Recently, the Senate approved the 2023-2025 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), which outlines two fiscal scenarios—the business-as-usual and reform scenarios. The business-as-usual scenario is premised on continued retention of subsidy in 2023 where Nigeria would be expected to spend ₦18.75 trillion and earn ₦6.34 trillion, denoting a fiscal deficit of ₦12.41 trillion. Meanwhile, the reform scenario assumes a subsidy reform by mid-2023. Under this scenario, Nigeria is expected to spend ₦19.76 trillion and earn ₦8.46 trillion resulting in a lower fiscal deficit of ₦11.3 trillion. | |||||
