Looking at Home for Policies and Solutions (Invest Advocate) 

April 30, 2020


Invest Advocate (Nigeria) published an article on trade restrictions and how Nigeria depends heavily on imports and as such, movements in exchange rates have a direct impact on consumption patterns. The article quoted from IFPRI research and the blog post, COVID-19: Trade restrictions are worst possible response to safeguard food security, writing “at least 37 countries have enacted various forms of food export restrictions in response to Covid-19 including those where average output for the products in question exceeds domestic consumption.” Republished in Proshare Intelligent Investing
