Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

The National Bureau of Statistic has released its 2014 report on Capital Importation in Nigeria. The report shows that a total of $4.49billion dollars of investment capital was imported into Nigeria for the fourth quarter ending December 2014. The report also shows that a sharp decline of $2,042.84 million or 31.22% was recorded from the value of $6,542.58 million that was recorded in the preceding quarter, which represented the peak value for the year. Despite this, the closing quarter of the year 2014 was still greater than the $3,904.55 million of capital imported in the opening quarter, by $595.18 million or 15.24%.

Total capital imported in the year of 2014 summed to $20,750.76 million, lower by $576.61 million or 2.66% from the $21,318.38 million that was imported in 2013. The annual decline was primarily due to the reduction in the value of capital imported in the fourth quarter of 2014, which was expected, as investor confidence is low during the build up to a Presidential election, which in Nigeria was scheduled to hold in February of 2015.
