The World Bank projects Nigeria’s current account surplus will expand from 4.8 percent of GDP in 2025 to 6.0 percent in 2026, driven by robust oil export earnings and increased foreign exchange inflows. While the surplus is expected to gradually narrow to 3.4 percent by 2028 as oil prices stabilize, the bank forecasts economic growth to rise to 4.3 percent in 2026 and 4.4 percent in 2027, supported by improving macroeconomic stability and investor confidence. The report notes that Nigeria’s external outlook remains sensitive to global oil market fluctuations and geopolitical developments.
