If the inner mapping group of a loop is a finite Abelian group, then the loop is centrally nilpotent. We first investigate the structure of those finite Abelian groups which are not isomorphic to inner mapping groups of loops and after this we show that if the inner mapping group of a loop is isomorphic to the direct product of two cyclic groups of the same odd prime power order pn, then our loop is centrally nilpotent of class at most n + 1.
