Petrol smuggling worsens, drains NNPC supply
01:00am, Monday, 14'th Mar 2022 BusinessDay
The smuggling of subsidised petrol across Nigeria’s borders is emerging as the hottest gig in town as housewives, teenagers, bike riders have joined fraudulent marketers in the illicit trade, BusinessDay has learnt. Across borders made porous by both uneven terrain and corrupt Customs officials, large volumes of petrol are being smuggled to Cameroon, Ghana, Benin Republic and as far as Sudan. This is said to be complicating the efforts of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company to plug the supply gap that was created when, along with its partners, imported adulterated petrol into the country in January. Oil marketers who spoke to BusinessDay say the low-grade smuggling of tiny volumes of petrol in 50-litre containers is adding up and making a dent in local supply. “It is becoming a free-for-all,” the head of an oil marketing firm told BusinessDay. Fuel queues in Lagos, Abuja and other cities across Nigeria have driven up transport costs, causing disruption to the lives of many Nigerians.

Bank of France says Ukraine war to hit GDP growth, boost inflation
01:00am, Monday, 14'th Mar 2022 The Sun Daily
PARIS : France''s economic growth is set to slow in 2022 while inflation rises, as the conflict in Ukraine hits the economy, the country''s central bank warned yesterday, presenting two possible scenarios. Growth is expected to drop half a point to 1.1%, the Bank of France said. France''s gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by 3.4% this year if the price of oil averages US$93 per barrel, under one scenario; but by only 2.8% if it reaches US$119, the central bank predicted. Without the Ukraine war, and the effect on Russian oil supplies, that growth forecast would have been between 3.6% and 3.9%. The bank expected inflation to reach 3.7% this year – or 4.4% under the second scenario. The negative impact of the Ukraine conflict on the French economy will have three main effects, the bank said: higher energy and raw materials prices; lower consumption and investment; and a hit on foreign trade. Bank of France director-general Olivier Garnier said the central bank had not factored in a total halt in Russian oil and gas supplies.
