it the World Bank ZiG 🤣🤣🤣 But on a serious note, did the WorldBank advise the Zimbabwean central bank to come up with this comical idea of a currency that can’t be used for paying for fuel, passports, car registration number plates, customs duty, airline tickets, and more? I think if it is true, then my respect for the WorldBank has fallen to the floor because it was a really foolish idea, and it will fail for the same reasons the other five foolish attempts on new currencies failed! But until the WorldBank confirms, I will give them the benefit of the doubt because the WorldBank DOESN’T deal with monetary policy; it is the IMF that deals with monetary policy. The WorldBank's advice is targeted at fiscal matters, so it would be weird for the WorldBank to send an official to the Zimbabwean central bank to advise on monetary policy when the IMF Africa has an office in Harare, Zimbabwe. IMF Africa issues article IV statements on monetary issues and has a Zimbabwe representative whose last recommendations are in the public sphere. We all want a local Zimbabwean currency, and we all want it to succeed, but it would be silly for us to think that a currency can succeed without the backing of the required economic fundamentals. The ZiG is not backed by these economic fundamentals, so I think it is important for the WorldBank to pronounce on this matter. Perhaps it knows the secret place where the ZiGold is being kept. Who knows? It could be in a far, far place with an advisor from the Bermuda Triangle!

Dr Kamau Thugge giving some colour to the decision taken in yesterday's Monetary Policy Committee meeting. · The adjustment of the Discount Window from 300.0bps to 75.0bps above the benchmark is a crucial move · This means that the Discount Window rate is now aligned with the upper limit of the interest rate corridor given that the width of the Interbank Rate corridor has been adjusted from +/- 150.0bps to +/- 75.0bps around the benchmark · Essentially, the Central Bank has addressed the misalignment of having a corridor in place while the Discount Window rate trends above it · The Central Bank is expected to conclude the on-site inspection of banks who are not transmitting the lower yields to end consumers by June 2025 after which banks found to be in contravention will be subject to fines

Powell: The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the federal reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public rather than following the preferences of the president This is about whether the fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.

#WATCH | Delhi | Economist Ved Jain says, "... IMF has projected that in 2025 and 2026, India will be growing at a rate of 6.5% compared to the global rate of 3%. Two important factors in the IMF report are that it will be crucial for India that private and foreign investment in India grow... The other is ease of doing business, which is also being improved in India... With the US policy on tariffs getting tougher, India will have to adjust their tariff structure to align with global expectations... When an economy grows at the fastest rate compared to the global rate, individuals' purchasing power will increase... Indian policy should continue to encourage private and foreign investments..."

♦️Must Watch♦️ Advocate Ngcukaitobi reveals that there were 48 public submissions, and only 2 supported the VAT increase. More than 98% of the public submissions rejected the VAT increase. In his submissions, he points out that in the affidavit, the EFF alleged that the rights likely to be impacted are the rights to substantive equality, particularly for the poor, who stand to be hit the hardest by the unlawful hike. He further argues that the committee itself concluded that the proposed VAT increase, which would raise VAT to 16%, will have a detrimental impact on lower- and middle-income households and will exacerbate inequality and the cost of living due to its regressive nature. The committee also stated that most stakeholders strongly opposed the VAT hike, particularly because of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
