Nigeria’s Investment Inflow Slowdown By Insecurity, FX Inavailability
Poor forex availability, insecurity and other structural challenges have been identified as major issues hampering the increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Nigeria.
This was observed by the World Bank in its latest report titled ‘Nigeria Development Update (December 2022): Nigeria’s Choice’, Naija News reports.
According to the international financial institution, these challenges have also affected the net withdrawal of equity by foreign investors.
The global bank noted further that FDI and Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) had only contributed only one per cent to the country’s GDP and do not compare favourably with similar economies of the world.
It said, “Net foreign direct investment and foreign portfolio investment flows into the Nigerian economy remain low, totalling only about 1 per cent of GDP.
“Net FDI inflows are negative, reflecting net withdrawals of equity by foreign investors. FDI and FPI flow into Nigeria do not compare favourably with similar economies of the world, reflecting difficulties with FX availability, security concerns, and other structural challenges in recent years.
“Low growth and slow structural transformation have contributed to this outcome — the pace of structural transformation of the domestic economy of the 2000s has not been sustained over a sufficiently long period.”
