Overview
Niger's fdi outflows stood at 0.05% in 2025, a decline of +0.05% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.05% by 2025. Niger ranked 129th globally.
Niger’s foreign direct investment (FDI) outflows have remained modest, registering a value of 0.05 in 2025, which places the country at 129th globally and ties it with peers such as Ukraine (0.05) and Guinea (0.05). Over the 52‑year series, the outflow trajectory has been volatile: the all‑time peak of 1.20 occurred in 1992, reflecting a brief period of heightened external investment activity, while the deepest trough of –2.60 was recorded in 2010, indicating a sharp reversal of capital flows during that year. The early record from 1974 shows an outflow of 0.03, suggesting that Niger’s recent figure is higher than the initial baseline but still far below its historic high. The long‑run pattern points to a low‑level, fluctuating outflow environment, constrained by limited domestic absorption capacity and external risk perceptions. Strengthening the investment climate, improving regulatory transparency, and diversifying the export base could help shift the outflow balance toward net inflows and alter the current modest trend.
