Nigeria’s Current Account Balance Shows Resilience, Reaches $1.432 Billion In  2024
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Despite the prevailing economic downturn in Nigeria, the country’s current account balance has demonstrated a remarkable surge, reaching a substantial surplus of $1.432 billion in 2024. This notable achievement is a testament to the nation’s economic resilience and its potential for growth, defying expectations and showcasing the country’s ability to navigate challenging times.

According to data from the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) World Economic Outlook, Nigeria’s current account balance has exhibited a significant improvement, rising from a surplus of $1.21 billion in 2023 to the current figure of $1.432 billion. This upward trend is attributed to a increase in gross national savings and investment, which have risen to 26.32% and 25.75% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) respectively.

The current account balance is a critical indicator of a nation’s economic health, reflecting its net trade in goods, services, and transfers with the rest of the world. A positive balance, such as the one Nigeria is currently experiencing, indicates a surplus, signifying that the value of the country’s exports and net income from abroad exceeds the value of its imports and net outflows. This surplus can be attributed to a boost in exports, particularly in the oil sector, as well as a significant increase in remittances from Nigerians living abroad.

This development is particularly noteworthy given the current economic downturn in Nigeria, which has been characterized by a decline in foreign direct investment, exchange rate crisis, record high inflation, and a decline in external reserves. Despite these challenges, the country’s current account balance has shown remarkable strength, suggesting that Nigeria’s industries are competitive internationally and its exports are in high demand.

Experts have hailed this development as a positive indicator of economic strength, highlighting the need for policymakers to ensure sustainability to avoid imbalances or distortions in the economy. A growing current account surplus can lead to an appreciation of the country’s currency, boosting its value relative to others. This, in turn, can have a positive impact on the country’s trade balance, increasing its purchasing power and reducing its reliance on foreign capital.

This surplus can provide a cushion against external shocks, enabling the country to better withstand economic downturns and global uncertainties. It also presents an opportunity for the government to invest in strategic sectors, such as infrastructure and human capital development, which can drive long-term economic growth and diversification.
