Economist Predicts 4.1% Growth for Nigeria in 2026, Market Capitalization Surge Expected
Economist Bismarck Rewane forecasts a 4.1% annual growth for Nigeria in 2026, driven by structural reforms, privatization, and policy improvements. He anticipates a surge in market capitalization, with the NGX expected to reach N262 trillion.
Factors contributing to growth include upcoming mega-listings like Dangote Refinery and NNPC. Rewane projects a 20% decrease in inflation, boosted by reforms to lower supply chain costs.
While he expects cautious interest rate cuts, the CBN will closely monitor inflation and liquidity management.
