The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has outlined Nigeria’s ongoing economic reform agenda at the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026 in Davos, Switzerland, reaffirming the country’s commitment to fiscal discipline, macroeconomic stability and investor confidence.

Speaking at Nigeria House on the sidelines of the global economic gathering, Edun said Nigeria has moved decisively from a phase of economic stabilisation to one of consolidation, with reforms now firmly embedded to support sustainable growth and long-term development.

According to the Minister, the federal government is focused on building a predictable and transparent economic environment that encourages private-sector-led growth, strengthens institutions and restores confidence among local and international investors.

He stressed that the reforms being implemented are designed to ensure stability while laying the foundation for inclusive prosperity.

Edun explained that Nigeria’s reform efforts are anchored on sound fiscal management, improved coordination of economic policy and a strong commitment to market-driven principles.

He noted that these measures are critical to positioning the country competitively in a global economy marked by uncertainty and shifting investment patterns.

He also highlighted the strategic importance of Nigeria House at the World Economic Forum, describing it as a one-stop hub for dialogue, engagement and deal-making.

The platform, he said, provides an opportunity for government officials, investors, development partners and business leaders to interact, exchange ideas and explore partnerships that align with Nigeria’s economic priorities.

The Minister added that Nigeria is deliberately positioning itself as an emerging destination for sustainable and long-term investment, particularly at a time when global investors are seeking stable markets with strong growth potential.

He said the country’s large market, reform momentum and improving policy environment make it attractive for capital inflows across key sectors of the economy.

Participants at Nigeria House engaged in discussions around investment opportunities, policy reforms and Nigeria’s role in driving economic growth in Africa.

The engagements formed part of broader efforts to showcase Nigeria’s reform progress and reinforce its readiness to engage the global investment community.

The World Economic Forum 2026 brings together world leaders, policymakers, business executives and thought leaders to discuss pressing global economic and development issues, with Nigeria using the platform to advance its reform narrative and economic outlook.
