Pre-CPI report: Why we expect a further surge in October Inflation rate

Official In the week ahead, the Nigeria National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) will publish the October 2019 Consumer Price Index report (CPI) which will show the direction of movement (up or down) of the general price level (Inflation rate) in the country for the month.

As such, we conducted a Pre-CPI report analysis, and our findings suggest that the Headline inflation rate (a measure of the average change in the price level of both food and non-food items) will climb by a minimum of 4bps to 11.28% y/y from 11.24% in the preceding month. This modest upsurge we believe will mainly be driven by a joint increase in both the Core inflation (i.e. non-food items price index) and Food inflation (i.e. food price index).

Our position is hinged on the projected effect of three notable drivers within the month – the spillover effect of the current land border closure, renewed exchange rate pressure, and seasonality effect.

First, we expect the spillover effect of the land border closure by the FG since August 2019 to further weigh on the food price sub-index in the month of October, given that local production capacity of many of the affected food items is inadequate to cover the gaps created in the system due to the border closure. As such, we expect the food price sub-index to climb to 13.55% y/y (or 1.35% m/m) from 13.51% y/y (1.30% m/m) in the previous month. This we expect to be impacted majorly by the high cost of rice, vegetable oil, frozen turkey, fish and chicken.

Likewise, we expect the renewed pressure on the naira exchange rate caused by oil price & output volatility, and low capital importation (both of which has now drove the foreign reserves to $40bn as against $46bn 6-months ago) to pressure Core inflation (non-food items price index) to 8.96% y/y (or 0.96% m/m) from 8.94% y/y (or 8.94% m/m) in the preceding month. It is worthy to note that the oil price & output volatility, and reduced capital importation into the Nigeria financial market is largely driven by the recent slowdown in global economic activities, triggered by the U.S. and China trade tension and other geopolitical crises.

Lastly, we also expect the characteristic high end of the year demand for food and
non-food items to support our projection of a rise in inflation rate to 11.28% in
October, likewise the remaining two months of the year.

A Look into Ghana’s 2020 Budget Numbers

Earlier in the week, Ghanaian Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, on the authority of the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, presented Ghana’s 2020 Budget proposal, titled “Consolidating the Gains for Growth, Jobs & Prosperity for all” to the Parliament.

Built into the budget is a wider fiscal deficit of GHc18.8bn ($3.4bn), as total revenue (GHc67.1bn; $12.0bn) is estimated to come in lower than total expenditure (GHc85.9bn; $15.4bn) for 2020. According to the budget numbers, non-debt recurrent expenditures remained dominant; Wages & Salaries (30.9%), Interest payments (25.2%) while capital expenditure remained low at 10.8% of total budget spending. On the revenue side, tax is expected to account for 67.1% of total revenue, followed by revenue from oil (13.3%) and other non-tax revenue excluding oil (12.6%).

Additionally, the government plans to fund the deficits by borrowing from domestic (43.6%) and foreign (56.4%) sources. Notably, the finance minister highlighted the country’s plan to visit the international capital market to raise c. $3.0bn, of which $2.0bn will be used to support the implementation of the 2020 budget and the rest for domestic debt liability management.

In all, the deficit of GHc18.9bn is 4.7% of GDP and falls within the 5.0% limit set out in 2018’s Fiscal Responsibility Act. However, with the risk of underperforming revenues and election year overspending, this ratio could increase past the legally set cap.

Mouka Savours Brand Loyalty At 60, Charts New Path To A Greater Future

Mouka, the nation’s leading mattress and other bedding products manufacturer, has restated its commitment to a future couched in “quality brands, product renovation/innovation laced with investments in infrastructure and increased investments in the development of the Mouka people.”

Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr Raymond Murphy at the Green Gala night to round off the 60th-anniversary celebrations of Mouka in Lagos last weekend, thanked the customers and stakeholders for standing by the mega-brand in the last 60 years.

He explained that the last 60 years had been eventful for the company in terms of job creation, value creation for stakeholders and business partners and high level of governance compliance, among others.

“I thank Nigerians for remaining loyal to the Mouka brand for the last 60 years. Our vision is to move Mouka from being a good company to a great company” Murphy said.

According to him, while the company pays out taxes accurately and on time, it also contributes back to society through donations and contributions to the local communities where it operates.

Corroborating the view of the Managing Director, Mr Femi Fapohunda the Chief Operating Officer explained that Mouka has continued to grow from strength to strength as others faltered and failed, adding that Mouka sees IT as a major enabler across its business.

“We continually invest year after year in upgrading our manufacturing facilities and ensure that they operate to the highest local and international Health, Safety and Environmental Standards,” he said.

On her part, Tolu Olanipekun, Mouka’s Head of Marketing listed unrivalled Quality, Availability, Product Warranties, and 60 years of consistency as the unique features that have sustained the smooth sail of the company over the years.

Ahead of the 60th anniversary, it has been a harvest of laurels for Mouka. For instance, the foremost foam manufacturing company won an Iconic brand of the year at the Marketing World Awards which held in Accra Ghana last week. Mouka was also recognized last month by the National Employers Consultative Association (NECA) for a safe work environment

Earlier, the company was endorsed by the Nigeria Association of Orthopaedic Manual Therapists (NAOMT). The endorsement comes on the back of consistency in quality delivery and innovative mattress production.

Mouka has also been recognized twice by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), in the group’s Companies to Inspire Africa report.

The company was listed in the – LSEG’s companies to Inspire Africa 2019 report after it made the 2017 inaugural edition. Murphy Mouka said the foam company had to work earnestly to consolidate its performance in the sector to make the list of companies to inspire Africa for the second consecutive edition.

The foundation for Mouka was laid 60 years ago in the historic city of Kano when the scion of the Faiz Moukarim family started the Moukarim Metalwood factory to manufacture furniture and iron beds.

Since then, Mouka has gone into the manufacturing of foam and spring mattresses, as well as other bedding products at its three production facilities across Nigeria.

The company has also developed an extensive distribution network with more than 1,000 branded sales outlets nationwide.

Venture Capital For Africa Launches First Dedicated Online Training Program For Africa’s Business Angels: ‘Mentor-Driven Capital’

10 free training modules boost the ability of participants to become high-powered mentors and savvy business angels; Mentor-Driven Capital has a critical role to play in supporting Africa’s entrepreneurs.

Over the past two years, VC4A has successfully implemented Mentor-Driven Capital programs in Nairobi, Lagos, Abuja, Cairo and Hargeisa, bringing together aspiring business angels and connecting them with promising startups. Based on learnings presented and gathered, as well as video interviews were done with experienced mentors and mentees, VC4A has now launched an online course on ‘Mentor-Driven Capital’.

Many startup ecosystem studies across Africa have shown that there are limited local (angel) funding sources as well as a lack of well-developed mentorship networks in most African cities. This is why VC4A, with its local partners, has designed a program that addresses both topics at the same time.

Any startup requires cash to operate, but it is the application of capital in smart ways that secures greater impacts and returns on investments. Mentor-Driven Capital has a critical role to play in supporting the continent’s entrepreneurs. It is also where a good local business angel can make the difference between venture failure, survival and success.

First dedicated online training program designed for Africa’s business angels

According to VC4A CEO, Ben White: “Since VC4A’s offline programs can only reach a limited number of participants, we’ve decided to create an online course that captures much of the content of the recent mentor-focused work. Anyone who is interested can now take advantage of the first dedicated training program designed for African business professionals keen to guide Africa’s up-and-coming entrepreneurs to success.”

The goal of this course is to boost the ability of participants to become high-powered mentors that support entrepreneurs while also learning to think and act like savvy business angels. Participants receive expert guidance, training, and hands-on support. The things aspiring mentors need to bring to the table are their valuable time, knowledge and networks.

Course structure

The course is divided into ten modules. Each module is introduced by a presenter and accompanied by short clips where experts share their opinions about the same topic. The modules are:

– Introduction to Mentor-Driven Capital

– Becoming a business mentor

– Structuring the mentor relationship

– Investing your time

– Investing your network

– The angel investor mindset

– Developing an investment strategy

– Investing your money

– Common startup challenges.
