The World Bank says inflation pushed seven million Nigerians below the poverty line in 2020.

According to the report, the Nigerian economy in 2020 experienced a shallower contraction of -1.8 percent than had been projected at the beginning of the pandemic . Although the economy started to grow again, prices are increasing rapidly, severely impacting Nigerian households. The report acknowledged “notable government’s policy reforms aimed at mitigating the impact of the crisis and supporting the recovery; including steps taken towards reducing petrol subsidies and adjusting electricity tariffs towards more cost-reflective levels, both aimed at expanding the fiscal space for pro-poor spending.”
