Business Outlook
Overview:
Global output growth has already slowed. While the debt crisis in the Euro area has been the focus of attention for much of 2011, it is however only one of a number of issues which could trigger a return to the finance-led recession from which the world economy started to emerge in 2010. Although Nigeria had escaped relatively unscathed, the gathering storms are a source for concern. Nigeria’s economy is no longer as detached from the global economic space as it had been a few years ago – how will we fare if the gathering storms give way?
Important as the global issues are, localised issues, especially acceleration of progress in the reform agenda, the seeming conflict between fiscal and monetary policies cannot be ignored – indeed they suggest a need for careful reflection. How will any short term discomforts affect the long-term prospects for and opportunities within the economy in Nigeria?
