Wetin we go talk as e be, my people? IMF don yan say Nigeria don dey improve for economy matter!
Na for one press conference wey dem hold recently, dem talk say Nigeria’s macroeconomic stabilisation don start to put smile for the faces of many. E mean say, person fit start to see better things wey go happen for di Sub-Saharan Africa region. Dem report give us beta news about economy growth, wey dey projected to reach 4.4 per cent for 2026. Na small small increase from di 4.2 per cent wey dem talk for 2025. Abeg, no be lie!
Deniz Igan, wey be IMF Division Chief, come explain say dis good news no be small thing o. E talk say dem see price wey rise for commodities like gold, copper, and coffee wey don help support di economic growth across di region. Wetin we dey see na good policy adjustments wey dey happen for Nigeria and some other big countries like Ethiopia.
Igan come drop another kwik gist: if we fit maintain dis stabilisation, na better future dey for us! For di social media, e dey sweet seeing how Nigeria dey turn things around. Na di hard work of people wey dey push for economic reforms dey pay off as e be so!
But no forget say, no matter how ground dey shake for market, Nigeria still get some challenges wey we need to face. IMF still warn us about di poyo wey go happen if we reverse di recent reforms wey don give us plenty gains. Dr Christian Ebeke, wey be IMF country rep for Nigeria, sabi say if Nigeria no fortify wetin dem don start, na so we go fall back to square one. Nobody wan go back to wahala, abi?
Dem talk say negaitive risks dey lurk around, especially for low-income places. Na wa o! We no fit soft down because of plenty factors like cuts for international assistance and wahala wey dey go on global market.
On top all dis matter, IMF also warn about di inflation wey don dey rise. E dey expected say inflation go drop from 4.1 per cent wey e been dey, to 3.8 per cent for 2026, and then to 3.4 per cent for 2027. E still dey high, but e dey show say we dey go forward.
As we dey carry di gist enter beer parlour, make we hold our hope dey high, but on point say policy discipline and vigilance go be di key wey go keep us moving. Di IMF gatz ensure say we dey continue dis chin-chin growth if we wan dodge di kind palava wey fit stop our shine!
