Concerned over this, some experts and analysts in the financial sector doubt if the current borrowing model to support budget deficits is sustainable in the long run.
According to the Debt Management Office (DMO), as of March 2021, Nigeria’s public debt stock is N33.107tr or $87.230bn. This approved $6.18bn borrowing could shoot the figure to about $93.413bn or N35.510tr.
The Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had, during the 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in June, expressed concern that African countries growth prospects were further compromised by debt burden.
