PwC suggests Nigeria can move HDI from 0.5 to 0.7 by 2030 by focusing on 3 critical levers: (i) increasing labour productivity: (ii) improving the Ease of Doing Business; and (iii) reducing corruption by improvements in the Corruption Perception Index.

Our analysis identifies Agriculture, Petroleum (Petrochemical and Refining), Retail, and ICT as priority sectors with the most dominant transmission links to the overall economy. These sectors in the medium-to-long term are key to boosting other sectors like manufacturing.

Forward linkages to agroprocessing and other services such as logistics as well as backward integration to input supply sectors could improve farm incomes, increase employment and improve domestic food… Show more

Forward linkages to agroprocessing and other services such as logistics as well as backward integration to input supply sectors could improve farm incomes, increase employment and improve domestic food security.

In this report, we use empirical literature and PwC analysis to formulate the ways in which corruption impacts the Nigerian economy over time and estimate the impacts of corruption on the Nigerian Gross Domestic Product (GDP). We estimate the ‘foregone output’ in Nigeria since the onset of democracy in 1999 and the ‘output opportunity’ to be gained by 2030, from reducing corruption to comparison countries that are also rich in natural resources. The countries we chose for comparison are Ghana… Show more

In this report, we use empirical literature and PwC analysis to formulate the ways in which corruption impacts the Nigerian economy over time and estimate the impacts of corruption on the Nigerian Gross Domestic Product (GDP). We estimate the ‘foregone output’ in Nigeria since the onset of democracy in 1999 and the ‘output opportunity’ to be gained by 2030, from reducing corruption to comparison countries that are also rich in natural resources. The countries we chose for comparison are Ghana, Colombia and Malaysia.

The results show that corruption in Nigeria could cost up to 37% of GDP by 2030 if it’s not dealt with immediately. This cost is equated to around $1,000 per person in 2014 and nearly $2,000 per person that lives in Nigeria by 2030. Show less

PwC examines the implications of the dramatic drop in oil prices for the Nigerian economy. How will Africa's largest economy cope with this shock to a commodity that provides over 90% of export earnings and over 70% of government revenue.

A strong economy and economy requires a fit-for-purpose financial system. This paper looks at the financial systems in 8 emerging markets across 8 key dimensions to evaluate how they are doing and how they need to keep developing.

This is an exciting chapter in corporate Japan's history. It's a time of change and transformation.
Globalisation. Innovation. Fast-paced emerging markets in Japan's backyard. These are only a few of the many opportunities for corporate leaders to seize, to move quickly and make bold decisions to redefine and reposition their organisations - decisions that will leverage existing strengths to improve global competitiveness and enable Japan Inc. to continue as an economic trailblazer. In many ways, Japan is the world’s first advanced economy to face challenges such as an ageing society and how to innovate in order to thrive in an increasingly complex global business environment. How Japan tackles these challenges will serve as models for the world. Change can be difficult. It presents a measure of uncertainty that requires bold leadership. While there is a measure of risk in pursuing new strategies and ideas, the risks of doing nothing are far greater.

Corporate Japan is in an excellent position to capitalise on this critical moment in history. How can your company start the process of strategic and operational transformation? Show less
