Breaking: Nigeria out of recession, says NBS

According to new facts shared by the NBS DG, the economy grew by 0.55% in GDP terms for Q2 2017 after five consecutive quarters of contractions since Q1 2016.

The Statistician General of the Nigerian National Bureau of Statistics, Yemi Kale, just shared the news via his twitter handle. 

NBS attributes the exit from recession on the economic growth in the oil, agriculture, manufacturing and trade industries.

According to the statistics, Oil GDP recovered significantly from -11.63 per cent in Q2 2016 to 1.64 per cent in Q2 2017, while Non-oil GDP grew marginally at 0.45 per cent.

Agriculture grew 3.01 per cent in Q2 2017, from 3.39 per cent in Q1 2017. Manufacturing retained its positive growth for the second consecutive quarter in Q2 2017, growing at 0.64 percent, while trade which has a dominant share of GDP remained negative at -1.62 per cent.
