  "summary": "Nigeria has rejoined J.P. Morgan's Government Bond Index–Emerging Markets Edge after an 11-year absence, according to a September 14, 2026 report from the bank's Global Index Research. The country's bonds now carry a 7.4% weighting in the benchmark, which tracks local-currency sovereign debt across emerging and frontier markets. The inclusion is significant for Nigeria as it returns to the J.P. Morgan index more than a decade after being removed, reflecting the growing importance of frontier local-currency debt markets and improvements in bond issuance and post-trade infrastructure.",
