SAT MAY 02 2026-theGBJournal| Based on the data from the Domestic and Foreign Portfolio Report of the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), total transactions in the Nigerian equities rose by 13.0% m/m to N1.74 trillion in March (February: N1.54 trillion).
The performance was primarily driven by the higher participation from both domestic (83.44% of gross transactions) and foreign (16.56% of gross transactions) investors.
Specifically, transactions from domestic investors rose by 3.6% m/m to N1.46 trillion (February: N1.40 billion), following increased transactions from institutional investors (+6.9% m/m), while transactions from retail investors (-1.3% m/m) moderated slightly.
At the same time, transactions from foreign investors jumped by 107.7% m/m to N288.80 billion (February: N139.03 billion), reflecting stronger market sentiment, particularly as moderating fixed-income returns have strengthened foreign demand for Nigerian equities.
