The economic outlook for a new year is important because it helps individuals, businesses, and policymakers understand the expected trends and conditions in the global economy. It provides insights into factors such as GDP growth, inflation, interest rates, employment, and consumer spending, which can influence decision-making and planning for the year ahead.

FirstBank Nigeria Economic Outlook 2025 is designed to consider various indicators and factors, including monetary policies, government spending, trade relations, and global economic conditions with the crop of experts that would be at the session. By analyzing the economic outlook, our customers, individuals and businesses can make informed decisions regarding investments, hiring practices, pricing strategies, and overall financial planning.
