nftables read counters as non-root user

I have set up some firewall rules using nftables. They include some data counters for some types of traffic that I'm interested to monitor.

Now, I'd like to be able to have an application read those counters, ideally using libnftnl, running as a non-root user. But, initial testing with nft indicates that I can't read nftables counters as a non-root user.

As root:

$ nft list counter my_table my_counter
table ip my_table {
    counter my_counter {
        packets 123 bytes 12345
    }
}

As non-root:

$ nft list counter my_table my_counter
Error: No such file or directory
list counter my_table my_counter
             ^^^^^^^^

Is there some way to read nftables counters as a non-root user? Perhaps if some Linux capabilities is set?
