Oil Prices Set to Decline
OPEC meets December 4
The question is- is the oil market now set for a correction?
Oil market structure is oligopolistic, with 30% control of
market supply
Facing a price leadership challenge
Global oil demand for OPEC crude expected to drop by
300,000bpd or 10% of OPEC’s production
Financial Derivatives Company Limited 8
OPEC
Financial Derivatives Company Limited 9
OPEC – Supply Pressure not
from Iran Alone
Rapprochement between Iran and the west
Likely to influence lifting of sanctions and increase
production from 715,000bpd to 1.5mbpd
Supply pressure from Iraq and Libya
Oil production slack to be picked up by Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait and the UAE who account for 50% of OPEC
output
US production expected to increase to 11.13mbpd in 2014
– Making it the world’s largest producer by 2015
The increased supply from US, Iraq and Libya could slash
prices considerably
Financial Derivatives Company Limited 10
If Oil Prices fall Below $100pb
and Production is Flat
Increased rate of depletion of external reserves
20-25% revenue shortfall resulting in a wider
fiscal deficit beyond benchmark of 3% of GDP or
$9bn
Depreciation of the naira in all market segments
Increase domestic and foreign borrowing by 2%
Initial tinkering with exchange control regulations

CBN Governor Exit
New CBN Governor designate in Q1’14
Key qualities:
Political ally or neutral to President
Respected by international financial community
Policy continuity
Ability to respond to economic adjustment timing and extent
Jury is out as to possible candidates
President is keeping his cards close to his chest
New MPC to be formed
– President is allowed to appoint 3 members
– CBN governor appoints 2

The Macro-Economic
Trilemma
There are three possible scenarios in
solving the macro-economic trilemma
– Stimulus
– Consolidation (austerity)
– Monetary stability
Financial Derivatives Company Limited 18
Stimulus
You can’t save your way out of a recession
The answer is spending and borrowing and the
multiplier effect
Nigeria has no SWF
ECA is fast depleting, below $5bn
Financial Derivatives Company Limited 19
Consolidation
MTEF is too conservative
– Benchmark output down to 2.39mbpd from 2.53mbpd
– Aggregate expenditure down 9.82% to N4.5trn from
N4.99trn
Declining oil revenue raises concerns for budget framework
Likely outcomes:
– Increase taxes
– Subsidy removal
– Institute due process
Financial Derivatives Company Limited 20
Stability
CBN targets a low-inflation rate of 6-9% in 2014
Further monetary policy tightening anticipated in January
– Due to high liquidity in the money market
– Threat of fiscal overdrive
Coordination between fiscal and monetary policy required
to ensure stability

Forte Oil Forte oil’s stock price is up 1306% for the year so far
The stock rallied on a positive 9-month earnings release
Forte reported a 28.9% increase in revenues to N92bn from N71bn
Also reported a 316% increase in PAT to N2.7bn from N656mn
Noteworthy is the 7% decrease in distribution expenses, positively impacting the bottom line
The petroleum marketer recently took over Geregu Power Plant with operational generating capacity of 414mw
Investors clearly expect increased earnings resulting from the plant’s operations
Increased earnings, however, seem priced in with P/E at 76.04 and recent declines suggest a medium term peak has already been attained
Forte Oil
Financial Derivatives Company Limited 32
Transcorp Transcorp reported a PBT of N5.1bn for the first 9 months of the year which is significant when compared with N3.9bn reported for all of 2012
The company’s stock is now trading at multi-year highs now at N3.56
The company has now taken over Ughelli Power plant
Expects to ramp up generation from 160mw to about 650mw by August 2014 and 1500mw in 3-5 years
The stock has increased 96% since its November 1 takeover
But recent declines reflect investor sentiment that not much upside is expected in the medium-term
Transcorp

– Banks may remain attractive despite impact on profits
Fed tapers on QE – Contingent on improvements in the U.S. Labor general macro situation
– Negatively impacting the Nigerian bourse and reducing liquidity
Political and Social Instability – Upcoming 2015 elections
– Boko Haram Menace

Nigerian aviation sector will be in global spotlight
With the election of a Nigerian (Dr. Olumuyiwa Babatunde Aliu) as the President
of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO)
May imply increased regulation
Increased competition
Due to the influx of operators (especially in the domestic space)
Increased passenger traffic
Riding on increased number of operators and possible price wars
Greater liberalisation
To be driven by increased discussions and dialogue on open skies
Possible slowdown in airport rehabilitation
As 2015 elections take centre stage
Impact on Nigerian Aviation
Financial Derivatives Company Limited 47
Financial constraints
Operators still struggling under huge debt burdens
Weak infrastructure, which is limited and unable to keep pace
According to Scott Plumb, Beechcraft’s VP for EMEA, of the 3,500-plus airports in Africa, more than 75 percent have runways that are too short or facilities that are otherwise insufficiently prepared to cater to jet operations
Fragmented nature of the regulatory environment
Leading too little inter-Africa traffic, trade, and investments
Exploitative tax and fee structure by government
Security risks
Dominance of foreign airlines
Obsolete technology platforms
Challenges

Omitting Muslim countries, GDP per capita and alcohol per capita have a
correlation coefficient of 0.566
According to the analysis, the result is statistically significant
Nigeria’s Beer Per Capita Consumption (BPCC) is low due to the limited
disposable income per adult
Adversely affected in 2012/2013 due to the increase in living expenditure from
fuel subsidies and trade policies
Expected to improve as the economy grows with projected growth rate of 6.2%
