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.
