“Foreign outflows also increased by 110.61per cent from N28.08 billion in October 2017 to N59.14 billion in November 2017,” the report stated.
Analysts attributed increased foreign investors participation to the positive trend on the improvement of macro economy in terms of the stability of the foreign exchange market and steady increase in global oil prices.
According to recent reports by analysts at FSDH, the recovery seems to be coming on the back of the recent increase in crude oil price, the increase in crude oil production in Nigeria and the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) continued supply of foreign exchange to both retail and corporate users.
