In its latest World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised down Nigeria’s economic growth forecast for 2024 to 2.9%. This represents a slight dip from the previously projected 3.1%, a result of weaker-than-anticipated economic performance in the early months of the year.

The updated figures were disclosed during the ongoing annual meetings of the IMF and the World Bank, held this October.

Looking ahead to 2025, the IMF has shown a touch more optimism, nudging its growth forecast for Nigeria up to 3.2%, a modest increase from the earlier prediction of 3.0%.
