Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, is set to use the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meetings in Davos to address investor concerns around policy consistency, inflation, foreign exchange stability, and fiscal sustainability.
The engagement forms part of Nigeria’s participation at the WEF Annual Meetings holding from January 19 to 23, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland, according to information from the Federal Ministry of Finance.
Nigeria’s presence at the forum comes amid a fragmented global economy, with the country positioning itself as a stable, reform-oriented market seeking deeper dialogue with investors and development partners.
Nigeria’s message at Davos, according to the information, is anchored on demonstrating reform credibility and macroeconomic discipline in an uncertain global environment.
The government says this progress underpins its claim that reforms are delivering measurable outcomes rather than future promises.
Nigeria’s engagement at WEF 2026 is led by Vice President Kashim Shettima, with Minister Edun participating as an invited VIP engaging global leaders, investors, development finance institutions, and international media.
This approach, according to the Ministry of Finance, is aimed at reinforcing confidence in Nigeria’s policy framework amid global volatility.
For investors and development partners, Nigeria’s engagement signals a willingness to directly confront concerns that often weigh on investment decisions in emerging markets.
By prioritising listening alongside signalling, the government says it hopes to sustain confidence in its macroeconomic direction and deepen investor engagement, particularly from Europe and the United Kingdom.
Nigeria’s Davos strategy goes beyond engagement for visibility and seeks to convert dialogue into concrete investment decisions.
This focus reflects Nigeria’s broader reform agenda centred on domestic resource mobilisation, private-sector-led growth, and institutional credibility.
Nigeria’s message at WEF 2026 is shaped by wider global realities affecting emerging markets.
