\n In February 2025, The Nigerian Exchange Limited saw a significant drop in trading activities with total transactions falling by 16.07 percent to N509.47 billion from N607.05 billion observed in January.\n <\/p>\n
\n The decrease was primarily caused by a substantial exodus of foreign investors, with their activities dropping by 40.36% from N71.51 billion to N42.65 billion during that period.\n <\/p>\n
\n The NGX’s Domestic and Foreign Portfolio Investment Report, published on Monday, indicated that foreign investments decreased by 29.67% to \u20a618.05 billion in January from \u20a625.66 billion previously. Additionally, foreign outflows saw a reduction of 46.33%, dropping to \u20a624.60 billion from \u20a645.85 billion.\n <\/p>\n
\n The decrease in international involvement lowered their total trading share to merely 8.37 percent, down from 11.78 percent in January, underscoring the ongoing prominence of local investors in the stock market.\n <\/p>\n
\n On the contrary, local investors maintained dominance over the market, representing 91.63 percent of all trades conducted. Nonetheless, their transaction value dropped by 12.83 percent, decreasing from N535.54 billion in January down to N466.82 billion in February.\n <\/p>\n
\n An analysis of local trades showed that individual investors invested N214.51 billion, marking a 19.76 percent decline from the N267.35 billion recorded in January. Meanwhile, institutional investors put in N252.31 billion, which represents a 5.92 percent reduction compared to the N268.19 billion they had committed in the prior month.\n <\/p>\n
\n The decrease in international deals highlights increasing worries about investors’ trust in Nigeria\u2019s stock exchange.\n <\/p>\n
\n Year-to-date, the total transaction volume for January and February 2025 was recorded at \u20a61.12 trillion. Domestic investors were responsible for \u20a61 trillion, which constitutes approximately 89.78%, whereas foreign investors accounted for \u20a6114.16 billion, constituting around 10.22%.\n <\/p>\n
\n In comparison to the corresponding timeframe in 2024 when the total transactions amounted to N1.01 trillion, there has been a rise of 10.62 percent in market activity this year. Nevertheless, the proportion of involvement from international investors has decreased from 11.78 percent in 2024 down to 10.22 percent in 2025.\n <\/p>\n
\n In the last 18 years, statistics indicate a consistent rise in local involvement in Nigeria\u2019s stock exchange, with domestic activity climbing by 33.15%, from \u20a63.56 trillion in 2007 to \u20a64.73 trillion in 2024. During this timeframe, international dealings also expanded by 38.31% from \u20a6616 billion to \u20a6852 billion. Nonetheless, despite these increases, overseas engagement stayed comparatively modest at around 15% of all trades in 2024, whereas indigenous traders made up approximately 85%.\n <\/p>\n
\n PUNCH disclosed that foreign investors pulled out \u20a6455.62 billion from the Nigerian stock market in 2024, far exceeding overall investments and highlighting worries regarding investor trust, even as the Central Bank of Nigeria attempted to stabilize the naira.\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
