After returning 37.7 per cent last year, Nigerian stocks started 2025 on a promising note.
In Africa, the Nigerian Exchange emerged the third top-performing equity index behind only the stock exchanges of Zambia and Ghana.
For the first week of the year, the main equity index advanced by 0.6 per cent across four trading days, marked by an unusually strong interest in insurance stocks, which accounted for eight of the top ten gainers.
