In their macroeconomic update, analysts at CardinalStone Research noted that such a move would improve foreign exchange liquidity.

 

“We see legroom for gradual improvement in FX liquidity, aided by the plans of the government to obtain credit in the Eurobond market.

 

“Given Nigeria’s supportive credit ratings and the expectations of likely rate cuts in the United States, US and other developed markets, we expect the planned issuance to be successful,” CardinalStone stated.
