Repayment in USD or Euro or agreed foreign currency
Loan terms from 3 5 years
Payment guarantee by a local bank in most cases
Fixed monthly USD payments to the overseas financer
Good option
when Exchange rate is stable,
your repayment cost is fixed in Naira as your earning/profit is also fixed in
Naira

Very bad option

when Exchange rate is volatile, you will do business in Naira at fixed profit
which may wipe out when repayment is done if exchange rate is falling
as you will spend more Naira for the same USD monthly payment

ock Ageing & Its impact on Price

Direct Import Case
If exchange rate is stable
Low interest cost, you can carry stock for a longer
period
If exchange rate is falling
Immediately sell the stock as you will get less USD
for same Naira unless price is increased

Local Borrowings

Limit on investment in stocks due to limitation on
working capital
