The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) is set to transition to a T+1 settlement cycle on June 1, 2026, aimed at improving market liquidity and aligning with global standards. Despite a shortened trading week due to the Eid al-Adha holiday, the NGX All-Share Index recorded a modest 0.27% gain to reach 250,385.47 points. Economic indicators show positive momentum, with Nigeria’s Q1 2026 real GDP growing by 3.89%, largely driven by the non-oil and services sectors. Meanwhile, the Naira saw marginal appreciation in the official market, and system liquidity improved significantly. Separately, the Nigerian government is seeking $7 billion in African Development Bank (AfDB) support for an integrated aviation transformation program. Market analysts maintain a cautious outlook for the coming week as investors adapt to the new settlement regime and monitor global geopolitical and commodity trends.
