  2. OUTLINE Public Presentation of the 2019 Enacted Budget

  3. Background & Context • The 2019 budget proposal was presented to the National Assembly (NASS) by Mr. President on December 19, 2018; passed by the NASS and transmitted to the President on May 9, 2019. • After the usual analysis of the budget as passed by NASS, the President signed the budget into law yesterday May 27, 2019. Today, I am here to present details of the signed budget. • The 2019 budget is designed to further reposition the economy on the path of higher, inclusive, diversified and sustainable growth, and to continue to lift significant numbers of our citizens out of poverty.

  4. Background & Context …/2 • The macroeconomic environment has stabilized and is recovering gradually, and thus renewed confidence in the country’s growth prospects. • The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), which underpins government’s economic recovery actions, is the basis for medium-term fiscal strategy to achieve sustained economic growth, diversification and social inclusion. • Some of the underlying assumptions and targets in the ERGP have been updated to reflect current realities/projections.

  5. Summary of 2018 Budget Performance *Inflation rate for December, 2018; As at April 2019, inflation rate is 11.37% ** GDP growth for Q1 2019 was 2.01%. + Bonny Light price average FY 2018 SOURCE: 2018 Appropriation Act; NBS Q-Reports; OAGF.NNPC

  6. Summary of 2018 Budget Performance …/2 • As at the end of the year, Federal Government’s actual aggregate revenue was N3.96 trillion, which is 55 percent of the budget, although higherthan 2017 revenue. This includes: • Oil Revenue of N2.32 trillion (77% of budget and 64% higher than 2017); • Company Income Tax (CIT) of N637.25 billion (80% of budget and 17% higher than 2017); • Value-Added Tax (VAT) of N148.92 billion (72% of budget and 15% higher than 2017); • Customs Collections of N303.91 billion (94% of budget and 16% higher than 2017); and, • Independent Revenues of N454.34 billion (54% of budget and 54% higher than 2017). • The overall revenue performance is only 55 percent of the target in the 2018 Budget partly because some one-off items such as the N710 billion from Oil Joint Venture Asset restructuring and N320 billion from revision of the Oil Production Sharing Contract legislation/termsare yet to be actualized and have thus been rolled over to 2019.

  7. Summary of 2018 Budget Performance …/3 • Of the total appropriation of N9.12 trillion, N6.938 trillion was spent. This represents 79% performance. • Debt service and the implementation of non-debt recurrent expenditure, notably payment of workers’ salaries and pensions, were on track.

  8. Key Initiatives to improve FGN Revenues • The Federal Government has also sustained its efforts to improve public financial management through the comprehensive implementation of the: • Treasury Single Account (TSA), • the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS) and • the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS). • President has directed that immediate action be commenced to restructure the Joint Venture Oil Assets so as to reduce government shareholding to not less than 40 percent and that this exercise must be completed within the 2019 fiscal year. • The Department of Petroleum Resource are now concluding efforts on the collection of past-due oil license and royalty charges.

  9. Key Initiatives to improve FGN Revenues …/2 • Following Mr. President’s directive: • The Ministry of Finance, working with all the relevant authorities, has been authorized to take action to liquidate all recovered, unencumbered assets; • Given the improved oil prices and production levels, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is to immediately commence the recovery of all outstanding obligations, including those due from Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) (a subsidiary of NNPC), which it had agreed to pay since 2017. • Finally, amongst other revenue generating initiatives, Mr. President has directed that work should be concluded on the deployment of the National Trade Window and other technologies to enhance Customs collections efficiency.

  10. GLOBAL OUTLOOK: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND PROSPECTS Public Presentation of the 2019 Enacted Budget

  11. Background to the 2019 Budget: Global Environment Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to continue to grow rising from 3.0% in 2018 to 3.5% and 3.7% in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Global economic recovery is precarious, projected to slow down from 3.6% in 2018 to 3.3% in 2019.Howevera rebound to 3.6% is projected for 2020

  12. Background to the 2019 Budget: Global Environment …/2 • The global growth forecast reflects a combination of waning cyclical forces and a return to tepid potential growth in advanced economies; a precarious recovery in emerging markets and developing economies. • The tension associated with the trade dispute between the two largest world economies (USA and China) has consequential impact on global growth prospects. Importantly, tariffs on $200 billion of US imports from China will be a drag on US imports from China • Increased volatility in global market amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran in the Gulf, which threaten to disrupt supply and price.

  13. Background to the 2019 Budget: Global Environment …/3 • Growth in advanced economies is expected to decline from 2.2% in 2018 to 1.8% in 2019, and 1.7% in 2020. • In the Euro area, growth is projected to slow-down from 1.8% in 2018 to 1.3% in 2019. However expected to rebound to 1.5% in 2020.

  14. Background to the 2019 Budget: Global Environment …/4 • The baseline projection of about 1.2% and 1.4% growth in the United Kingdom in 2019–20 is surrounded by prolonged uncertainty about the Brexit outcome. • In the United States, growth is expected to decline to 2.3 % in 2019 and soften further to 1.9 % in 2020 with the unwinding of the fiscal stimulus. • Economic growth in China, despite fiscal stimulus and no further increase in tariffs from the United States relative to those in force as of September 2018, is projected to slow on an annualized basis in 2019 and 2020.

  15. The Nigerian Economy: Implications of Global & Domestic Developments Public Presentation of the 2019 Enacted Budget

  16. Background to the 2019 Budget: Domestic Environment • The macro-economy has been largely stable. Growth has increased from 0.82% in 2017 to 1.93% in 2018 and 3.01% is expected in 2019, with the continuing implementation of the ERGP. • Real GDP increased from 1.89% in Q1 of 2018 to 2.01% in the first quarter of 2019. The strongest first quarter growth since 2015. • Significant growth in the non-oil sector: 2.47% growth in Q1 2019, up from 0.76% in Q1 2018 • Diversification efforts continue; the contribution of the non-oil sector to GDP increased from 90.4% in Q1 2018 to 90.9% in Q1 2019.

  17. Background to the 2019 Budget: Domestic Environment …/2 • As employment growth usually takes some time to recover after recession, National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) data shows that unemployment and underemployment remain high in Nigeria. • However, we can expect reduction in the rate of unemployment, as we continue to implement the policies and programmes of the ERGP which are directed at creating more diversified and inclusive growth. • Mr President has indicated that the focus of his second term will be employment generation.

  18. Background to the 2019 Budget: Domestic Environment …/3 • Relative peace and stability have been attained in the fight against insurgency in parts of the North-East, with economic activities recovering. Government is taking steps to address issues of rising insecurity in other parts of the country. • Agricultural performance hascontinued to improve. Agriculture sector grew in real terms from 1.91% in Q3 2018 to 2.46% in Q4 2018 and to 3.17% in Q1 2019. • Headline inflation has largely declined every month since January 2019 albeit increasing slightly in April 2019 to 11.37% from 11.25% in March 2019.

  19. Background to the 2019 Budget: Domestic Environment …/4 Domestic Developments .../2 • Militancy in the Niger Delta has generally abated. Production increased from an average of 1.91mbpd in Q4 2018 to an average of 1.96mbpd in Q1 2019. • Oil Production was affected by breaches of pipelines, maintenance and technical issues. • Mr. President has directed the NNPC to take all possible measures to achieve the targeted oil production of 2.3 million barrels per day.

  23. Key Assumptions & Macro-Framework of 2019 Budget …/2 • Crude oil prices declined early in the year from an average of US$71.3 per barrel in 2018 to US$60.5 per barrel in January 2019. • Prices have risen steadily recently to about US$69 per barrel currently for Nigeria. • The consecutive rise is explained by continuing strengthening oil market fundamentals, improved market sentiment, and commitments to restore global oil market stability. • The World Bank projects crude oil prices to moderate slightly from their current levels and average $66 per barrel in 2019.

  24. Approach to the 2019 Budget ERGP, MTEF/FSP, MTSS • The 2019 Budget seeks to continue the reflationary & consolidation policies of the 2017 and 2018 Budgets respectively, which helped put the economy back on the path of growth • On the expenditure side, allocations to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of Government were guided by the 3 core objectives of the ERGP, which are, (i) Restoring and Sustaining Growth; (ii) Investing in our People and (iii) Building a Globally Competitive Economy. • As with 2016, 2017 and 2018 Budgets, the 2019 Budget has been prepared on the Zero Based Budget (ZBB) Principles. • The 2019-2021 Medium Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF), Medium Term Sector Strategies and approved 2019 Budget reflect many of the reforms and initiatives in the ERGP, our roadmap to economic recovery and a more sustainable growth. • Projects are linked to government policies and overarching strategic priorities.

  25. Overview of the 2019 Budget as Passed by NASS and signed into Law by Mr. President yesterday, Monday, 27th May, 2019. Public Presentation of the 2019 Enacted Budget

  26. Adjustments Made by the National Assembly • Executive revenue assumptions were generally approved and adopted by NASS, except for unexplained increases totalling N31.5 billion on some non-oil revenue lines. • NASS increased the budget size from N8.83 trillion to N8.92 trillion, translating to an increase of N90.33 billion • This has resulted in an overall increase of N58.83 billion in deficit. Inexplicably, NASS reduced the proposed borrowing from N1.649 trillion to N1.605 trillion, thus creating an overall unfunded deficit of N102.83 billion. To fully fund the budget, the level of borrowing may therefore have to increase. • Allocations for some executive projects based on critical appraisal and linked to the ERGP were reduced and a large number of new projects, mainly constituency type projects, were introduced. 3.2 2.8 3

  27. Adjustments Made by the National Assembly …/2 • Mr. President intends to engage the leadership of the ninth National Assembly, as soon as it emerges, to effect any amendments necessary to ensure he delivers on his electoral promises. • Mr. President also intends to seek the support of the leadership of the NASS for a smoother, faster budget process going forward and their collaboration to return to a January-December fiscal year. 3.2 2.8 3

  47. Conclusion …/2 • Already, diversification efforts are yielding positive results; the contribution of the non-oil sector to GDP increased from 90.4% in Q1 2018 to 90.9% in Q1 2019. • However, Nigeria faces significant challenges with respect to revenue generation and this is being tackled vigorously. Key reforms will be implemented with increased vigour to improve revenue collection and expenditure management. • Mr. President is committed, and has directed that all measures necessary be taken to ensure that we grow rapidly while maintaining fiscal sustainability. • To ensure that this happens, the President set up a Projects and Programmes Committee which has concluded its work. The initiatives developed by this committee will be rolled out as the President enters his second term
