Fitch Ratings downgrades Nigeria’s credit rating

Nigeria’s Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) has been lowered from “B” to “B-” by Fitch Ratings.

Despite elevated crude prices in 2022, the downgrade was attributed to the expenses linked to servicing government debt and deteriorating external liquidity, among other elements. As stated in the Fitch report, “Diminished oil production and the costly subsidy on petrol have absorbed most of the fiscal advantage of high oil prices in 2022 and will persist in exerting pressure on already low government revenue levels.” Public finances would improve if subsidies were removed in 2...
