In the meantime, the economy is already recovering, and growth of around 3.5 per cent is forecast for the coming years. Nigeria offers the necessary foundations for the expansion of production locations, especially in the areas of agribusiness, food processing, e-commerce and the construction and energy sectors. In addition, according to GTAI, the waste and recycling management sector is likely to gain in importance in the future. For Germany, Nigeria is the second largest trading partner in sub-Saharan Africa after South Africa, with a trade volume of over two billion USD.
