NGThe Nigerian Federal Government announced plans to resolve conflicting economic projections among various ministries and agencies by establishing a high-powered inter-agency committee. This initiative emerged from the Economic Management Team (EMT) meeting, led by Minister Taiwo Oyedele, aiming to harmonize macroeconomic assumptions critical for budgeting and planning. The committee will focus on aligning key economic indicators such as oil prices, exchange rates, inflation, and non-oil revenues to enhance budget credibility and policy coordination. The move follows a review of past budget underperformance linked to inconsistent assumptions. The EMT also expanded its mandate to include regular macroeconomic reviews, improved fiscal-monetary coordination, and monitoring of the Renewed Hope Agenda. Additionally, the team reported improved economic metrics, including a 4.43% GDP growth in Q2 2026, rising external reserves, and a stronger naira. Nigeria's inclusion back into the FTSE Russell Frontier Market Index and Moody's credit rating upgrade were also highlighted.
