2018
is shaping up to be a year defined by improved economic fundamentals but
continued uncertainty. While consensus has developed around a lower interest
rate environment, timing and direction of fiscal and monetary policy are
anything but certain, and the combined effect of both is unpredictable.
It
seems that wherever investors look, there are reasons to be cautious of the
political climate and its impact on policies. More so, while a confluence of
subdued inflation and stable currency may guide to a cut in the MPR, the
delayed confirmation of MPC members and the incoming expiration of the tenure
of the CBN governor creates another layer of uncertainty.
For
one thing, the political landscape remains treacherous. Downside risks from
energy and electricity prices, disruption in oil production, elevated domestic
issuances and excessive government spending all have the potential to send
markets into a tailspin this year.
Overall,
one thread runs through our views of the economy for 2018: a possible game of
two halves wherein the first half looks brighter than the latter.
