Nigerian FPI grows to N1.81 trillion in July 2025, on strong domestic participation in stock trading

The Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) in Nigeria saw significant growth, reaching N1.81 trillion in July 2025, up from N1.06 trillion in June. Data from the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) showed a surge in domestic participation in stock trading, with FPI for January to July 2025 totaling N6 trillion, nearly double the amount from the same period in 2024.

Domestic transactions in July 2025 rose sharply to N1.38 trillion, with institutional investors accounting for the majority of trades. Foreign transactions also increased, with inflows surpassing outflows, resulting in a net withdrawal of funds.

The total FPI for the first seven months of 2025 stood at N1.81 trillion, showing strong growth compared to previous years. This growth is attributed to factors such as the performance of the Index, stable foreign exchange rates, and predictable inflation outlook, boosting investor confidence.
