Nigeria's economy began the second half of 2026 on a stronger footing, characterized by improved macroeconomic fundamentals and a notable increase in investor confidence, according to the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE). This assessment indicates a positive shift in the nation's economic landscape, suggesting a more stable and attractive environment for investment.

The CPPE, however, urged the government to build on this momentum by enacting policies that further enhance the competitiveness of the business environment. This call to action emphasizes the need for continued reform and strategic planning to sustain and accelerate economic growth. The focus on a competitive business climate is crucial for attracting and retaining both domestic and foreign investment, thereby driving job creation and overall prosperity.

The declaration highlights a period of cautious optimism for Nigeria's economic future. While acknowledging the progress made, the CPPE's statement underscores that sustained effort and proactive governance are essential to fully capitalize on the current strengths and navigate future challenges.
