The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) is on track to deliver a historic performance in 2025, fueled by soaring investor confidence, increased trading volumes, and a resurgence of foreign capital inflows.
Analysts say the market is witnessing one of its most dynamic years yet, with key indicators pointing to heightened investor participation across multiple sectors. Improved macroeconomic stability, policy reforms, and a wave of corporate earnings have strengthened investor sentiment, positioning the NGX for record-breaking turnover and listings.
As of mid-July, the Exchange has already recorded a series of weekly turnover milestones, including a historic N500.76 billion traded in just one week. Market watchers attribute the surge to a mix of domestic retail enthusiasm, foreign institutional interest, and strategic policy support from regulators aimed at deepening market operations.
The renewed momentum follows sustained efforts by the federal government and capital market stakeholders to attract long-term investments and reduce barriers to participation. This includes the introduction of technology-driven platforms, tax incentives, and improved corporate governance standards, all of which have enhanced market appeal.
Industry experts believe that if the current trajectory continues, 2025 could mark a watershed year for the NGX, solidifying its status as one of Africa’s most attractive and resilient stock markets.
