Why the decline in oil export earnings
Earnings from crude oil and gas exports were wiped out by the 19 epidemics that swept the oil market in 2020. Epidemics have forced governments around the world to block borders near migration and trade.
The move by Covid 19 has reduced global oil demand, causing oil prices to fall by 20 sh in the second quarter of last year, hurting Nigerian oil revenues as its exports Markets also closed shops.
The US Energy Information Administration had said that oil-exporting countries, including Nigeria, would lose their revenues. The US agency said revenue would be at an 18-year low.
According to the US projection, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) estimated that its oil exports would fall from 595 billion in 2019 to 32 323 billion in 2019. Lower crude oil prices and lower exports have led to the expected decline in export earnings. "
