Driven by the resurgence of the oil sector and robust tech and finance sectors, Nigerias GDP grew 4.6% year over year in Q4 2024, marking its best growth in a decade. In 2025, the World Bank forecasts 3.6% GDP growth, but cautions that high inflation is still a problem. Reforms implemented by President Bola Tinubu, such as the elimination of fuel subsidies, depreciation of the naira, and power outages, have restored budgetary stability but raised pressures on the expense of living. Over $37 billion in foreign reserves protect Nigeria from outside fluctuations. Helped by increased tax collections and remittances, the budget deficit decreased from 5.4% of GDP in 2023 to 3% of GDP in 2024. Read More..

India Proposes $7.6 Billion in Retaliatory Tariffs Against U.S. Steel Duties

India has informed the World Trade Organisation WTO of its intention to impose retaliatory tariffs on a set of U.S. imports in response to Washingtons

India has informed the World Trade Organisation WTO of its intention to impose retaliatory tariffs on a set of U.S. imports in response to Washingtons steel and aluminium charges. With an estimated duty collection of $1.91 billion, the move targets $7.6 billion worth of U.S. goods. India decided to halt concessions because it claims that the U.S. safeguard measures are against WTO regulations. India has proposed to cut tariff disparities by twothirds as part of a bilateral trade agreement being negotiated between the two countries. India disputes the U.S.s assertions that its tariffs are motivated by national security concerns. As the WTO considers Indias appeal, trade relations between the two economies may worsen.
