The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE) has declared that the Nigerian economy entered the second half of 2026 with its strongest macroeconomic fundamentals in many years and much strengthened investors’ confidence than at the beginning of the year.

The CPPE however warned that election-related spending could inject additional liquidity into the economy, with possible implications for inflationary pressures, foreign exchange demand and macroeconomic management.

These views were expressed yesterday by the Chief Executive Officer of CPPE Dr. Muda Yusuf, in a press statement titled “Nigeria’s Economy in 2026: Half Year Review and Second-Half Outlook: Macroeconomic Recovery, Structural Reforms and the Competitiveness Imperative.”
