Nigeria: Economic Dashboard
@ 310818
From the Editor’s Desk
The total number of individuals registered under the Pension Asset and Scheme Act stood at 8.13 million at the end of the second quarter of 2018, reflecting a 7.11% increase compared to the previous quarter. The rise in membership was largely due to an increase in state and private membership by 5% and 3%, respectively.
At the same time, the total asset within the purview of the pension asset management stood at N8.23 trillion at the end of second quarter of 2018, reflecting a 3.6% increase compared to the previous quarter. The increase was largely driven by an increase in government securities as it rose from N5.589 trillion at the end of first quarter 2018 to N5.823 trillion, thus reflecting a 4.2% increase in government securities.
This dynamic further widened the weight of federal government security as a whole from 70.37% to 70.5%. Therefore both policy response and the underlining fundamentals further embolden concentration in the asset class under review. It also highlights the captive nature of the money market. In the same vein, corporate bonds also increased from N390.44 billion to N408.96 billion, thus reflecting an increase by 4.67%.
The breather from short circuiting the domestic money market space by the fiscal side and hunt for higher rates sweetened the appetite for corporate bonds. Thus lifting the weight held by corporate bonds slightly from 4.92% to 4.96%. Local money market securities also rose from N651 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2018 to N736 billion, the 1.13% increase was as a result of replenishing short term security. Thus the weight of local money market securities buffered from 8.2% to 8.95%.
Domestic equity class, fell from N734 billion in the first quarter of 2018 to N709.15 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2018. The 3.3% shave in the domestic equity class pinpointing to the current bloodletting in the equity market. This eventually puts the equity asset class on a back foot the weight held is diluted from 9.25% to 8.62% However, the foreign ordinary shares asset class rose from N60.805 at the end of the first quarter of 2018 to N61.37 billion at the end of the second quarter.
