The lender says Nigeria’s economic growth is being hindered by food inflation, heightened insecurity, unemployment and stalled reforms.

The report said that while the government took measures to protect the economy against a much deeper recession, it would be essential to set policy foundations for a strong recovery.

Although the economy started to grow again, the report said prices are increasing rapidly, severely impacting Nigerian households. In addition, the report highlights that both the federal and state governments cut nonessential spending and redirected resources towards the COVID-19 response, adding that public-sector transparency has improved, in particular around the operations of the oil and gas sector.

This will limit the government’s ability to address gaps in human and physical capital which is needed to attract private investment, the bank said.
