January 29, (THEWILL) — PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Nigeria and BusinessDay Media have announced plans to host a high-level CEO roundtable discussing Nigeria’s 2026 budget and its implications for the business environment, investment climate, and economic growth prospects.
The event, scheduled for later this quarter in Lagos, will bring together chief executives, policymakers, economists, and industry leaders to dissect key elements of the federal budget and provide strategic insights on how it could influence corporate planning and market expectations.
According to the organisers, discussions will centre on revenue generation strategies, fiscal sustainability, sectoral priorities, and the broader outlook for Nigeria’s economy in the face of persistent inflationary pressures, currency volatility, and ongoing reforms. Special focus will be placed on how the budget’s provisions could impact tax policy, capital expenditure programmes, and private-sector participation in key industries such as energy, agriculture, and technology.
Executives are expected to share perspectives on opportunities and risks embedded in the 2026 fiscal framework, as well as the structural reforms needed to enhance economic competitiveness and investor confidence.
The event also reflects a growing trend of public-private engagement on fiscal policy matters, as businesses seek clearer guidance on regulatory direction, budgeting priorities, and expectations for macroeconomic stability in the coming year.
