This has generated fierce opposition and broken the consensus on which Niger's political stability has been based. Tensions are likely to continue and the country's hitherto good relations with its neighbours and with international donors may be affected. 0681e8e4a4e6191dd323e19a6c07add6Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/country_report_nigeria_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 Prospects for 2010-11 largely depend on whether the president, Umaru Yar'Adua, is able to speed up the slow progress of reform to encourage improved domestic economic and political performance. A presidential election is due in 2011. Should his performance continue to be judged unsatisfactory, pressure may mount on Mr Yar'Adua not to stand. 963b1e281339ddd566a64370e4437d85Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/country_report_nigeria_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The global economic recession and the consequent slump in oil prices have hit Nigeria hard, representing a major challenge for the president, Umaru Yar'Adua, and his government. Economic policy reform will be slow, as the country stands at a crossroads between implementing tough, unpopular market reforms and pandering to nationalistic and pro-subsidy interest groups. Official data show that non-oil growth remained robust in the first quarter of 2009. f6178b849eaa933c8c09348f7efe527eThu, 10 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/country_report_nigeria_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. 0f4658f703cd43b2a35f9c55a6beb54cFri, 14 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/nigeria_business_forecast_report_q4_2009.htmlSignificant Slowdown Ahead The Nigerian authorities made two bold moves in Q209: the first, an offer of total amnesty to militants in the Niger Delta, is unlikely to solve the problem of violence in the region, in our view. The second, a set of banking sector reforms and monetary policy innovations from the new governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Lamido Sanusi, however, could well address the root of many problems in the Nigerian banking sector. Looking ahead, we see the potential for a minor shortterm fall in militant activity, as at least some groups negotiate with the government, but no systemic change. 8f5031b30efcdfa01ef9a877d2f16460Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/country_report_nigeria_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The world recession and consequent slump in oil prices is expected to hit Nigeria hard, representing a major challenge for the president, Umaru Yar'Adua, and his government. Economic policy reform will be slow, as the country stands at a crossroads between implementing tough, unpopular market reforms and pandering to nationalistic and pro-subsidy interest groups. Poor performance in the oil sector combined with the fallout from the global financial crisis affecting other parts of the economy means that real GDP growth is forecast to slow to 2. c908fdf9ebd41d34fea44266d4e2b1efMon, 08 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/country_report_nigeria_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The world recession and consequent slump in oil prices is expected to hit Nigeria hard, representing a major challenge for the president, Umaru Yar'Adua, and his government. Economic policy reform will be slow, as the country stands at a crossroads between implementing tough, unpopular market reforms and pandering to nationalistic and pro-subsidy interest groups. The oil sector will continue to operate below potential, owing to militant action and OPEC quota cuts, depressing economic growth. acc90293ea0b446d3d65f4c6d151367cTue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/nigeria_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlRecession In 2009 Amid the sharpest fall in Nigeria's oil price since the discovery of hydrocarbons in the 1970s, and the worst global economic climate since at least independence, we are now forecasting an outof- consensus full-year recession of 0. 4% in Nigeria. Trouble in the economy will be exacerbated by banking sector problems, though the central bank has begun to take action, cutting interest rates aggressively and drawing up contingency plans in case some banks become insolvent. 217f0a87c0662cab9f973c76eef52b7fTue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/country_report_nigeria_april_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The world recession and consequent slump in oil prices is expected to hit Nigeria hard, representing a major challenge for the president, Umaru Yar'Adua, and his government.

Hama Amadou, the president of Mr Tandja’s party, Mouvement national pour la societe de developpement (MNSD), has said that he intends to stand in the presidential election, but he is currently in prison on a charge of corruption. Tensions within the MNSD are likely to continue, creating political uncertainty in the run-up to the elections. 896932acfe4a084ffe3ed1615a7739beMon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/nigeria_business_forecast_report_q2_2009.htmlThe Worst Case Becomes The Core View Last quarter we ran a scenario test about the implications to Nigeria if average oil prices in 2009 fell to US$50. 00/bbl: this scenario has now become our core view, and the various challenges we outlined in the scenario test have manifested themselves. Nigeria's government, facing substantially lower oil revenues in 2009, will push through a large fiscal deficit, which we believe will be financed via the excess crude account. 98a0755e709d8b29061e2449beb467d7Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/country_report_nigeria_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The world recession and consequent slump in oil prices is expected to hit Nigeria hard, representing a major challenge for the president, Umaru Yar'Adua, and his government. Further challenges for the president include attempting to bring stability to the turbulent Niger Delta region and attempting to find a solution to the ongoing energy crisis, under which nationwide power cuts are commonplace.

In tandem the deterioration of the credit crisis has decreased dramatically the availability of finance for private sector ventures. In light of the above factors industry value, we see a decline in the rate of growth of the construction -and by extension infrastructureindustry value for 2008 and 2009. 3d00ce14c072246be9a5c987240efd23Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/nigeria_isa_january_2009_country_report.htmlThis report contains detailed forecasts and analysis for Nigeria, including trade and investment analysis, economic forecasts, political risk assessments and demographic trend analysis.

Economic policy reform will be slow, as the country stands at a crossroads between implementing tough, unpopular market reforms and pandering to nationalistic and pro-subsidies interest groups. With the oil sector operating well below potential and the non-oil sector suffering some of the fallout from the global financial crisis, we have lowered our forecast for real GDP growth to 4. 89fc25fb222c6c1e0bfe85d9214aa550Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeriahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/nigeria/nigeria_business_forecast_report_q1_2009.htmlLean Times In 2009 The swift turnaround in commodity prices, coupled with the growing international financial crisis, is likely to lead to an economic slowdown and a narrowing of the current account surplus in 2009. Should oil prices continue to fall, we believe there is a risk for the current account to flip into deficit and economic growth to slow substantially more. Conversely, a rapid rebound to high levels presents upside risks to growth, the current account surplus and government revenues. fcc3d7b4b6f31e0a037c32c65213d097Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Nigeria
