What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Following economic reforms, J.P. Morgan included selected Federal Government of Nigeria Bonds in its Government Bond Index–Emerging Markets Edge, with Nigeria holding a 7.40% weighting. This inclusion reflects improvements in GDP growth, inflation, and the stabilization of the naira. Separately, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a naira payment plan allowing local refiners to purchase crude oil in naira, easing pressure on hard-currency reserves.

The inclusion of Nigerian bonds in a major global benchmark signals strengthened investor confidence in Nigeria’s domestic debt market. The reforms, such as unifying the foreign-exchange market and removing the petrol subsidy, have helped narrow budget deficits and freed up funds for government spending. The naira payment plan also helps reduce the demand for dollar settlements for crude oil.
