Nigeria received $20.9 billion in capital inflows in 2025, a 70% increase compared to 2024, as revealed by the Central Bank Governor Olayemi Cardoso. The surge in foreign capital inflow was attributed to renewed investor appetite for Nigerian assets, strengthened macroeconomic management, FX market reforms, and improved transparency across the financial system.
Non-oil exports and diaspora remittances also played a significant role in boosting the economy. Cardoso highlighted the country's rising foreign reserves, increased non-oil export earnings, and the growth of the non-oil sector.
The data reflects a positive outlook for Nigeria's economy in the coming years.
