During the last Monetary Policy Meeting, the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, said, “External reserves position stood at $34.9 billion in March 2020 as against $38.07bn in December 2019. He said,

“The depletion in external reserves was driven by FX sales to Bureau De Changes and Import & Export window as well as dwindling oil receipt.

“The current level of reserves is estimated to finance about 6.30 months of imports.” 

Emefiele, who chaired the MPC meeting, said, “Based on the current downturn in oil prices, staff projections indicate that output in 2020 would be less than earlier envisaged.

“The major downside risks to this outlook, however, include the continued spread of COVID-19; further decline in crude oil prices and the reduction in accretion to external reserves; reduced government revenue leading to weak aggregate demand; declining non-oil receipts; as well as infrastructural and security challenges.”
