Structural reforms under the Transformation Agenda are ongoing, but significant infrastructure gaps and weak institutional capacity still retard growth prospects. At the same time, vulnerabilities are rising in the buildup to general elections in 2015 and fiscal buffers have been reduced. Meanwhile, GDP is being rebased and structural shifts may suggest a refocus in some policy areas. Outlook and Risks. Growth is expected to remain strong, driven by agriculture, trade, and services. Inflation should continue to decline, in line with a tight monetary policy, and a lowering trend in food prices from higher rice and wheat production. Key downside risks are (i) persistently lower oil revenue from changing global dynamics and lower domestic production; (ii) less prudent fiscal policy through the ongoing political cycle; (iii) ongoing security problems in the North; (iv) uncertainty about the pace of global recovery; and (v) capital flow reversals from the expected unwinding of unconventional monetary policy (UMP) in the advanced economies or increased domestic political risk. Addressing oil theft/production losses. In the event of persistent pressures, the naira should be allowed to adjust and reserve adequacy maintained. Improving competitiveness and productivity to generate inclusive growth will require wide-ranging structural reforms. Three key areas could help promote inclusive growth - increasing the delivery of power, broadening the agricultural production base, and increasing access to finance for SMEs. Support for sectoral growth should be underpinned by improvements in competitiveness rather than by protectionist measures"-- Abstract. 588 0 Online resource; title from pdf title page (IMF Web site, viewed Arp. 24, 2014). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 International Monetary Fund|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n81052755|zNigeria.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79056412-781 610 24 International Monetary Fund. 610 27 International Monetary Fund.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/556666 650 0 Economic development|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85040804|zNigeria.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79056412-781 650 0 Fiscal policy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85048601|zNigeria.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n79056412-781 650 0 Debts, External|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85036140|zNigeria.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n79056412-781 650 0 Structural adjustment (Economic policy)|zNigeria.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008112328 650 0 Economic indicators|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85040831|zNigeria.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79056412-781 650 7 Economic development.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 901785 650 7 Economic policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 902025 650 7 Fiscal policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/925806 650 7 Debts, External.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 888828 650 7 Structural adjustment (Economic policy)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1135588 650 7 Economic indicators.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 901996 651 0 Nigeria|xEconomic policy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010103319 651 7 Nigeria.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205229 655 4 Electronic books. 710 2 International Monetary Fund.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n81052755 776 08 |iPrint version:|aInternational Monetary Fund.|tNigeria : 2013 article IV consultation, staff report; press release and statement by the executive director for Nigeria. |dWashington, District of Columbia : International Monetary Fund, c2014|happroximately 104 pages|kIMF Country Report ; Number 14/103|z9781484357903 830 0 IMF country report ;|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /no2001029774|vno. 14/103. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1254765|zOnline eBook.
