PwC Nigeria, in partnership with BusinessDay, will host an executive roundtable on January 29 (today) to discuss Nigeria’s 2026 budget and economic outlook, bringing together chief executives and C-suite leaders as businesses pivot from macroeconomic stabilisation to growth.
The invitation-only session comes after Nigeria implemented a series of monetary, foreign exchange (FX) and fiscal reforms in 2025 that policymakers say have helped restore a measure of stability to an economy once riddled with volatility.
With inflation now easing from recent peaks and FX markets functioning more smoothly, corporate leaders are increasingly focused on how to translate that stability into sustainable expansion — key issues that will be deliberated on at the event.
Discussions at the roundtable will be guided by PwC’s Economic Outlook 2026 and an analysis of the federal government’s 2026 budget. The event will also feature the launch of Nigeria-specific findings from PwC’s 29th Annual Global CEO Survey, which tracks business sentiment and strategic priorities across major economies.
Themed ‘Nigeria’s Economic Outlook 2026: The Executive Playbook for Growth, Resilience, and Efficiency,’ the forum, at its second edition, is expected to examine capital allocation decisions, balance-sheet management and sector-specific opportunities, as well as the policy assumptions underpinning corporate planning for the year ahead.
“Nigeria has achieved improved macroeconomic stability over the past year,” Sam Abu, PwC Nigeria’s country senior partner, said ahead of the event scheduled to hold in Lagos. “The focus now is how that stability is translated into sustainable economic growth, and how businesses position for 2026.”
Abu said the roundtable will give executives a platform to debate “the practical choices that matter most in the year ahead, from capital allocation and balance-sheet discipline to resilience strategies, policy dependencies and sector-specific opportunities.”
Nigeria’s government has pitched the 2026 budget as a consolidation phase following sweeping reforms that included currency liberalisation, fuel subsidy removal and tighter monetary policy.
While those measures strained households and corporate margins in the short term, recent data show they have improved fiscal transparency and investor confidence, setting the stage for a more durable recovery if reforms are sustained.
BusinessDay, Nigeria’s leading business and financial newspaper, is co-hosting the event as part of its engagement with senior executives on policy, markets and corporate strategy.
Organisers say the discussion will focus on how companies can use the current macro backdrop to improve efficiency, manage risk and unlock growth in sectors ranging from manufacturing and financial services to energy and technology.
