The stock market in 2022 was faced with mixed outcomes following the action of the Central Bank on its monetary policies. “So, while local investors’ dominance has helped to reduce the usual volatility associated with the market, the near absence or low level of foreign portfolio investors’ participation in the market has denied the Nigerian foreign exchange market the optimum level of liquidity required to support the drive for economic growth. Therefore, local and foreign participations in the good mix are essential for the development of the market, ”he added.
On his part, the Chief Operating Officer, Supra Commercial Trust Limited, Mr. Charles Fakrogha explained that, “Recently, domestic institutional investors have dominated the stock market. I will not blame foreign investors for exiting the market as they are here for a short time. Once there is any negative report in the domestic stock market, the next thing is for foreign investors to move their portfolio to another market.
