尼日利亚总统博拉·提努布表示，尼日利亚将把经济政策目标从实施“紧急救治”转向实现共同繁荣。在明年一月的关键选举前，他将自己定位为解决民生问题的最佳人选。
Nigeria will shift its economic policy goal from administering “emergency treatment” to delivering shared prosperity, President Bola Tinubu said, pitching himself as the best person to address welfare concerns ahead of crunch elections in January.
提努布对尼日利亚经济进行的三年改革大幅提高了家庭和企业的生存与运营成本。特别是2023年取消燃油补贴计划后，汽油价格上涨了五倍多。但在周四的独立日演讲中，提努布表示“紧急救治已经结束”，并补充说“经济基础已经得到修复”。提努布将在大选中再次面对熟悉的对手——承诺恢复燃油补贴的阿提库·阿布巴卡尔和彼得·奥比。
Tinubu’s three-year overhaul of Nigeria’s economy has dramatically raised living and operational costs for households and businesses. The removal of a fuel subsidy scheme in particular has raised petrol prices over five-fold since 2023. But “the emergency treatment is over,” Tinubu said on Thursday in an Independence Day address, adding that “the foundation has been repaired.”Tinubu will face familiar opponents Atiku Abubakar — who has pledged to reinstate fuel subsidies — and Peter Obi in a repeat of the last presidential election.
尼日利亚经济在最近几个季度稳步增长。然而，在提努布执政期间，该国债务负担增加了20%，达到545亿美元。本周，他延长了去年预算的执行期限，这凸显了一个可能使债务偿还计划复杂化的宽松财政框架。
Nigeria’s economy has grown steadily in recent quarters. However, the country’s debt burden has risen by 20% to $54.5 billion under Tinubu, who this week extended the timeline for implementing last year’s budget, underscoring a loose fiscal framework that could complicate debt servicing plans. — Alexander Onukwue
