LAGOS — PwC Nigeria expects the economy to grow by 4.2 per cent in the second half of 2026 but says the benefits of reforms have not yet reached households, projecting a poverty rate of 63 per cent this year. Its outlook notes that foreign portfolio investment made up 95 per cent of capital inflows in the first quarter, while direct investment was only $135 million. It also highlighted that only 7.32 million of 12.38 million electricity customers have meters.
