<\/div>

Fitch Ratings has confirmed Nigeria’s long-term foreign currency sovereign rating at “B” with a stable outlook, highlighting progress in economic reforms while also pointing out persistent vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

In its report dated April 10, Fitch Ratings states that Nigeria’s rating reflects the size of the economy, a relatively developed domestic debt market, significant hydrocarbon resources, and recent improvements in the monetary and exchange rate framework. However, the rating is constrained by high inflation, a strong dependence on oil, weak governance indicators, security challenges, and structurally low public revenues.<\/p>\n

Reforms implemented since May 2023, including the partial liberalization of the foreign exchange market by the Central Bank of Nigeria, have helped restore investor confidence after a 40% depreciation of the naira in 2024.<\/p>\n

Fitch anticipates a moderate depreciation in the short term, amid budgetary pressures and increased external risks.<\/p>\n

Foreign exchange reserves increased to $49.4 billion at the end of March 2026, up from $32 billion in mid-April 2024, before slightly declining to around $47 billion by the end of 2026, according to the agency’s projections. They are expected to cover approximately 7 months of current external payments, above the median for countries rated “B”.<\/p>\n

Fitch estimates that net reserves reached $35 billion at the end of 2025, up from around $4 billion in 2023, reflecting a reduction in foreign exchange swap operations with local banks.<\/p>\n

On the budget front, the agency forecasts a widening of the public deficit to nearly 5% of GDP in 2026, driven by increased social, security, and electoral expenditure.<\/p>\n

Fitch notes that the government is expected to cover its short-term external financing needs through a combination of official and commercial borrowing, with estimated external repayments of $4.6 billion over 2026-2027.<\/p>\n

The agency also forecasts a slight widening of the current account surplus in 2026, after reaching 4.9% of GDP in 2025, supported by higher revenues and a decrease in oil-related imports.<\/p>\n
