Nigeria’s recent economic upswing signals a cautiously optimistic turning point. With the Central Bank of Nigeria reporting an 85 percent surge in the current account balance—reaching $5.28 billion in Q2 2024—the nation is benefitting from stronger international trade flows and renewed investor confidence. This improvement reflects a healthier balance between foreign earnings and spending, helping stabilize the broader economy.

Equally notable is the rise in foreign reserves to $46.7 billion, the highest in years, underscoring the impact of tighter banking reforms and disciplined monetary policies. While these gains offer welcome momentum, sustained progress will depend on maintaining policy consistency, deepening structural reforms, and ensuring that economic stability translates into real improvements for households and businesses. Nigeria stands at a promising juncture, but continued vigilance and inclusive growth strategies are essential to secure long-term resilience.
