Nigeria's Market Gains and Rising Poverty

Co wiedzieliśmy na początku

• Just over half of Nigerians were in poverty last year, up from about 42% in 2022.
• The NGX crossed N160 trillion on Aug 10, 2026, with the index at 248,529.75 points.
• Average inflation fell to 15.51% in H1 2026, but prior purchasing power remains lost.
• Elections are due in 2027, shaping how the cost-of-living debate is read.

Wtedy jeszcze otwarte

• No agreed poverty count exists across sources, with alternative estimates at 63% and 79% poor or vulnerable.
• No verified path yet from market capitalisation growth to household income recovery.

Na co mieliśmy zwracać uwagę

• Whether disinflation continues long enough to rebuild real wages before the 2027 vote.
• Whether listed-market gains broaden into jobs, credit and public services outside major cities.
