Tomi Einesalo, Portfolio Manager in our Emerging Markets Fixed Income team, recently visited Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, to gain a better understanding of the changes taking place in the country. The country has historically suffered from economic instability due to its heavy reliance on oil and gas exports. Since the current government took office in early 2024, there seems to be growing confidence that it could deliver a more sustainable change in economic policy. Some of these changes, which were previously considered unattainable, have already been enacted.   A major milestone was the reform of subsidies, which has helped to significantly reduce the fiscal deficit. Challenges relating to food security, poverty and access to basic services persist, and significant efforts are still needed to address them. The unification of foreign exchange market structures has significantly improved transparency and credibility, although regulatory inefficiencies remain. The ongoing liberalization has led to a strong depreciation of the Nigerian currency, which has played an important role in supporting the current account.   Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/dge2a5Te   #lgtcapitalpartners #lgtcp #emergingmarketsfixedincome #frontiermarketdebt #nigeria
