Nigerian Gross Domestic Product Report (Expenditure and Income approach) Q3, Q4 2015
In real terms year on year growth in GDP increased in the third quarter, to 2.84%, before declining to 2.11% in the fourth quarter of 2015, which was the lowest level recorded in the rebased period.
Both investment (gross capital formation) and consumption expenditure contributed to the fall in the fourth quarter, however a strong recovery in growth in net exports limited the fall
National Disposable Income recorded stronger growth than GDP in the second half of 2015 in real terms, partly as a result of large increases in both compensation of employees, and property and entrepreneurial income from the rest of the world
Real year on year growth in domestic compensation of employees however, remained significantly weaker than in previous years.
