Nigeria

Nigeria's macroeconomic reforms since 2023 have helped stabilize the economy, and in 2025 it proved more resilient to lower oil prices than in previous downturns, with growth holding steady at around 4%, driven primarily by services — particularly ICT, finance, and real estate — alongside a pickup in agricultural and construction activity. Although inflation remained in double digits, it declined from 33.2% in 2024 to 23.0% in 2025, supported by tight monetary conditions, lower exchange rate volatility, and improved agricultural output. Nigeria is Africa's largest economy by GDP and most populous nation, with a consumer market of over 220 million people.
