EIA: Country Analysis Brief: Nigeria - June 2020 - eng (pdf) Избранное
Nigeria is the largest crude oil producer in Africa and holds the largest natural gas reserves on the African continent. Hydrocarbon production is an important revenue stream for the government, but commodity price swings and sporadic supply disruptions to production are significant risk factors for the government and the economy.
- Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa. It holds the largest natural gas reserves on the continent and was the world’s fifth–largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2018.[1] Although Nigeria is the leading crude oil producer in Africa, production is affected by sporadic supply disruptions.
- Nigeria’s crude oil and natural gas resources are the mainstay of the country’s economy. Because Nigeria heavily depends on oil revenue, its economy is noticeably affected by crude oil price changes. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that Nigeria’s crude oil and natural gas exports earned $55 billion in 2018, which is $23 billion higher than in 2016.[2] The growth in export revenue, which can be partly attributed to the rebound in crude oil prices, has helped improve Nigeria’s fiscal position. However, Nigeria’s fiscal deficit remained flat at 4% of its gross domestic product (GDP) because of a significant increase in capital expenditures and lower–than–expected non–oil revenue collection, in spite of improvements to the country’s tax administration. The Nigerian government still heavily relies on crude oil and natural gas revenue; its non–oil revenue comprises only 3.4% of GDP, one of the lowest in the world.[3]
