World Bank predicts growth of 2.1% for Nigeria’s economy
- Nigeria's economy will grow by 2.1% in 2020, 2021 and 2022, the World Bank has predicted
- The global organisation also predicts more positive growth for Kenya
- The World Bank says South Africa's economy will grow but there are conditions that should be met
It is a positive outlook for Nigeria as the World Bank has predicted economic growth of 2.1% for the three consecutive years of 2020, 2021 and 2023.
The World Bank’s January 2020 global economic prospects released on Wednesday, January 8, said Kenya would witness a 6% increase in its own economy during the same period.
The report, while putting the economic growth of Sub-Saharan Africa at 2.9% in 2020, it lamented Nigeria’s macro-economic framework saying this was not conducive to confidence.
The Nation, which analyses the report, quotes the organisation argued that Nigeria’s macro-economic framework is challenged by issues of multiple exchange rates, foreign restrictions and continued inflation.

The report predicted economic growth for South Africa at 0.9% but added that this can only happen if the government’s reform picks up and investments recover.
In Angola, economic growth is placed at 1.5% but with special considerations for the stability in the country’s macro-economics.
