The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed has said that prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the Nigerian economy was already fragile.

She said this in a statement issued by her Special Adviser on Communication, Mr Yunusa Abdullahi on Monday in Abuja.

The coronavirus pandemic had led to unprecedented disruptions to global supply chains, sharp drop in global crude oil prices, turmoil in global stock and financial markets, lockdown of large swath movements of persons in many countries, among others. But the finance minister said that prior to the outbreak which had led to decline in crude oil prices, the Nigerian economy was already fragile, vulnerable and deteriorating.

The minister said international travels and trade had been severely disrupted, while demand for goods and services is deteriorating as a result of the social distancing policies.
