Niger's economy grew at an average rate of approximately 6.5% in the 2023-2025 period, according to the Niger Press Agency (ANP), citing data from the country's Ministry of Economy and Finance.
The agency noted that sustained economic growth in Niger was positively influenced by the conclusion of several cooperation agreements with foreign states in key sectors such as mining, agriculture, energy, and other vital areas. Furthermore, a presidential decree on the procurement and promotion of local products also contributed to the economic development.
ANP also emphasized that President Abdourahamane Tchiani's tours of Niger's regions to assess local potential and discuss possible industrialization measures had an impact on economic growth. According to the agency, in 2025, the country's authorities made several "strategic on-the-ground decisions," including continuing the Dosso oil refinery project, appointing Nigeriens to leadership positions in major companies, and implementing an irrigation program to strengthen food security.
According to estimates from the Ministry of Economy and Finance, as reported by ANP, the average economic growth rate is projected to reach 7% in the 2026-2029 period, with an expected increase in tax revenues to the national budget despite the unstable security situation and external interference in the country's internal affairs.
At the end of November, the President of Niger stated that the country would independently manage its natural resources and bring its products, including uranium, to the international market.
