Domestic Investors Shun Risks, Invest In Stocks Ahead Of Election Business

Nigerian Exchange Limited All-Share Index is up by 5.80 per cent as at February 20, 2023, maintaining a bullish run from September 2022.

Foreign participation in the local bourse has so far moderated in recent years due to issues around forex liquidity and monetary policy, placing their turnover at 16 per cent according to the December 2022 edition of the Domestic and Foreign Portfolio Investment Report of the Exchange. Historically, the market has typically experienced volatility during election season with some notable years, particularly, the 1999 election – which saw change from military rule – and 2015 election – which saw the first incumbent defeat at the polls – experiencing declines pre-election.

An analyst with Parthian Securities, Azeezat Awonuga, said, investors are poised to hunt for gains in the stock market as the fixed income yields have moderated in recent times.
