Nigeria is back as Number One Economy in Africa
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Nigeria has regained its position as Africa’s largest economy, surpassing others in terms of GDP. This achievement comes after the country fell to fourth place earlier in 2024. According to Dr. Ndiamé Diop, the World Bank’s Country Director for Nigeria, the country’s private sector has faced significant challenges, but Nigeria has managed to maintain its top spot.

Nigeria’s economic resurgence is also reflected in its recent reclaiming of the top spot as Africa’s leading oil upstream investment destination, surpassing Angola. The country’s improved economic outlook can be attributed to current macroeconomic reforms, including economic stabilization measures and exchange rate market adjustments.

Despite receiving less Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) than its potential warrants, Nigeria remains a significant player in the African economy. In comparison to countries like Indonesia and South Africa, Nigeria’s FDI inflows are relatively low. However, the country’s economic growth prospects are promising, driven by a favorable business environment and improved access to foreign exchange.

The World Bank has been actively involved in supporting Nigeria’s economic development, with Dr. Diop emphasizing the importance of continued reforms to sustain economic growth. As Nigeria continues to navigate the complexities of its economic landscape, its regained status as Africa’s largest economy is a testament to its resilience and potential for growth.
