Nigeria Missing as IMF Lists Africa’s Fastest-Growing Economies for 2025

Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy, has been conspicuously absent from the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) latest list of the continent’s fastest-growing economies for 2025. The report, released this week, highlights nations such as Niger, Senegal, Rwanda, Côte d’Ivoire, and Ethiopia as leading Africa’s growth trajectory, with GDP expansions projected between 6% and 11%.

The IMF attributes their performance to improved governance, diversification, and investment-friendly policies. Conversely, Nigeria’s growth forecast remains subdued at around 3.2%, hindered by inflationary pressures, exchange rate instability, and sluggish reforms in oil and power sectors.

Economic analysts say the exclusion underscores Nigeria’s struggle to convert its vast potential into tangible progress. They urge the federal government to accelerate fiscal discipline, enhance local production, and stabilize the naira to regain investor confidence and reclaim its growth status on the continent.
