What is the economic outlook for Nigeria in 2021 and beyond?
Nigeria’s recovery is expected to be weak and gradual under current policies. Real GDP growth in 2021 is expected to turn positive at 1.5 percent.

Non-oil growth is also expected to remain sluggish, reflecting inward-looking policies and regulatory uncertainties.
