BREAKING: Nigeria Officially In Recession, GDP Growth Drops To -2.06% by DONSMITH123(m): 10:33am On Aug 31, 2016 |
The National Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday released the much-awaited Gross Domestic Product figures for the second quarter of 2016 with the GDP growth rate sliding further from -0.36 per cent in the first quarter to -2.06 per cent year-on-year. The negative growth rate recorded in the second quarter of this year is a confirmation of the predictions by the Federal Government and economists that the country was heading into recession. A recession is defined as a significant decline in activities across the economy, lasting longer than a few months. It is visible in industrial production, employment, real income and wholesale retail trade. The technical indicator of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by a country’s GDP. In the GDP report released by the NBS, the bureau said, “In the second quarter of 2016, the nation’s Gross Domestic Product declined by -2.06 per cent (year-on- year) in real terms. “This was lower by 1.70 per cent points from the growth rate of –0.36 per cent recorded in the preceding quarter, and also lower by 4.41 per cent points from the growth rate of 2.35 per cent recorded in the corresponding quarter of 2015. Quarter on quarter, real GDP increased by 0.82 per cent.” Cc: lalasticlala http://punchng.com/breaking-nigeria-officially-recession-gdp-growth-drops-2-06/

Nigerians wanted change. Let them enjoy every bit of it. Next time, they'll scrutinize presidential contenders very very well before voting. "Once bitten twice shy" wasn't just coined for no reason. The sad fact is that the majority prefer to be brainwashed even though the early signs of incompetence are clearly written on the wall. 8 Likes |

What do you expect when inflation is at 18%, currency value has fallen by over 100% & disposable income has completely vanished, this is just the beginning, the figure will reach almost -6% negative GDP before the year ends. God please help us. 3 Likes |

shakaZuIlu:For a very prominent position as the presidency, sentiment only act as an agent for making unwitty decisions as to who is fit for the task. If Nigerians can only for once forget about being inclined or loyal to a single party and vote for content rather than popularity, we can at least vote in someone who can best act in for such a position. |
