Dear Subscriber We’re delighted to share our latest Economic Alert, Nigeria’s Q4 2020 GDP: Are we out of the woods yet? In real terms, Nigeria’s economy expanded by 0.11% year-on-year in Q4 2020 compared to -3.62% and 2.55% recorded in Q3’2020 and Q4’2019 respectively. The growth rate officially signaled Nigeria’s exit from the recession of the last two quarters. Despite this, full year 2020 growth stood at 1.92% (2019: 2.27%), though significantly lower than the -3.5% projected by the IMF in its World Economic Outlook January 2021 report. There are emerging risks which could threaten the economic recovery, including, a new wave of Coronavirus; OPEC agreement; widespread insecurity; and foreign exchange illiquidity. PwC has identified the top 10 themes that will shape Nigeria's economy in 2021. Some of which include, Unlocking dead assets; Harnessing the power of the diaspora; and Driving export growth through services.
