The report shows foreign inflows and outflows rose to ₦206.35 billion and ₦175.47 billion in first quarter 2018, indicating a positive net foreign investment position of ₦30.9 billion.

Total foreign inflow and outflow of ₦62.35 billion and ₦148.71 billion were recorded in the comparable period of 2017, which left the country with net FPI deficit of ₦86.36 billion.

Also, the monthly analysis showed a positive trend in net foreign investment inflow in the first quarter of the year.

Foreign inflow totaled ₦91.75 billion in January as against outflow of ₦74.64 billion.

Foreign inflow and outflow stood at ₦44.89 billion and ₦38.33 billion in February while foreign inflow and outflow recovered hit ₦69.71 billion and ₦62.50 billion in March.

On the aggregate, total foreign transactions stood at ₦166.39 billion in January, dipped to ₦83.22 billion in February and rose by 59 percent to ₦132.21 billion in March.

Total transactions at the equities market in the first quarter stood at ₦878.97 billion compared with ₦454.48 billion recorded in first quarter 2017.

Domestic investors had accounted for ₦497.15 billion in the first quarter as against ₦243.42 billion last year.

The report is regarded as a credible gauge of FPI as it coordinates data from nearly all active investment bankers and stockbrokers.

The report uses two key indicators-inflow and outflow to gauge foreign investors’mood and participation in the stock market as a barometer for the economy.

Foreign portfolio investment outflow includes sales transactions or liquidation of equity portfolio investments through the stock market while inflow includes purchase transactions on the NSE.
