This incisive report highlights how activities in the financial markets in Nigeria are likely to be more challenging, relative to 2014 as it is expected that the market in 2015 will be shaped by 4 major factors 1) Post-election scenarios 2)Aggressive tightening by the CBN, 3) Variability in foreign portfolio flows, and 4) the downward trajectory of crude oil prices. These factors are largely expected to dictate movements in both equity and fixed income markets albeit in different degrees during the year.
