Nigerian crypto foreign investment is at a record low: Study By Cointelegraph

[ad_1]



The largest economy in Africa has a foreign investment problem despite exponential growth in crypto adoption.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported on Tuesday that foreign direct investment (FDI) in Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa, dropped by 33% last year due to a severe shortage of dollars. The shortage has also discouraged crypto companies from expanding into the country. In 2022, investment declined to $468 million from the previous year’s $698 million. According to the data, FDI has decreased by approximately 90% since its peak of $4.7 billion in 2008.
