Exactly. It’s a classic balancing act, liquidity is bullish for the market, but real-sector pressure from fuel costs can slow things down. Smart investors now focus on sectors like Telecoms and Fintech, where operations aren’t tied to fuel. Digital businesses become the safe haven while the economy adjusts.
The recent Naira appreciation is a positive signal for investor confidence and import-dependent businesses. However, for the gains to translate into lower consumer prices, we need sustained FX stability, improved supply chains, and reduced energy costs. Without that, cost pressures may offset currency improvements.
Absolutely. A stronger Naira is good news on paper, but for everyday Nigerians to feel it, the FX gains need to be backed by stable supply chains and affordable energy. Otherwise, the price of goods might not budge.
I’m thinking about companies like Flutterwave, Paystack, Opay, and Interswitch—those handling payments, remittances, and digital wallets. Their growth isn’t tied directly to fuel or inflation; they scale as more people transact digitally. Even with rising costs elsewhere, their revenue streams stay relatively stable.
Well said, Mara... without those things in place, cost pressures may still be visible.
