Background of the Study
National economic resilience refers to an economy’s ability to withstand and recover from shocks while maintaining steady growth. In Nigeria, the interplay of FDI, GDP, and inflation is critical in determining this resilience. A strong GDP and consistent FDI inflows are generally associated with robust economic performance, while persistent inflation can undermine these gains by increasing uncertainty and eroding real incomes (Adeyemi, 2023). Recent policy initiatives have focused on creating a balanced economic environment that leverages domestic production and foreign investment while controlling inflationary pressures (Okoro, 2024). Empirical evidence suggests that the combined trends of these variables are better predictors of economic resilience than any single indicator. This study explores how the synergy between FDI, GDP, and inflation contributes to Nigeria’s ability to resist economic shocks and sustain long-term growth. It analyzes historical trends, evaluates current policy measures, and provides recommendations for enhancing economic resilience through a more integrated approach to macroeconomic management (Balogun, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Nigeria’s economic resilience is compromised by the volatile performance of key indicators—namely, GDP, FDI inflows, and inflation. Inconsistent growth, fluctuating foreign investment, and high inflation together create an environment of uncertainty, reducing the economy’s ability to absorb shocks (Adeyemi, 2023). The lack of an integrated policy framework to manage these factors hampers sustained recovery and resilience, necessitating further investigation (Okoro, 2024; Balogun, 2025).

Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it examines how the interaction of GDP, FDI, and inflation influences Nigeria’s economic resilience. The findings will guide policymakers in designing comprehensive strategies to build a more robust and shock-resistant economy (Adeyemi, 2023; Okoro, 2024; Balogun, 2025).
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study is limited to analyzing domestic data on GDP, FDI, and inflation as they relate to economic resilience in Nigeria. It does not incorporate external global economic trends.
