Country Report Niger 4th Quarter

The Economist Intelligence Unit, November 2012, Pages: 21

The president, Mahamadou Issoufou, and his Parti nigérien pour la démocratie et le socialisme (PNDS), supported by four other political parties in the National Assembly, are expected to remain in power.

The main threat to political stability is the risk of the unrest in Mali spilling over the porous border into Niger, triggering a renewed Tuareg rebellion and facilitating the spread of Islamist terrorist groups and trafficking networks.

Despite delays in pubic investment, real GDP growth will remain elevated at an average of 6.1% in 2013-14 following rising output and continued strong investment inflows in the oil and mining sectors.
