World Bank: Nigeria faces $6.4bn sovereign Eurobond principal maturing 2024–2030

On Oct 6, 2026 the World Bank's October 2026 Africa Economic Update estimated Nigeria faces about $6.4bn of sovereign Eurobond principal falling due between 2024 and 2030, ranking joint third in sub‑Saharan Africa's maturity burden and concentrating near‑term rollover risk for the sovereign and dollar corporates.

Concentrated principal maturing 2024–2030 raises near‑term rollover risk by increasing discount rates on affected maturities and potentially widening sovereign spreads if investors demand higher premia. That tightening can transmit to dollar‑denominated corporates via higher dollar yields, FX/reserve pressures and reduced investor risk appetite, particularly where refinancing replaces repayment.
