Unlocking USD 5.8 billion for Private Capital Mobilization in Nigeria

For fiscal year 2026, the World Bank Group aims to mobilize up to US$5.79 billion in private financing in Nigeria. The World Bank supports reforms and projects, the International Finance Corporation structures investments and attracts lenders and investors, and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency reduces risks through guarantees. Since mid-2023, reforms have addressed foreign-exchange management, public finances and fuel subsidies; further measures target capital markets, digital trade and private participation in electricity. The effort is intended to direct investment toward areas including digital infrastructure, agriculture and financing for small businesses.
