Nigeria’s economy recorded a 3.87% growth in 2025, according to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), marking an improvement from the 3.38% growth in 2024. The report highlights a steady expansion in domestic economic activity, driven by improved fiscal policies and increased investor confidence.
The CBN also reported that Nigeria’s foreign reserves have reached nearly $53 billion, a 17-year high. This surge is attributed to ongoing reforms that have stabilized the foreign exchange market and attracted more capital inflows. The increase in reserves reflects the effectiveness of recent monetary policies aimed at restoring economic stability.
Earlier in 2026, Nigeria’s foreign reserves had already surpassed the annual target, reaching above $52.5 billion. This milestone underscores the positive impact of the CBN’s efforts to strengthen the country’s financial position and attract foreign investment. The central bank has emphasized that sustained capital inflows and renewed confidence among investors are key factors behind the growth.
