WHAT IS A FIAT CURRENCY?

A fiat currency is a type of currency that is not backed by a physical commodity, such as gold or silver, but is instead backed by the government that issues it. Fiat currencies derive their value from the confidence that people have in the government's ability to maintain its value and to fulfill its obligations.

Fiat currencies are legal tender and are accepted as a means of payment by the government that issues them and by its citizens. The value of fiat currencies is determined by market forces, including supply and demand, and the economic and political stability of the country that issues the currency.

Examples of fiat currencies include the US dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, and Nigerian Naira. In contrast, commodity-backed currencies, such as the gold standard, derive their value from the underlying commodity.

There are several disadvantages of fiat currency like the Naira but we will focus on a few.

Inflation

One of the biggest disadvantages of fiat currencies is the risk of inflation. Because the value of fiat currencies is not tied to any underlying commodity, governments can print more money at any time, leading to an increase in the money supply and potentially higher prices for goods and services.

Lack of backing

Unlike commodity-backed currencies, fiat currencies are not backed by any physical commodity. This means that their value is purely based on the trust and confidence that people have in the government that issues them. If that trust is lost, the value of the currency can plummet.

Vulnerability to government policies

Governments can manipulate fiat currencies through their monetary and fiscal policies, such as interest rate changes and tax policies. This can lead to economic instability and uncertainty.

International trade imbalances

Fiat currencies can also lead to international trade imbalances, as countries can manipulate their currencies to make their exports more competitive or to reduce their imports. This can lead to trade wars and economic conflicts.
