Country Report Niger 3rd Quarter
The Economist Intelligence Unit, August 2012
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 neighbouring Mali spilling over the porous border into Niger, triggering a renewed Tuareg rebellion and facilitating the spread of Islamist terrorist groups.
The onset of Niger's oil exports, as well as rising uranium production, will cause real GDP growth to jump to 9.4% in 2012, before settling back down to 5.9% in 2013.
