Global financial organisation, FTSE Russells has cited Nigeria’s foreign exchange challenges as its reason for downgrading the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX) from “Frontline” to “Unclassified Market.”

FTSE Russells said the downgrade of the NGX will take effect by September 18, 2023, a move which has triggered immediate selloffs that dropped the All-Share Index to 1.24% to close at 67,296.18 points.

The effect was also felt across the financial sector and most especially, in Nigeria’s Tier-1 banking sector, with Zenith Bank dropping by 5.82%, Guaranty Trust Holding Co. (GTCO) dropping by 8.62%, and Access Bank falling by 8.57%.

Once the downgrade takes effect, Nigeria’s index status will be given a zero value and removed entirely from all five FTSE stock indices.

FTSE Russells further explained that the reclassification was a follow-up to the June 30, 2023, FTSE Equity Country Classification – Watch List Status for Nigeria, which had studied feedback from market participants on repatriations.

The UK-based financial institution also noted that issues raised in the reports were the main reasons some institutional investors have faced difficulties repatriating their trapped capital.

The global rating agency went ahead to spot the lack of liquidity in Nigeria’s Investors & Exporters’ (I&E) FX Window while adding that the development was a setback to the ability of international institutional investors to replicate benchmark changes.

“FTSE Russell will continue monitoring Nigeria and once the foreign currency delays are cleared for a period of time, Nigeria will be assessed as a new market in accordance with the FTSE Equity Country Classification Process.

“This process will follow the standard FTSE Equity Country Classification procedure and timetable for a new market, with Nigeria required to spend a period of time on the Watch List before it is readmitted as an eligible market for the FTSE Russell equity indices.” the body noted.

The downgrade will possibly affect Nigeria’s image on the international investment landscape and will also create a more challenging position for the country in its recent quest to woo foreign investors.

The club added El Ghazi “also stated that he does not question Israel’s right to exist”. It was widely reported that El Ghazi would have his contract terminated, but Mainz have confirmed that the 28-year-old Dutchman will be staying. Head coach Bo Svensson: “With the transfer of Anwar we’ve been given the chance to strengthen our attack with a player who’s already had an impressive career. With his ability in one-vs-one situations, his pace and his keenness to get on the ball, he’ll make us better. We’re very pleased that Anwar’s joined us.” The Bundesliga side announced the decision in a brief statement on Friday, which read: “1. FSV Mainz 05 terminated their contract with Anwar El Ghazi with immediate effect on Friday. The club has taken this action in response to comments and posts from the player on social media.”

    Argentina sit atop the World Cup qualifying standings through six matches but suffered their first defeat in over a year when they fell to Uruguay in November of 2023, leaving them looking over their shoulder. The relentless USA attack broke through in the 10th minute when midfielder Lindsey Horan, captaining the team for the 19th time, won a free kick on the left wing and then quickly played Shaw in on goal, catching the Argentina defense unaware. The 19-year-old attacker raced toward the net and neatly tucked her shot beneath Argentina goalkeeper Laurina Oliveros and inside the near post for the 1-0 advantage.
