Foreign investors’
participation in equity trading or foreign portfolio investment in the stocks
of companies listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange is one of the
key trading activities the Exchange gathers from major custodians and market
operators monthly.
The participation of foreign
investors in the Nigerian equities market seems to have gained momentum following
the introduction of Investors’ and Exporters’ FX window by the CBN in April
2017. The FX window has really helped to ease FX scarcity and challenge in the
market.
Foreign investors’
participation attains a peak growth of 284.76% in equity trading in March 2017,
while the figure went down by -20.62% in the month of April 2017. However, the
downward trajectory took a rebound in May 2017 with +134.57% growth and has maintained
positive outlook ever since till October 2017 which happens to be the latest figure.
