As we close the first half of 2025 and look forward, Nigeria’s economy is showing signs of slow but steady recovery. However, rising prices remain a big challenge for businesses and consumers alike.
Different experts have shared their views on Nigeria’s growth for 2025, and while their numbers vary, the overall message is clear: growth is coming, but it won’t be a sprint.
What this means: The non-oil sectors are becoming the engines of Nigeria’s growth. Businesses tapping into these sectors have real chances to expand. But don’t expect overnight miracles — growth is gradual and depends on many moving parts.
Inflation remains a headache. Even with a small easing in April 2025 (23.7% down from 24.2% in March), prices are still rising fast.
Imagine this: Your suppliers raise prices because fuel and electricity costs went up. Your customers have less spending power because everyday items cost more. This squeeze makes running a business harder and calls for smart cost and pricing strategies.
Nigeria’s economy in the second half of 2025 offers a mix of hope and caution. Growth is expected but tempered by persistent inflation and currency pressures. For businesses especially those handling cross-border payments, success means staying informed, being adaptable, and partnering with trusted financial experts.
