Again, NNPC Cautions Against Panic Buying, Says 30-Days PMS Sufficiency Intact

As the nationwide supply and distribution of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, continue to improve, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has once again called on motorists to shun panic buying of the product.

In filling stations monitored across several states, including Lagos and the FCT, the queues have since thinned out, a development that will keep improving daily in other States.

The company wishes to state that at the moment, it has over 1.5 billion litres stock of PMS, which is equivalent to over 30 days sufficiency.

The NNPC is also collaborating with relevant downstream agencies, such as the Nigeran Midstream & Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), labour unions in the sector and security operatives to address hoarding and other unwholesome practices.

IMF Seeks Increase in Banks’ Capital Requirement in West Africa

Citing rising level of non-performing loans at 15.7 per cent and commercial banks’ borrowing from their central banks at nine per cent of liabilities in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has strongly advocated increase in banks’ capital adequacy requirements to maintain sound financial stability for regional economic growth. The Fund observed that while the average capital adequacy ratio of banks (9.3 percent) was above the minimum required (8 percent) at the end of June 2014, it was however lower than the minimum required in half of the countries in the region, just as the level of non-performing loans reached 15.7 percent of total loans.
