Nigeria's Public Debt
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
  • Nigeria’s total public debt reaches N87.91tn ($114.35bn), reflecting a marginal 0.61% increase, with factors including a decrease in external debt
  • Debt Management Office attributes changes to the redemption of a $500m Eurobond and IMF loan repayment amid fiscal considerations

Nigeria’s total public debt has surged to N87.91tn ($114.35bn), according to a statement released by the Debt Management Office (DMO) in Abuja on Wednesday.

This amount encompasses both domestic and external debts incurred by the Federal Government, the 36 states, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The N87.91tn total debt stock reflects a marginal increase of 0.61% compared to the June figure of N87.38tn.

The DMO attributed this trend to the decrease in external debt from $43.16bn on June 30 to $41.59bn on September 30. Simultaneously, there was a relatively moderate increase of N1.80tn in domestic debt.

Explaining the factors behind the changes, the DMO stated, “External debt decreased due to the redemption of $500m Eurobond. It also decreased due to the payment of $413.959m as the first principal repayment of the $3.4bn loan obtained from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2020 during Covid-19.”
