February 2017 2 1 PwC -World in 2050 Contents PwC -World in 2050 NIGERIA 3 1 PwC -World in 2050 Executive summary: key findings • We project the world economy to grow at an average of just over 2.5% per annum in terms of real GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) in the period 2016 – 50, doubling in size by 2042. • But we expect a slowdown in global growth after 2020, as the rate of expansion in China and some other major emerging economies moderates to a more sustainable long-term rate, and as working age population growth slows in many large economies. • The global economic power shift away from the established advanced economies in North America, Western Europe and Japan will continue over the next 34 years. India is projected to become the second largest economy in the world by 2038 in PPP terms (third in MER terms) and China is expected to be the world’s largest economy in both PPP and MER terms by 2030. • Emerging economies such as Mexico and Indonesia are projected to be larger than the UK and France by 2030 (in PPP terms) while Vietnam could become larger than Italy and Canada. • Vietnam is projected to record the highest annual average real GDP per capita growth over the period 2016 – 2050 at 4.5%, while Bangladesh and India are forecast to achieve growth levels of around 4%. • Growth in other emerging economies such as Nigeria, Pakistan and Egypt is largely driven by demographic change as they are projected to experience strong increases in total population and working age population between 2016 and 2050. • But for the majority of economies in our analysis, annual working age population growth is slower than annual total population growth and this acts as a drag on GDP per capita. • While the emerging economies are projected to experience the highest real GDP growth rates, they still lag well behind the G7 in terms of GDP per capita levels in 2050.

Nigeria’s population alone is estimated to be around 400 million in 2050, equivalent to around 56% of Europe’s population, making it the third most populous country in the world. Hence, the challenge over the next few years is ensuring output growth keeps pace with population growth while the country transitions from an oil economy to a nonoil economy. Source PwC Analysis NIGERIA PwC Issues Recommended Actions Improving tax collection Nigeria is a low-taxed economy, the second lowest in Africa and the fourth lowest in the world. Excluding oil and gas revenues, tax receipts are estimated at just 3% of GDP. If these could be increased to the Sub-Saharan African economies’ average of 18% of GDP, Nigeria could potentially raise its tax revenues to around $104 billion, the equivalent of Morocco’s total GDP in 2013 Higher tax revenues would reduce government borrowing and encourage financial institutions to offer fund at lower interest rates, thereby boosting the real economy Economic diversification Nigeria’s potential advantages for future growth include a large consumer market, a strategic geographic location as a hub for Africa, and a young and entrepreneurial population The first step in harnessing this opportunity requires deliberate efforts to improve value-adding activity in the non-oil economy, particularly in agriculture and the services sectors Corruption If Nigeria reduces corruption, there is a significant opportunity to boost GDP levels. For example, if corruption in Nigeria could be reduced in the long-run to estimated levels in Malaysia, we estimate that annual GDP could rise by over $500 billion by 2030 Deliberate efforts to reduce corruption will complement the Confidential Information for Nigerian the sole benefit and use of PwC’s Client. drive government’s diversification February 2017 7 1 PwC -World in 2050 World in 2050 Five ways in which Nigeria can support inclusive growth (2/2) Between now and 2050, over half of global population growth will occur in Africa so that there will be 2.4 billion Africans in 2050, more than three times Europe’s population.

Issues Recommended Actions Easing the constraints to business A weak business environment is holding back Nigeria’s economic growth potential and slowing down the pace of development Nigeria will need to particularly focus on improving electricity, simplifying the tax collection process, and improving trading across borders so as to leverage its position as the hub of West Africa Increasing labour productivity Nigeria has the advantage of a large workforce of over 70 million, but the majority are under-skilled. Average productivity of a worker in Nigeria is very low at US$3.24/hr relative to US$19.68/hr in South Africa and US$29.34/hr in Turkey Improvements in productivity will require investments to ensure a broad availability of good quality education as well as relevant vocational training to improve value-added activity across key sectors such as manufacturing and services.

Nevertheless, with excess capacity in the market and downside risks to global growth, a further drop in prices remains a possibility Oil production volumes: Production disruptions owing to the Niger-Delta conflict presents a key risk to revenues. Moreover, the last time oil production volumes in Nigeria hit 2.2mbpd was in 2006 under more benign conditions in the Niger-Delta Reform implementation: A failure to implement key reforms in particular, the energy sector and the foreign exchange market could keep investor confidence weak and limit Foreign Direct Investment and Foreign Portfolio flows Higher yields: A potential increase in the domestic bond issuance pipeline would keep upward pressure on yields, thus increasing domestic financing costs. We estimate the size of bond issuances could increase by as much as 35% to N1.29 trillion (2016: N955.7 billion) Confidential Information for the sole benefit and use of PwC’s Client.

Capital Expenditure is usually the first causality as recurrent (non-debt) expenditure is treated as non-discretionary External borrowings: More volatile global financial market conditions could constrain external financing, putting additional pressure on reserves, domestic liquidity, and credit. Concessionary borrowing from Development Financial Institutions (DFIs) would usually require an agreement to comply with stringent reforms. Without cheap funding from these sources, Nigeria will need to rely on commercial funding at much steeper rates Confidential Information for the sole benefit and use of PwC’s Client.
