    What we are seeing is flight to safety by investors. Manufacturing capacity utilisation is declining, forex rate has balloned beyond budget, interest rates are hitting the roof. Manufacturers. That used to be net placers are now net borrowers. Of course, investors know the ultimate hit is the bottom line. So flight to safe havens in FGN bonds l, crypto, even forex etc is the order
