The federal government yesterday re-submitted the 2015-2017 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) to the Senate with a new proposal of N4.661 trillion as its budget estimate for the 2015 fiscal year. Here are the key highlights.

1. The figure is N156 billion lower than the N4.817 trillion proposed in the first MTEF and FSP submitted by the executive on October 15.

2. The government also slashed its subsidy bill for kerosene and petrol in 2015 by 50 per cent from N1.221 trillion to N614.6 billion.

4. The new MTEF/FSP showed a reduction in capital expenditure from N1.436 trillion to N1.208 trillion, whilst the federal government retained recurrent expenditure at N2.622 trillion.



5. Capital expenditure also includes N184.8 billion for the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P) fund as against the N259 billion proposed in the first MTEF.

6. The government also reduced the budget projections from N4.896 to N4.733 trillion and N5.028 trillion to N4.930 trillion in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

7. It also reduced its revenue target from N3.867 trillion for 2015 to N3.826 trillion while it equally reduced the N4.016 trillion projection for 2016 to N3.948 trillion. The document also contains a reduction from N4.279 trillion targeted for 2017 to 4.225 trillion. The revenue target in the current 2014 budget is N3.731 trillion.

8. The government retained the oil production target for 2015 at 2.2782 million barrels per day. This figure is lower than the 2.3883 million barrels per day approved for the 2014 budget.

9. The revised MTEF/FSP also retained the projections of 2.3271 million barrels per day and 2.4067 million barrels per day for 2016 and 2017 respectively.
