What happened
Minister Jumoke Oduwole stated that Nigeria's capital importation reached $23 billion in 2025, up from over $12 billion in 2024. She also reported that foreign exchange reserves surpassed $50 billion and that inflation fell to 14.63% by September 2026. Oduwole attributed these improvements to reforms implemented by the federal government, including foreign exchange unification and tax reforms.

Why it matters
The reported economic growth, which exceeded four percent in 2025, and the decline in inflation suggest improvements in Nigeria's investment climate. The Minister noted that non-oil exports reached a record value of over $6 billion, covering products such as cocoa derivatives and cashew.
