The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) has said the increased interest rate from 26.75 percent to 27.25 percent by the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) would affect production.
The Director General of MAN, Mr. Segun Ajayi-Kadir, said on Thursday in a statement titled ‘Reaction of MAN on the Report of MPC Meeting on September 23-24, 2024’.
He noted that the interest rate would increase borrowing cost, cost of production and lead to higher price of finished goods.
“With the increase in borrowing costs, manufacturers will now pay over 35 percent on their credit facilities. Clearly, this will lead to increase in production costs, higher prices of finished goods, lower competitiveness and production capacity expansion.
“The impact of higher interest rates goes beyond compounding the challenges of manufacturers; it stifles opportunities for investment in crucial areas such as technology, retooling, and expansion within the manufacturing sector.
“Manufacturers will, all the more, be compelled to choose servicing existing credit facilities over expansion and investment in new product lines.
“For instance, over the first six months of the year, manufacturers incurred more than N730 billion in capital expenses due to the continuous rise in interest rates imposed by commercial banks.
“This dilemma hampers innovation, productivity and growth,” Ajayi-Kadir stated.
