Highlights of the 2019 Budget Proposals
\nBackground and Context of the 2019 Budget
\n\uf0a7 The Nigerian economy emerged from recession in Q2 2017, and the macroeconomic environment has stabilized and is recovering gradually.
\n\uf0a7 This has renewed confidence in the country\u2019s growth prospects.
\n\uf0a7 The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), which underpins government\u2019s economic recovery actions, is the basis for medium term fiscal strategy to achieve sustained economic growth, diversification and social inclusion.
\n\uf0a7 Some of the underlying assumptions and targets in the ERGP have been updated to reflect current realities\/projections.
\n\uf0a7 The Nigerian economy emerged from recession in Q2 2017, and the macroeconomic environment has stabilized and is recovering gradually.
\n\uf0a7 This has renewed confidence in the country\u2019s growth prospects.
\n\uf0a7 The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), which underpins government\u2019s economic recovery actions, is the basis for medium term fiscal strategy to achieve sustained economic growth, diversification and social inclusion.
\n\uf0a7 Some of the underlying assumptions and targets in the ERGP have been updated to reflect current realities\/projections.
\nSummary of 2018 Budget Performance
\n1. GDP Growth Rate (%) 3.5*** 1.81%**
\n2. Oil Production (mbpd) 2.3 1.95
\n3. Oil Price (US $) 51 74+
\n4. Inflation Rate (%) 12.4 11.28*
\n5. Exchange Rate (N\/$)(CBN Official Rate) 305 305.95
\n6. Revenue (N\u2019trillion) 7.16 (Prorata \u2013 5.38) 2.84
\n7. Expenditure (N\u2019trillion) 9.12 (Prorata \u2013 6.84) 4.59
\n*Inflation rate for September, 2018: As at November 2018, inflation rate is 11.28%
\n** GDP growth for Q2 2018 was 1.50%.
\n*** Subsequently revised to 2.1%
\n+ Bonny Light price average as at September 2018.
\n\uf071 As at the end of the third quarter, Federal Government\u2019s actual aggregate revenue wasN2.84 trillion, which is 40 percent higher than 2017 revenue. This includes:
\n\uf0a7 Oil Revenue of N1.51 trillion(101 percent higher than 2017);
\n\uf0a7 Company Income Tax (CIT) of N500.37 billion (23 percent higher than 2017);
\n\uf0a7 Value-Added Tax (VAT) of N100.37 billion (5 percent higher than 2017); and
\n\uf0a7 Customs Collections of N229.62 billion (11 percent higher than 2017).
\n\uf071 The overall revenue performance is only 53 percent of the target in the 2018 Budget largely because some one-off items such as the N710 billion from Oil Joint Venture Asset restructuring are yet to be actualized and have been rolled over to 2019.
\n\uf071 Of the total appropriation of N9.12 trillion, N4.59 trillion had been spent by 30th September, 2018 against the prorated expenditure target of N6.84 trillion. This represents 67% performance.
\n\uf071 Debt service and the implementation of non-debt recurrent expenditure, notably payment of workers\u2019 salaries and pensions are on track.
\n2018 Capital expenditures
\n\uf0a7 Capital releases only commenced after the signing of the 2018 Budget on 20th June, 2018. As at 14th December 2018, a total of N820.57 billion had been released for capital projects.
\n\uf0a7 Spending on capital has been prioritised in favour of critical ongoing infrastructural projects in the power, roads, rail and agriculture sectors.
\n\uf0a7 Implementation of the 2018 Capital Budget will continue into 2019 until the 2019 Budget is passed into law.
\nKey initiatives to improve FGN Revenues
\n\uf0a7 The Federal Government has also sustained its efforts to improve public financial management through the comprehensive implementation of the:
\n\uf0fc Treasury Single Account (TSA),
\n\uf0fc the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS) and
\n\uf0fc the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
\n\uf0a7 President has directed that immediate action be commenced to restructure the Joint Venture Oil Assets so as to reduce government shareholding to 40 percent and that this exercise must be completed within the 2019 fiscal year.
\n\uf0a7 The Department of Petroleum Resource shall, within three months, complete the collection of past-due oil license and royalty charges.
\n\uf0a7 Following Mr. President\u2019s directive:
\n\uf0a7 The Ministry of Finance, working with all the relevant authorities, has been authorized to take action to liquidate all recovered, unencumbered assets; within 6 months.
\n\uf0a7 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.
\n\uf0a7 Finally, amongst other revenue generating initiatives, Mr. President has directed that work should be immediately concluded on the deployment of the National Trade Window and other technologies to enhance Customs collections efficiency from the current 64 percent to up to 90 percent over the next few years.
\n\uf0a7 Following Mr. President\u2019s directive:
\n– The Ministry of Finance, working with all the relevant authorities, has been authorized to take action to liquidate all recovered, unencumbered assets; within 6 months.
\n– 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.
\n\uf0a7 Finally, amongst other revenue generating initiatives, Mr. President has directed that work should be immediately concluded on the deployment of the National Trade Window and other technologies to enhance Customs collections efficiency from the current 64 percent to up to 90 percent over the next few years.
\nKey assumption and Macro-framework of 2019 Budget
\n\uf0a7 Oil Production 2.3 mbpd
\n\uf0a7 Oil Price $60\/b
\n\uf0a7 Exchange Rate N305\/$
\n\uf0a7 Inflation Rate 9.98%
\n\uf0a7 Nominal Consumption N119.28 trillion
\n\uf0a7 Nominal GDP N139.65 trillion
\n\uf0a7 GDP Growth Rate 3.01%
\n\uf0a7 Notwithstanding the recent softening in international oil prices, the considered view of most reputable oil industry analysts is that the downward trend in recent months is not necessarily reflective of the outlook for 2019.
\n\uf0a7 However, we will closely monitor the situation and will respond to any changes in the international oil price outlook for 2019.
\n\uf0a7 Mr. President has directed the NNPC to take all possible measures to achieve the targeted oil production of 2.3 million barrels per day.
\nApproach to the 2019 Budget
\n\uf0a7 The 2019 Budget proposal 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
\n\uf0a7 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.
\n\uf0a7 As with 2016, 2017 and 2018 Budgets, the 2019 Budget has been prepared on the Zero Based Budget (ZBB) Principles.
\n\uf0a7 The 2019-2021 Medium Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF), Medium Term Sector Strategies and proposed 2019 Budget reflect many of the reforms and initiatives in the ERGP, which is our roadmap to economic recovery and a more sustainable growth.
\n\uf0a7 Projects are linked to government policies and overarching strategic priorities.
\n2019 Budget revenue Proposals
\n\uf071 Distribution of expected FGN revenue are as follows:
\n\uf0a7 Oil Revenue \u2013 52.9%
\n\uf0a7 CIT \u2013 11.5%
\n\uf0a7 VAT \u2013 3.3%
\n\uf0a7 Customs \u2013 4.3%

\n\uf0a7 Domestic Recoveries & Fines \u2013 2.9%
\n\uf0a7 Others* – 1.7%
\nNote:
\nWe have again, reflected projected proceeds from oil assets ownership restructuring as revenues for transparency & monitoring.
\nExpected funds have been earmarked to fund critical capital projects as this was not achieved in 2018.
\nHighlights of the 2019 Budget Expenditure Proposal (Expenditure framework)
\n\uf0a7 2019 FGN spending (exclusive of GOEs\/BT Loans) is projected to be N8.83 trillion, less than FY2018 approved budget by 3.22%.
\n\uf0a7 Recurrent (non-debt) spending expected to rise by 34.17%, from N3.52 trillion in FY2018 to N4.72 trillion (reflecting increases in salaries & pensions including provisions for implementation of a new minimum wage)
\n\uf0a7 Capital Expenditure (Inclusive of Transfers, GOEs Capital & Project-tied loans) as % of FGN Expenditure is 30%
\n\uf0a7 At N2.14 trillion, debt service is 24.24% of planned spending
\n\uf0a7 Provision to retire maturing bond to local contractors decreased by 36.84% from N190 billion in FY2018 to N120 billion…
\n\uf0a7 Personnel costs (MDAs & GOEs) account for 52% of non-debt recurrent planned spend
\n\uf0a7 11% for Pensions (SWV & CRF)
\n\uf0a7 9% for Overheads (MDAs & GOEs)
\n\uf0a7 7% allocated to Social Investment Programme
\n\uf0a7 1% to Basic Health Care Provision Fund
\n\uf0a7 9% to other service wide votes (including GAVI\/Immunization)
\n\uf0a7 3% as SWV provisions for the Power Sector Recovery Programme
\n\uf0a7 8% Transfer of GOEs Operating Surplus.
\nKey Highlights of the Expenditure Framework
\n\uf0a7 Some provision for possible minimum wage increase
\n\uf0a7 Government is set to redress years of underfunding of pensions and gratuities
\n\uf0a7 Significant provision for National Health
\n\uf0a7 1% of CRF goes to the Basic Health Care Fund
\n\uf0a7 Provision for counterpart funding for immunization (GAVI)
\n\uf0a7 Overall, there is significant provision for investment in Human Capital over the medium term
\nFinancing Budget Deficit \u2013 Highlights
\n\uf0a7 Overall budget deficitof N1.859 trillion in 2019 represents 1.33% of GDP.
\n\uf0a7 Projected deficit within threshold stipulated in the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) 2007.
\n\uf0a7 Budget deficit is to be financed mainly by borrowing N1.649 trillion.
\n– Domestic sources N824.82 billion
\n– Foreign sources (gradual shift away from commercial to more concessionary financing)
\nN824.82 billion
\nMinimum Wage
\n\uf071 Government committed to an increase in the Minimum Wage
\n\uf071 Provision has been made for this in the 2019 Budget
\n\uf071 A High-powered Technical Committee has been set up to advise on ways to:
\n\u2022 ensure that the attendant wage adjustments for those already over the Minimum Wage can be funded without increasing the level of borrowing
\n\u2022 implement these consequential adjustments in such a manner as to minimize their inflationary impact
\n\uf071 The recommendations of the committee will be captured in the Finance Bill to be presented to the National Assembly together with the Minimum Wage Bill
\nMDA capital Expenditure Allocations in the 2019 Budget
\n\uf071 We have allocated N2.28 trillion for capital spending, inclusive of capital in statutory transfers.
\n\uf071 For comprehensiveness and transparency, the expenditure plans of the top 9 GOEs, as well as Multi-lateral and Bi-lateral project-tied loans have been integrated into the 2019 – 2021 Medium Term Fiscal Framework.
\n\uf071 With the inclusion of N275.88 billion representing capital for the top-nine GOEs and N556.02 billion for Multi-lateral\/Bi-lateral project-tied loans, the aggregate capital budget is N3.12 trillion. This represents 30 percent of the total FGN proposed expenditure for 2019.
\n\uf071 In order to get full value for monies expended by the Government over time and to avoid duplication and waste, our emphasis will continue to be on completion of existing projects. Accordingly, provisions have been made to carry over projects that are not likely to be fully funded under the 2018 budget to the 2019 capital budget.

\n\u25aa The 2019 Budget of Continuity is intended 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.
\n\u25aa The Budget also reflects the key execution priorities of the ERGP, namely Restoring Macroeconomic Stability; Agriculture and Food Security; Energy Sufficiency (in Power and Petroleum Products); Transportation Infrastructure; and Industrialization (focusing on SMEs).
\n\u25aa Government will continue to create the enabling environment for private sector to increase their investment and contribute significantly to job creation and economic growth.
\n\u25aa Already, diversification efforts are yielding positive results with significant growth in the non-oil sector (2.32% growth in Q3 2018, up from 2.05% in Q2 2018).
\n\u25aa 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.
\n\u25aa Our aim is to take all measure necessary to ensure that we grow rapidly while maintaining fiscal sustainability
