Given its rich resources, large population and regional importance, Nigeria's economic performance
over the past decade can only be described as disappointing. Low investment and productivity levels,
as well as poor infrastructure, have led to poor output. Political instability and a terrible human rights
record have frightened off many potential foreign investors. However, a new government, and a
package of economic measures including an exchange rate reform, may be able to put the nation on a
path to recovery and growth.
