Nigeria’s economic prospects are looking brighter following a series of positive developments. Fitch Ratings has upgraded the country’s credit rating to ‘B’, reflecting increased confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s policy reforms. These reforms include exchange rate liberalization, monetary policy tightening, and the removal of fuel subsidies, which have enhanced macroeconomic stability and credibility.

This upgrade signals a more positive outlook on Nigeria’s economic stability and creditworthiness, potentially attracting more foreign investment and improving borrowing conditions on international markets. Additionally, JP Morgan is planning to expand its operations in Nigeria, further boosting investor confidence. Despite challenges like falling oil prices and new U.S. tariffs, Nigeria’s economic trajectory is shifting towards stability.
