FULL LIST: Nigeria, Others Not Indebted To IMF

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has removed Nigeria from its list of debtor-countries.

Established in 1944, IMF supports countries’ economic growth by providing financial aid and guidance on policies to enhance stability, productivity, and job opportunities.

Countries seek loans from the IMF to address economic crises, stabilise their currencies, implement structural reforms, and alleviate balance of payments difficulties.

Nigeria has joined Switzerland, Singapore, China and New Zealand on the list of the countries not indebted to the IMF.

The country cleared the $1.6 billion debt it owed the IMF.

In a report, titled: “Total IMF Credit Outstanding – Movement from May 01, 2025 to May 06, 2025,” obtained on the multilateral institution’s website on Wednesday, Nigeria was not listed among the debtors, which had 91 developing and least developed countries owing the fund a total of $117,797,656,224 as at May 6, 2025.

Total IMF credit outstanding refers to the total amount of unpaid and outstanding principal due to the fund from its member countries. This includes both outstanding loans under current arrangements and those that have expired.
