石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社8月27日消息称，由于石油产量下降，尼日利亚经济增长连续第二个季度放缓。 位于阿布吉的国家统计局周一在Twitter上发布的一份报告称，截至6月份的三个月中，非洲最大原油生产国的国内生产总值同比增长了1.5％。相比之下，第一季度为1.95％。 在此期间，石油日产量降至184万桶。这是自去年第一季度以来的最低点，当时尼日利亚经济正在收缩。虽然燃料占GDP的9％，但原油是这个西非国家最大的外国收入来源。统计学家Yemi Kale在推特上说，作物产量增长速度是自1987年以来最慢的。 尼日利亚的经济正在努力从2016年的第一次收缩中恢复过来，当时石油的价格和产量在几十年内下降最多。国际货币基金组织（IMF）在2017年预测，随着原油行业的改善，以及进口所需的更多外币，2017年的经济增长率将从2017年的不到1%降至2.1%。 穆罕默德·布哈里总统于今年6月签署了9.1万亿奈拉（250亿美元）的预算，这是该国迄今为止最大的预算，并增加了对公路，铁路，港口和电力的投资，以促进经济增长。为了进一步刺激经济增长，央行上周承诺投资企业债券，旨在为农业和制造业项目提供融资。 曹海斌 摘译自 彭博社 原文如下： Nigerian Economic Growth Slows as Oil Production Slumps Nigeria’s economic growth slowed for the second consecutive quarter as oil production fell. Gross domestic product in Africa’s largest crude producer expanded 1.5 percent in the three months through June from a year earlier, the Abuja-based National Bureau of Statistics said in a report released on Twitter Monday. That compares with 1.95 percent in the first quarter. Oil output fell to 1.84 million barrels a day in the period. That’s the lowest since the first quarter of last year, when the Nigerian economy was contracting. While the fuel accounts for 9 percent of GDP, crude is the West African nation’s biggest source of foreign income. Crop production grew at the slowest pace since 1987, Statistician General Yemi Kale said on Twitter. Nigeria’s economy is struggling to recover from its first contraction in a quarter century in 2016, when the price and output of oil fell the most in decades. The International Monetary Fund forecast this year’s economic growth at 2.1 percent from less than 1 percent in 2017 as the crude sector improves and makes available more foreign currency needed for imports. President Muhammadu Buhari in June signed a budget of 9.1 trillion naira ($25 billion) for this year, the nation’s biggest yet, and increased investment in roads, rail, ports and power to boost the economy. To further spur growth, the central bank last week pledged to invest in corporate bonds aimed at financing projects in agriculture and manufacturing.
