Economic analysts have predicted that the Nigerian economy will maintain positive macro-economic indices in 2013.

Speaking on Channels Television’s weekend programme, Sunrise, the analysts including the Deputy Governor (Operations) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Tunde Lemo; an Economist, Henry Boyo; and a Bank Executive, Foluke Aboderin, agreed that Nigeria would see higher growth, higher equity valuations, robust reserves accretion, firm oil prices and slightly lower inflation next year.

Mr Lemo said statistics from the CBN showed Nigeria’s foreign reserves which has moved in tandem with higher oil prices up to 34.9 per cent, has reached $44.340 billion.
