Wirtschafts- und Branchenüberblick
Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation and one of its largest economies, with nominal GDP of approximately $285 billion in 2025. The economy is driven by oil and gas exports, a large services sector, and significant agriculture, though structural reforms including FX market liberalisation and fuel subsidy removal since 2023 have reshaped the macroeconomic landscape. Telecommunications, banking, consumer goods, and cement are major pillars of the listed equity market. The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) has been one of Africa's best-performing bourses since 2020, with total market capitalisation surpassing N99 trillion by end-2025. Ongoing challenges include elevated inflation, infrastructure gaps, and foreign exchange volatility.
