Nigeria To Become Africa’s Fourth Largest Economy In 2024 – IMF / Shettima Should Handle Security, Tinubu Economy As Promised - Obi / Rule Of Law: Nigeria Slips By Two Points, Ranks 120th In 142 Countries — WJP (2) (3) (4)

Nigeria, once Africa's largest economy, is facing a shift in its economic standing according to projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This change comes as a result of a series of currency devaluations and economic challenges plaguing the nation. Economic Rankings: A Shift in Power According to the IMF's World Economic Outlook, Nigeria's gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated at $253 billion for the current year. However, this places Nigeria behind Algeria, Egypt, and South Africa in terms of economic size. While Nigeria has long been Africa's largest economy, recent developments indicate a changing landscape where other nations take the lead. Factors Contributing to the Shift The economic fortunes of Nigeria and Egypt have dimmed in recent times, largely due to high inflation rates and currency depreciation. In Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu has implemented significant policy reforms aimed at addressing these challenges, including allowing the currency to float more freely and scrapping energy subsidies. Despite these efforts, the Nigerian naira remains significantly weakened against the US dollar. Similarly, Egypt has also faced currency devaluation as part of efforts to attract investment. The IMF has supported Egypt's flexible currency regime by increasing the size of a loan program, which, in turn, attracted additional financial support from other international institutions. https://africafactszone.com/south-africa-now-africas-largest-economy/ FOLLOW US TWITTER https://twitter.com/FactsZoneAfrica FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaNpazG30LKX6YFPUG1U

All due to our extremely weak naira. If naira had stayed between ₦200-₦300 till date, we'd be at around $900B. 4 Likes |

Paraman: With Apc in Power?? Why is it so hard for you to understand that APC never from day one had any such plans to make Nigeria better? They only joined forces to crush pdp and keep Power at all cost, Nigeria is plainly politics and win elections at any cost to Apc. This is not really hard to see. Since 2015 all We have ever had to get from APC is Pdp this,pdp that,pdp this,pdp that now they are all about crying predecessors this buhari dat Very unserious govt . 5 Likes 2 Shares |

In 1999 when OBJ became president, Nigeria's GDP was only $59 Billion. In 2007 when OBJ left office, Nigeria's GDP was $278 Billion. In May 2015 when GEJ left office, Nigeria was Africa's largest economy with a GDP of $500 Billion. But just within 9 years of Tinubu and Buhari combined, Nigeria's GDP is now only $252 Billion. Many people really don't know how far back these people have set Nigeria from 2015 to date. 4 Likes 1 Share

When you devalue your currency you make the mass population poorer at the same time The only few times you can devalue to an advantage is when you’re trying to push massive exports and you want to make it more attractive by making it cheaper 2 Likes |

LadyExcellency:You don’t export what you don’t have. We don’t have enough doctor but you are exporting the few doctors and nurses you have to those that even have more than you. Your best brain will always serve as slaves to other nations why some like you that are dull of understanding will always be around to vote incompetent leaders like Buhari and Tinubu to power. Mind you, your country has the largest out of school children in the world with the world highest high dimensional and multidimensional poor people on earth. Let that country break in fragments for faster development |
