DMO In The News
The Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA) is a World Bank/International Monetary Fund tool for best practices in public debt management which the Debt Management Office (DMO) adopted and has implemented over the past several years. It is an annual exercise anchored by the DMO with the participation of key FGN agencies namely the Central Bank of Nigeria, Budget Office of the Federation, Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, National Bureau of Statistics, and the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning.
Recent DSA Reports have highlighted the need for more revenues to keep the public debt sustainable. The recently released DSA Report, which is for the year 2022, also emphasizes the need for the government to grow revenues. The DMO’s Director-General noted that some of the recent policies of the present administration such as the removal of subsidies to manage expenditure and the focus on revenues through the appointment of a Special Adviser to the President on Revenue are positive steps for public debt sustainability.

Friday, 05 May 2023 08:31
Published in
DMO In The News
Frequently Asked Questions
Terms
- Tenor: Forty (40) years
- Moratorium (on Principal only): Three (3) years
- Interest Rate: 9% p.a.
- Repayment: Amortizing over thirty-seven (37) years
Holder of the Securities
- The Securities will be issued to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) by the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN).
- The Securities will not be issued to the public by the FGN to raise funds.
Benefits of the Securitization
It will achieve the following:
- Improve debt transparency as the securitized Ways and Means Advances will now be included in the public debt statistics.
- It will reduce the Debt Service Cost as the new Interest Rate is 9% p.a. compared to the Monetary Policy Rate plus 3% which translates to 21.0% p.a. (MPR – 18.0% + 3%) currently being charged on the Ways and Means Advances.
- The large savings arising from the much lower Interest Rate will help reduce the deficit in the Budget and expectedly, the level of New Borrowings.
Principal Repayments and Interests
Provisions for Interest on the securitized Ways and Means Advances (starting from 2023) and principal repayments starting from year four (4), will be made in the Annual FGN Budgets.
Other Clarifications
- The securitization of the Ways and Means Advances does not involve new money being given to the FGN as the CBN had already provided the funds to the FGN.
- Based on statutory provisions, the approval of the Senate and the House of Representatives are required for the securitization. Therefore, implementation will be upon receipt of the approval of the House of Representatives.

Press Release: N100 Billion Sovereign Sukuk Issuance For 2022 Closes on a High Note
Monday, 05 December 2022 07:28
Published in
DMO In The News
The Debt Management Office (DMO) is pleased to inform the public of the successful conclusion of the Issuance of N100 Billion Sovereign Al ’Ijarah Sukuk. The Offer for N100 Billion opened on November 21, 2022 and was supported by wide public sensitization to encourage subscription from diverse investors, particularly the retail investors. The initial Offer size of N100 billion was upsized to N130 billion due to the over 165% Subscription level. The Sukuk was issued at a Rental Rate of 15.64% per annum. This brings the total Sovereign Sukuk Issuance to N742.557 billion as at date.
The level of subscription is evidence of investors’ confidence in the use and impact of Sukuk in the construction and rehabilitation of road infrastructure across the country. The proceeds of the 2022 Sovereign Sukuk, like the previous Sukuk Issue Proceeds, will be used solely for the construction and rehabilitation of key road projects through the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing and the Federal Capital Territory Administration.
The DMO appreciates all the investors (Retail Investors, Banks, Pension Fund Administrators, Assets/Fund Managers, Insurances Companies, Ethical Funds, Takaful Operators/Non-Interest Banks, Stockbrokers, Government Agencies, High Net Worth Individuals, Trustees and Unit Trusts) who have continued to support the Federal Government’s infrastructure development efforts through Sukuk financing. The strong participation of retail investor, ethical funds and non-interest financial institutions in this Sukuk Offering, attest to the fact that the Government’s objective of promoting financial inclusion through admitting more retail investors and ethical funds into the financial system is being achieved.
The DMO on its part, will work to sustain the laudable achievements recorded so far in the use of Sukuk Issue Proceeds for the construction and rehabilitation of Nigerian roads, and thereby, continue to enhance ease of commuting and doing business, safety on our roads, job creation, economic growth, and prosperity of our nation.

PRESS RELEASE
NIGERIA'S TOTAL PUBLIC DEBT STOCK AS AT JUNE 30, 2022
The Total Public Debt Stock, representing the Domestic and External Debt Stocks of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN), the thirty-six (36) State Governments and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), was N42.84 trillion (USD103.31 billion) as at June 30, 2022. The comparative figures for March 30, 2022, was N41.60 trillion (USD100.07 billion).
The Total External Debt Stock was USD40.06 billion (N16.61 trillion) as at June 30, 2022, which was about the same level as the figure for March 31, 2022, which stood at USD39.96 billion (N16.61 trillion). Over fifty-eight percent (58%) of the External Debt Stock are concessional and semi-concessional loans from multilateral lenders such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Afrexim and African Development Bank and bilateral lenders including Germany, China, Japan, India and France.
The Total Domestic Debt Stock as at June 30, 2022, was N26.23 trillion (USD63.24 billion) due to New Borrowings by the FGN to part-finance the deficit in the 2022 Appropriation (Repeal and Enactment) Act, as well as New Borrowings by State Governments and the FCT.
The Total Public Debt to GDP as at June 30, 2022, was 23.06% compared to the ratio of 23.27% as at March 30, 2022, and remains within Nigeria’s self-imposed limit of 40%. While the FGN continues to implement revenue-generating initiatives in the non-oil sector and block leakages in the oil sector, Debt Service-to-Revenue Ratio remains high.
