Business conditions, operating environment remain difficult, LCCI says | The Guardian Nigeria News

The overall economy and business conditions for manufacturers and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the first half year remained challenging due to rising interest rates, inflationary pressure, foreign exchange scarcity and the liberalisation of the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry, the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry has revealed.

He indicated that the half-yearly event reviewed vital policy developments and macroeconomic performance, showing outlook and expectations for the next half of the year as well as risks and opportunities. The International Monetary Fund had in its July 2023 World Economic Outlook update, lowered its growth projection for Nigeria in 2023 to 3.2 per cent from 3.3 per cent in 2022, reflecting worsening security issues in the oil sector, policy risks, and skyrocketing inflation.

He, however, urged the government to consider the urgent need for an all-encompassing economic and fiscal plan, full/ partial divestment of state-owned real estate, improved transport sector and energy assets as post-election priorities; focus more on asset-based and equity offerings to improve revenue as well as an urgent institutional reorganisation for the CBN and NNPC to improve transparency and accountability.
