Costly Loans Hinder Nigeria’s Healthcare Aspirations.
High interest rates in Nigeria are stalling progress in the healthcare sector, making it difficult for hospitals and pharmaceutical companies to access affordable loans for essential equipment and projects. As a result, businesses are turning to alternative financing options like bonds, equity investments, and partnerships with foreign firms. Economists suggest that the government should focus on stimulating economic growth by reducing interest rates to make borrowing more sustainable.
