Nigeria is set to present a reform-focused message at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meetings in Davos, Switzerland, engaging global leaders, investors, and development partners on the country’s economic direction.

Led by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the delegation includes Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, who will meet with heads of government, multinational investors, and global media to showcase Nigeria’s commitment to macroeconomic stability, market-oriented reforms, and the operational independence of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

In a statement, the Ministry of Finance emphasized that Nigeria’s presence at Davos (January 19–23, 2026) positions the country in the global dialogue on how emerging markets can navigate economic volatility while maintaining reform momentum. The government aims to demonstrate measurable progress on reforms implemented since May 2023, highlighting stronger growth, moderating inflation, rising external buffers, and renewed international confidence following the country’s removal from major global financial grey lists.

“The focus is on accountability—showing up to report progress, not just promise intent,” the ministry said, stressing that Nigeria will engage with development finance institutions, investors, ratings agencies, and multinational corporations to address concerns around policy consistency, foreign exchange stability, fiscal sustainability, and inflation management.

Davos 2026 is expected to serve as a platform for converting investment discussions into actionable commitments across sectors such as energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, agriculture, technology, and financial services. Minister Edun will press investors on specific policy frameworks and assurances required to move projects toward financial close, marking a shift from promotion to practical problem-solving.

The government also highlighted that Nigeria’s reform agenda aligns with global trends, including tighter capital flows to emerging markets, rising debt burdens, technological impacts on labor markets, and evolving climate finance dynamics. By focusing on domestic resource mobilization, private-sector-led growth, institutional credibility, and macroeconomic stability, Nigeria aims to reinforce investor confidence and strengthen international partnerships amid global uncertainty.
