2022 Macro-Economic Outlook: "The Last Mile: Reforms Towards Significant Improvement in National Economic Outcomes"

This year’s Macroeconomic Outlook Report comes at a time Nigeria is faced with economic instability, deteriorating fiscal position and massive socio-economic challenges. The longer it takes us to make tough decisions, the greater the cost of our inaction. Hence, the central question is: what optimal reform approaches and opportunities are feasible to achieve sustainable and inclusive economic growth and development in Nigeria?

Owing to the different forms of government interventions in the past, the report examines the role of the government in the Nigerian economy and the reasons for such interventions. It also highlights key considerations that should form the basis for successful economic reform in Nigeria (exploring the case of fuel subsidy). This is in a bid to ensure that we achieve a fair balance that creates a win-win situation, whereby economic reforms deliver maximum benefits and better outcomes to the people.
