FG’s deficit spending declines 15% to N908.13bn

The Federal Government’s (FG) deficit spending saw a 15 percent reduction month-on-month (MoM), falling to N908.13 billion in November 2024 from N1.07 trillion in October 2024.
This information was disclosed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in its November Economic Report, which noted that the decline was linked to a decrease in capital spending, attributed to delays in the release of capital allocations.
The CBN said: “The overall fiscal balance of the FGN narrowed in November 2024.
“Provisional data showed that the overall deficit contracted by 15 per cent relative to the preceding month but was 18.72 per cent above the target.
“The contraction reflected lower capital spending due, largely, to delay in capital releases.”
The CBN also said that FG’s retained revenue rose to N820 billion while its expenditure fell to N1.7 trillion due to lower capital spending recorded during the review period.
According to the CBN, “FGN retained revenue rose during the review period owing, largely, to higher receipts from FGN’s share of VAT pool and exchange gain.”
