Lagos — Nigeria’s economic growth prospects have continued to deepen as the country’s reform trajectory and improving macroeconomic fundamentals attract growing interest from international investors.
At a meeting between the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, and the CEO of Renaissance Capital Africa Investors, Samuel Sule in Abuja , discussions focused on Nigeria’s economic outlook and investor sentiment. It also highlighted a notable shift in investor appetite from Eurobonds to local currency instruments and increasingly to equity investments, signalling growing confidence in Nigeria’s reform trajectory.
Edun pointed to key macroeconomic improvements, including a stabilised exchange rate, a downward trend in inflation, and stronger fiscal discipline. He also emphasised infrastructure projects, energy sector reforms, and performance-based targets in conjunction with the World Bank as central to the administration’s strategy for attracting long-term capital.
The meeting reinforced Nigeria’s ambition to position itself as a prime destination for international investment through private sector-driven growth and economic resilience.
This development is expected to have a positive impact on the country’s economic growth and development. As Nigeria continues to implement reforms and attract international investment, the country is poised to become a hub for business and economic activity in the region.
