JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s decision to exclude Nigeria from its local-currency emerging-market bond indexes tops a year of pain for a nation reeling from a collapse in oil prices, slowing growth and a lack of economic leadership.

Nigeria has gone almost full circle from a favored investor destination in Africa three years ago -- because of its status as the continent’s largest crude producer and most populous nation -- to being rebuffed. While most of the weakening sentiment is due to the more than halving in oil prices since last year, a series of missteps by the central bank and President Muhammadu Buhari’s delay in appointing an economic team are adding to the slide.

The JPMorgan news is “a clear signal of dampened investor sentiment,” Manji Cheto, vice president of Teneo Intelligence in London, said by phone on Wednesday. “For things to turn around so quickly in three years’ time shows how important it is for governments to recognize that market sentiment is so fickle, and I don’t think the Nigerian government ever really understood this.”

“There will be a significant capital outflow,” Seun Olanipekun, an analyst at Investment One Financial Services Ltd., said by phone from Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital.

“The major consequence will be the loss of confidence by offshore investors in our markets. The [b]fact that the Central Bank of Nigeria had time to take action and they failed to do so [/b]will negatively impact how the monetary authorities are viewed by the international community.”

Blame Buhari

Buhari, who took power on May 29, has further eroded confidence in Nigeria’s economic management by delaying the announcement of his new cabinet.

That’s making Emefiele’s job tougher because he is forced to make monetary policy decisions in the absence of a clear fiscal policy, said Teneo’s Cheto.


Nigeria’s growth rate averaged 8 percent between 2000 and last year, when it displaced South Africa as Africa’s largest economy following an overhaul of the data that boosted the size of Nigeria’s gross domestic product.

The West African nation’s fortunes have waned along with a slide in the price of crude, which accounts for about 90 percent of exports and two-thirds of government revenue. The economy grew at the slowest pace in at least five years in the second quarter, expanding 2.4 percent from a year ago, compared with 4 percent in the first quarter.

When caution is thrown to the wind, we reap.
How do you 'change' good luck.

Anders Faergemann, senior sovereign portfolio manager at PineBridge Investments, said he was surprised that Buhari had not started tackling the country's economic problems more than three months into his tenure.

"As an investor it is flabbergasting that the Nigerian authorities have allowed themselves to be put in this situation," he said.

Ouch

They can cool off and keep their investments for now, we need to get our house in order first.

Our status as the largest country in Africa and the most powerful economy won't change so they'll be back in a jiffy and that's even if they are actually leaving.

No more business as usual.

Bloomberg has suddenly become a wailing wailer.
They lambasted buhari like a true Nigerian.

Passingshot & co were celebrating this misfortune, because to them the warning was issued first in January which was under Jonathan While forgetting that uncertainties surrounding election ignited the initial misgiving back then; while ineptitude, ignorance, and lack of economic leadership nailed the coffin for Nigeria now

You want someone to spend billions on your cocoa produce, when you have someone like buhari as president?
You can't gurantee investors of their short term benefit, and you want them to commit long term.
Please, if you see investors that are solely long term investors in the mould of father christmas , kindly let buhari know.

Any sane man should relocate his business to another country. I fear something worse coming.

Nigeria is failing at the moment.

according to the report Nigeria received two warnings, yet, the sai chanters were counting on body luggage.

"While many foreign bonds investors have exited the market since JP Morgan warned Nigeria in [b]January and again in June [/b]that it would get kicked out of the index unless conditions improved, stocks investors were now also pondering whether to stay"

if this is the PMB economic plan!
there is a very,very,very big problem concerning Nigeria's financial outlook!
it speaks that PMB administration does not have or understands governance at all.

The ones leaving need to go to be honest.
Their presence never profited any Nigerian in the first place.
Before you quote me, please first find out where the profits they make doing business in Nigeria, go to.
