A new report by CFG Advisory has projected Nigeria’s GDP growth at 5% for 2026, with inflation expected to be in single digits and the monetary policy rate (MPR) at 20%.
However, the advisory firm warns that the country is at a critical juncture and needs to implement policies that drive productivity-led growth to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty.
The report highlights the alarming fiscal deficit, which has exceeded ₦50 trillion over the past three years, and debt service obligations that surpass key budget allocations.
