Foreign Investment Outflows Cast Shadow on Nigerian Equities Market

  • Market shows strong early performance but faces challenges from rising foreign investment outflows
  • Analysts warn of potential downturn due to global tensions and economic policies

 

Lagos, Nigeria – Nigerian equities initially demonstrated strong performance in 2024, but recent outflows of foreign investments are raising concerns about sustained growth.

Despite a significant year-to-date return of 31% by mid-March, up from 7.15% in the same period last year, analysts caution that economic and global factors could continue to derail these gains.
