The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised Nigeria’s economic growth forecast for 2026, raising it to 4.4% from the previous projection of 4.2%. The updated outlook was published in the IMF’s January 2026 update of the World Economic Outlook and unveiled on Monday, signaling improved expectations for the country’s economic performance in the coming year.
This upward revision reflects optimism about Nigeria’s economic resilience and potential drivers of growth, although the IMF cautions that global and domestic factors could still influence the trajectory.
