Nigeria’s inflation rate grew to 2.51% in Q2 2023

Recent report by the National Bureau of Statistics revealed that Nigeria Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew to 2.51% in real terms in the second quarter of 2023 from 2.31% reported in Q1 2023.

This growth rate is lower than the 3.54% recorded in the second quarter of 2022 and may be attributed to the challenging economic conditions being experienced.

The performance of the GDP in the second quarter of 2023 was driven mainly by the Services sector, which recorded a growth of 4.42% and contributed 58.42% to the aggregate GDP.


The agriculture sector grew by 1.50%, an improvement from the growth of 1.20% recorded in the second quarter of 2022. The growth of the industry sector was -1.94% relative to -2.30% recorded in the second quarter of 2022. In terms of share to the GDP, agriculture, and the industry sectors contributed less to the aggregate GDP in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022.
