NIGERIA Focus
ECONOMY. Buhari win boosts Nigeria s prospects. The stock market has shown its support for the incoming government, which promises better management of the oil sector and resources. Buhari faces many obstacles to being able to deliver on promises of change, and his honeymoon could be short. INFRASTRUCTURE. The economy requires vast investments, especially in the power and transportation sectors. The National Infrastructure Investment Plan calls for spending of $30-50bn per year, well beyond the government s capacity. AGRICULTURE. Under agriculture minister Akinwumi Adesina, the government launched the Agricultural Transformation Agenda. Through boosting local production and strengthening value chains, the country reduced its food import bill by $2.3bn in 2014. FINANCE. Banking in uncertain times. New capital requirements, electricity sector risks and the impacts of naira depreciation are hurdles banks face while adjusting to a new administration in Abuja.
