From speculation on US interest rates to China’s slowdown, it is clear that the global economy is in a state of flux. Amid falling oil prices, Khazakstan has already devalued its currency and the warning to other oil-producers is clear.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), however, has gone the other way and has maintained a policy of backing the Naira. Many foreign commentators have derided the policy, but many more business insiders – as well as President Buhari – support the CBN’s current strategy. Who is right, what is the ‘politics’ behind it, and what do ordinary Nigerians need to know?

Meanwhile, concerns about how Nigeria progresses to diversify its economy to an export led one while pursuing inclusive growth carry on apace. From the small business owner and the market trader, to the bus conductor, the question of what is going on in the Nigerian economy affects us all and we all have a part to play.
