1.What It Means For Nigeria To Be Kicked Out Of The JP Morgan EM Bond Index
JP Morgan Chase (JPM) on Tuesday issued a press release saying it will start phasing out Nigeria from its Emerging Market Bond Index this month and will completely yank Nigeria off the index by end of October. The bank cites the current restrictions on forex transactions and policies of the CBN as its reasons alleging that it has prompted investor concerns about a shortage of liquidity.

The potential implications of this move are far-reaching as JP Morgan Index is currently tracked by over $200 billion Funds. Here are a few immediate implications for Nigeria.
