Nigeria Economic Outlook
January 25, 2022
Momentum seemingly picked up in the fourth quarter of last year, with operating conditions improving at a faster rate throughout the period: The PMI reached a two-year high in December on the back of robust growth in output and new orders. Moreover, private-sector credit grew at a markedly quicker pace in October–November, suggesting strengthening business activity. Furthermore, inflation cooled in the quarter overall, which should have supported household spending. In other news, hundreds of people were killed in a wave of attacks by armed bandits in the north-west of the country in early January, highlighting ongoing security problems. Meanwhile, the Electoral Act is likely to be amended ahead of the 2023 general elections to allow for electronic voting and result transmission, which should reduce voting fraud and suggests a smooth transition of power should the ruling APC party lose.Nigeria Economic Growth
Economic growth should remain robust this year amid the fading impact of the pandemic and the new oil bill. The government’s infrastructure push should further buoy activity through investment. However, elevated inflation, security problems, a sharper-than-expected slowdown in China—weighing on exports—and low vaccination rates pose risks to the outlook. FocusEconomics panelists see GDP growth coming in at 2.8% in 2022, which is up 0.2 percentage points from last month’s forecast, and 2.9% in 2023.Nigeria Economy Data
