WHAT HAPPENED

Nigeria's oil production reportedly declined by 5,000 barrels per day in August, while moderating oil prices are expected to narrow the country's trade surplus. The developments point to pressure on export revenues.

SO WHAT?

Lower oil income could weaken Nigeria's external finances and increase vulnerability to further energy-market shocks.
