\n

With Nigeria\u2019s economy projected to grow by 2.7% in 2022 as predicted by The International Monetary Fund (IMF) based on an expected recovery in crude oil prices and production, Nigeria will see economic activities normalizing. Key economic activities to watch out for in 2022 include the Global Market trends, removal of subsidies, and floatation of the Naira. However, recoveries in the oil sector and maximization of the e-Naira could help keep the parallel market in check.\u202f<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bismarck <\/span>Rewane<\/span>, the Managing Director\/Chief Executive Officer of Financial Derivatives Company Limited and the event’s keynote speaker will lead deliberations at the event.

Speaking on the event, the <\/span>Group Head, Marketing & Corporate Communications<\/span> of FirstBank, <\/span>Ms<\/span>.<\/span> Folake Ani-Mumuney <\/span>said \u2018being woven into fabric of the society for over 127 years means that <\/span>we provide value<\/span>, <\/span>support<\/span> and innovation<\/span>–<\/span>driven solutions<\/span> for <\/span>our stakeholders regardless of the challenges of the pandemic<\/span>. Our commitment to nation-building is anchored partly on our thought leadership role <\/span>designed to relentlessly drive growth and scale<\/span> for all<\/span> through engagements that showcase <\/span>versatile <\/span>subject matter experts endowed <\/span>with<\/span> <\/span>expertise, <\/span>knowledge<\/span> and <\/span>valuable <\/span>insights<\/span>. <\/span>The webinar provides a platform for cross fertilization of ideas and opportunities to learn and grow.  <\/span>Nigeria is<\/span> a<\/span> country rich in human and natural resources and these have helped in the reforms and resilience reflected in <\/span>the <\/span>econom<\/span>y <\/span>in 2021\u2019.  <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The COVID 19 pandemic brought disruption and challenges and largely Nigeria adopted measures to contain it. The pandemic also provided opportunities <\/span>for rebuilding and facilitating economic transformation <\/span>to close the gap with <\/span>the rest of the world. <\/span>These include innovations in inf<\/span>ormation technologies (IT) <\/span>which have been critical to <\/span>ensuring business continuity and productivity among firms th<\/span>at have<\/span> re-designed their work processes<\/span> as well as<\/span> telecommunications and payment systems<\/span> <\/span>in the e-commerce sub-sector<\/span>. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whilst m<\/span>any of the current <\/span>government <\/span>policies are aimed at absorbing the shocks induced by the pandemic<\/span>, it is important to note that <\/span>an economy that seeks to recover and build resilience should be one that<\/span> focuses on<\/span> innovation and creativity<\/span> in driving<\/span> its goal.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The event is for everyone as discussants will have the economic outlook for 2022 dissected so participants are knowledgeably equipped to make the right decisions thereby better planning<\/span> <\/span>their business and financial activities.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
