Nigeria Signals Strengthened Investment Climate Following G20 Engagements

By Barth Ikiebe

The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to deepening sustained economic reforms as the G20 Investment Dialogue concludes in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Addressing global investors and South African business leaders, the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, outlined how recent reforms are restoring macroeconomic stability and creating a more predictable environment for private capital.

He noted that GDP growth had strengthened to 4.23% in Q2 2025, inflation has begun to moderate, and external reserves now stand at $46.3 billion.

The Finance Minister added that growth is increasingly broad-based, driven by telecommunications, trade, construction, rail, electricity and refining.

According to Mr Edun, “Nigeria is not only open for business; Nigeria is reforming to accelerate private-sector-led growth”.

With a strengthened investment climate and a growing economy, Nigeria is poised for sustainable growth and development.

Our Correspondent reports that the Federal Government used the opportunity to invite investors to join the journey of growth and prosperity, leveraging the country’s vast potential and opportunities.
