About the Webinar

The recent upgrade of Nigeria’s long-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit rating from B- to B marks a significant milestone in the country’s economic recovery journey and serves as a positive signal to global investors. This upgrade reflects growing confidence in ongoing economic reforms, particularly improvements in foreign exchange market liberalization, increased oil production, and enhanced monetary and fiscal policy coordination.

However, achieving full investment-grade status demands sustained macroeconomic discipline, institutional stability, and structural reforms. As part of the campaign to build a trillion-dollar economy by 2030, DataPro Limited is organizing this webinar to focus specifically on the key disciplines required to support these investment-grade aspirations.
