Fuel Scarcity: ‘Petrol Price Will Rise To ₦1,200/Litre, Naira To Hit ₦1,550/$’
An economist and the Chief Executive Officer of Financial Derivatives Company Limited, Mr. Bismarck Rewane, has projected that petrol prices in Nigeria could reach N1,200 per litre in the near future.
In his November 2024 economic outlook, Rewane also predicted that Brent crude could trade at $70 per barrel by December and that inflation might rise to 34%. He forecasted a potential appreciation of the Naira to N1,550/$ by January 2025.
According to ThisDay, Rewane shared these insights during the November edition of the Lagos Business School’s Breakfast Session titled ‘Democracy on Trial! Trump – Going Back to the Future.’
He highlighted that there is no economic rationale for the Naira to trade at less than 30% of its fair value within the next 12 months.
“According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, crude oil prices next year will average $74 per barrel, which could push petrol prices to N1,200 per litre,” he stated.
He added that global oil prices and logistics distribution costs will play a significant role in determining petrol prices, noting that higher petrol prices could help curb smuggling while official fuel exports to neighboring countries might boost foreign exchange revenue.
Rewane cautioned that while the Dangote Refinery has been viewed as a game-changer for Nigeria’s oil sector, it is not the ‘silver bullet’ many had hoped for.
“The refinery’s pricing strategy is dictated by global crude prices and operational costs,” he explained.
While it would ensure supply and availability, it would not necessarily stabilize prices, as the refinery operates on a cost-plus margin model.
Additionally, economist Bismarck Rewane has made several projections for Nigeria’s economy, including potential increases in petrol prices and the exchange rate adjustments. He forecasted that petrol prices might reach N1,200 per liter, while the naira could appreciate to N1,550/$ by January 2025, influenced by global oil prices and market dynamics. Rewane also noted that while the Dangote Refinery would boost local oil availability, it may not stabilize prices due to its cost-based pricing model.
