Petroleum retail spending is higher in Nigeria and Egypt than their 2019 peaks, a sign that some economies are reopening at a faster rate, according to MasterCard.

This was disclosed in the Post COVID-19 Recovery Insight by Mastercard, issued in a statement by Mr David Mann, MasterCard’s Chief Economist for the Middle East and Africa (MEA), on Sunday in Lagos.

The report revealed that although global travel has remained uneven, there has been a rebound in ground travel and pick-up in domestic flight bookings showing encouraging signs. It also includes the balance between leisure and business, local and long-distance travel, saving and spending. The report also looked at the spending categories seeing an uptick and the signal for travel recovery.
