The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruptions to global supply chains, sharp drop in global crude oil prices, cancellation of sporting and entertainment event, lockdowns in many countries, and intercontinental travel restrictions across the world.

The results have had severe consequences on households’ livelihoods and business activities, resulting from the drop in global demand, declined consumer confidence, and the slowdown in production of goods.

So, for this reason, the Central Bank of Nigeria created the N50 billion Targeted Credit Facility (TCF) as a stimulus package to support households and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) affected by the pandemic.
