Background of the Study
Combined fiscal reforms integrate various policy instruments such as tax reforms, expenditure rationalization, and debt management strategies to strengthen economic resilience. In Nigeria, these reforms are implemented to address long-standing fiscal weaknesses and bolster the country’s capacity to withstand economic shocks (Adeyemi, 2023). By unifying diverse fiscal measures, policymakers aim to create a more robust economic framework that not only mitigates risks but also promotes sustainable growth. The strategic alignment of fiscal reforms is critical in reducing vulnerabilities associated with external market fluctuations and internal fiscal mismanagement (Okoro, 2024). Empirical evidence highlights that when fiscal reforms are comprehensive and well-coordinated, they enhance economic stability and resilience (Balogun, 2025). This study examines the extent to which combined fiscal reforms contribute to national economic resilience, exploring how integrated policies can buffer the economy against downturns while fostering long-term development.
Statement of the Problem
Nigeria’s economy remains susceptible to external shocks and domestic fiscal inefficiencies despite various reform efforts. Fragmented fiscal policies and inconsistent implementation of reform measures have limited the country’s ability to achieve resilient economic growth (Okoro, 2024). Structural vulnerabilities, such as heavy reliance on oil revenues and fiscal mismanagement, continue to compromise economic stability. Without an effective and coordinated approach to fiscal reform, the nation’s capacity to absorb shocks and sustain growth is undermined, necessitating an in-depth evaluation of current fiscal strategies (Adeyemi, 2023; Balogun, 2025).
