Foreign and domestic investors' transactions on Nigeria's stock market reached N15.06 trillion in the first nine months of 2026, with domestic investors accounting for 89.74% of the total, according to the Nigerian Exchange Limited's (NGX) report. This surge in activity has been largely driven by local capital, particularly institutional investors, who increased their share from 78.44% to 89.74% from January to September 2026.
The growth in institutional investors' transactions is attributed to the National Pension Commission's (PenCom) decision to raise equity investment limits for pension funds in February 2026. However, foreign investors' share of transactions declined from 21.56% in the corresponding period of 2025 to 10.26% in 2026, and their transactions decreased from N1.84 trillion to N1.55 trillion during the same period.
