Macroeconomic outlook
In this chapter, we focus on the current economic situation and outlook taking into
consideration (1) the massive negative shock from much lower oil prices and (2) the
adjustment policy implemented so far, in particular since the 2016 currency depreciation
and subsequent economic recession.
1. Review of past episodes of lower oil prices
Nigerian GDP growth is closely related to the dynamics global oil prices. In order to assess
the macroeconomic outlook in the aftermaths of the oil price shock in 2014, past episodes
of oil price downfalls and their impact in terms of economic performances and of policies’
changes are reviewed. Indeed, several variables play a significant role in economic
recovery.

Box: Summary of Macroeconomic Adjustments for Past Oil Shocks in Nigeria
1982 Oil Crisis Oil price fell when President S. Shagari was in his third year of Presidency. He
was then ousted in a military coup in 1983 and President M. Buhari formed a
government. Within a year, his rule felt due to a coup and General I.B.
Babangida assumed Presidency from 1985 to 1993.
Meanwhile, the economy registered high inflation and unemployment level;
low foreign exchange reserves could barely cover one month of imports. It was
only as late as 1986 that IMF’s structural adjustment programs were
implemented and the economy slowly bounced back as oil prices too rose.
1999 Oil Crisis In 1999, O. Obasanjo came to power as the first democratically elected
President after the 6 years of General S. Abacha’s rule, considered one of the
most corrupt rulers of Nigerian history. The economy started to improve slowly
