The Business Confidence Monitor (BCM) is the flagship survey-based report of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), supported by Stanbic IBTC.

Businesses in Nigeria reported a sustained positive business for the third consecutive month in 2025, signalling favourable business conditions in the year.

As a result, the current Business Performance Index for March 2025 stands at +6.58, a weakly positive business performance and a slight decline compared to +11.50 points in February 2025.

Although not the top challenge this month, the high cost of commercial lease/rental property remains among the top three business challenges in the last two months. Other top-ranking business challenges include inadequate power supply, limited access to financing, and economic uncertainties.
