The fuel subsidy removal, while potentially necessary for long-term fiscal sustainability, has undeniably exacerbated the cost-of-living crisis for many Nigerians. The government's communication regarding the benefits of the reform has not resonated with a population grappling with immediate economic hardship. To regain public trust, the government must demonstrate tangible progress in utilizing the freed-up funds for social development and implement more effective and transparent social safety nets. Moving forward, the government must prioritize a more phased approach to economic reforms, coupled with robust measures to mitigate their immediate impact on the most vulnerable segments of society.

By contrast, the reciprocal tariffs are an unprecedented reversal not only of the US’s commitment to free trade, but also of its leadership in establishing the institutions overseeing this commitment like the World Trade Organization and its dispute settlement system. The trade war already triggered by these tariffs will irreversibly harm the poorest countries while fundamentally undermining the ability of global trading of the World Trade Organization to do anything about this.

Join us for the launch of Afronomicslaw’s latest quarterly report, "The Impact of IMF Recommended Consumption Tax Policy on Africa’s Rising Public Debt Levels" by Marie-Louise Aren. This report critically explores the IMF’s consumption tax policies and their adverse effects on borrower nations, particularly in Africa and the Global South. It examines how the IMF’s emphasis on consumption taxes like VAT, when used as a tool for revenue mobilization, often leads to regressive outcomes by exacerbating inequality, increasing poverty, and contributing to unsustainable public debt.
