Nigeria’s Trade Surplus Grows as Imports Fall
Nigeria’s trade surplus surged by 34% to N67.95 trillion as imports weakened, signaling a positive shift in the country’s trade balance. The rise in surplus was driven by a decrease in imports, which helped boost Nigeria’s export advantage, particularly in sectors like oil and gas. This growth reflects the government’s efforts to reduce reliance on foreign goods and promote local production. With imports declining, the trade balance continues to improve, further supporting Nigeria’s economic stability. Analysts believe this trend could help strengthen the naira and increase foreign exchange reserves.
