Summary
The total value of
capital importation into Nigeria stood at $ 5,513.55 million in the second
quarter of 2018. This was a decrease of 12.53% compared to Q1 2018, but a
207.62% increase compared to the second quarter of 2017. The decline recorded
in the second quarter was as a result of a decline in Portfolio and Other
Investments, which declined by 9.76% and 24.07% respectively. The largest
amount of capital importation by type was received through Portfolio
investment, which accounted for 74.7% ($4,119.5m) of total capital importation,
followed by Other Investment, which accounted for 20.5% ($1,132.8m) of total
capital, and then Foreign Direct Investment FDI, which accounted for 4.7%
($261.4m) of total capital imported in the second quarter.

Capital Importation can
be divided into three main investment types: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI),
Portfolio Investment and Other Investments, each comprising various
sub-categories. Since 2017 Q2, Portfolio Investment has been expanding faster
than the other two categories. Although the absolute value of Portfolio
Investment declined in Q2 on a quarterly basis, falling from $4,565.09 million
in Q1, 2018 to $4,119.46 million in Q2, 2018, it remained the largest component
of the total Capital Importation in the quarter under review, followed by Other
Investments, and then FDI. The chart below shows the composition of Capital
Importation in Q2, 2017 and Q2, 2018.
Figure
2: Capital Importation Composition Q2, 2017 & Q2, 2018
In the second quarter of 2018, total Foreign Direct Investment stood at
$261.35m, growing by 5.97% from the first quarter of the same year, but falling
by 4.75% when compared to the corresponding quarter of last year. FDI
represented only 5% of the total capital import. Equity Investment dominated
FDI in the second quarter, accounting for 97.85% of total FDI received in the
second quarter. Capital Importation in the form of Other Capital saw
significant expansion, from only $5,000 as recorded in Q1 to $5.63 million in
Q2, an increase of over 1000percent compared to the same period of last year.
Portfolio Investment
remained the most significant component of total capital inflow into Nigeria in
the second quarter of 2018, although it contracted by 9.76% over the previous
quarter. The total value of Portfolio Investment in Q2 recorded was $4,119.46
million, which was a 434.64% growth compared to Q2, 2017 ($770.51 million). The
9.76% Q-on-Q decrease was due to a fall in the largest sub-component-- Money
Market Instruments. Capital Importation in the form of Money Market Instrument
stood at $2,670.93 million in the second quarter, which was a 24.29% decrease
over the previous quarter. Investments in both Equity and Bonds (under
Portfolio Investments) reported steady quarter-on-quarter growth, with 49.43%
and 19.13% respectively. It is worth noting that investments in Bonds under
this Capital Importation type has been steadily increasing since Q2, 2017, and
in Q22018 , it accounted for 9.71% of total Portfolio Investment.

quarter. Other Claims fell sharply, from $223.49 million in Q1 to $11.08
million in Q2. Trade Credits and Currency Deposits posted no inflow in the

By sector, Capital could
be imported either in the form of Shares or directly imported into different
economic sectors of the economy. Capital importation as shares, which is
closely related to Equity investment (FDI and Portfolio Investment) dominated
the second quarter of 2018 reaching $4,091.55 million, or 74.21% of the total
capital Importation in the quarter. The contribution of Share investment
