Nigeria has moved from a phase of economic stabilisation to consolidation following two years of sustained reforms, the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, has said.

Edun made the remarks at the launch of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) 2026 Macroeconomic Outlook, where he outlined key gains recorded under the current reform agenda. According to him, Nigeria is witnessing stronger economic growth, moderating inflation, improved external reserves, rising investor confidence, and renewed international credibility.

He noted that the focus for 2026 will be on translating macroeconomic improvements into tangible benefits for citizens, particularly in areas such as food affordability, access to housing and mortgages, expanded electricity supply, improved infrastructure, and stronger social protection for vulnerable groups.

The minister reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to transparency, fiscal discipline, structural reforms, and policies that attract private sector investment, stressing that these measures are critical to achieving sustainable and inclusive growth.

Edun added that under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the government remains determined to consolidate existing gains, sustain reform momentum, and deepen collaboration with the private sector, development partners, and citizens to build a resilient and competitive Nigerian economy.
