Panorama económico e industrial
Nigeria is Africa's largest economy by nominal GDP and most populous nation, with an economic base anchored in oil and gas extraction, telecommunications, financial services, agriculture, and a rapidly growing consumer sector. Crude oil and natural gas account for the majority of government revenues and foreign-exchange earnings, while the non-oil economy (particularly telecoms, fintech, trade, and cement manufacturing) has expanded significantly. Structural reforms enacted from 2023 onward, including the removal of fuel subsidies and liberalisation of the foreign-exchange regime, have generated short-term inflationary pressure while aiming to stabilise the macroeconomic framework over the medium term. The Nigerian Exchange (NGX), founded in 1960, is one of Africa's oldest and largest equity markets, hosting over 150 listed companies across diverse sectors.
