Nigeria Outlook: FX Stability Critical to Growth as Fiscal Revenue Surges
Abstract:Market leaders in Nigeria emphasize foreign exchange stability over interest rates as the primary driver for sustainable growth, bolstering the outlook for the Naira. Meanwhile, fiscal data reveals a 26% jump in VAT allocations, alongside new World Bank-backed infrastructure deals.

Nigeria's macroeconomic landscape in 2026 shows signs of structural adjustment as financial leaders prioritize FX predictability and fiscal revenues hit record levels to drive long-term infrastructure investment.
FX Stability Prioritized Over Rate Levels
Babatunde Folawiyo of Coronation Merchant Bank emphasizes that FX market predictability is more vital than interest rates for FDI. A stable NGN is considered the linchpin for corporate expansion.
Fiscal Consolidation & Infrastructure Support
Recent fiscal data indicates a shift toward non-oil revenue strength, reducing the reliance on domestic borrowing and providing a buffer for the Naira.
- VAT allocations: N7.73 trillion in 2025
- Year-on-year growth: 26.46% increase from 2024
- Previous revenue: N6.11 trillion
- Strategic Partner: IFC (International Finance Corporation)
