FX spread jolts higher while the oil-growth case stays conditional
The operating picture is diverging: the P2P FX spread rose sharply and the consumer basket edged higher, while airfare was unchanged near its recorded peak. Prospective oil investment supports an optimistic growth forecast, but larger production gains remain conditional on institutional transition.
Payment-fee fears narrowed, but an announced bridge workaround lacks a delivery timetable and a digital-loan pilot leaves key terms undisclosed.
Bottom line
Keep currency and consumer-cost assumptions under frequent review; treat oil-led expansion as an upside case until investment in inactive wells and institutional transition become observable.
