IMF sees Nigeria’s growth prospects slide to 3.2% in 2023

Washington D.C| Nigeria’s economy could drop slightly to 3.2 percent in 2023, and then lower to 3 percent next year even as global outlook sustains high uncertainty amid recent financial sector turmoil, high inflation, ongoing effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and three years of COVID-19 pandemic.

This is according to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) quarterly World Economic Outlook (WEO) update on Tuesday during the ongoing spring meetings of the Fund and the World Bank.
