Following the recent rate hike by the Central Bank of Nigeria, 10 Nigerian Bank stocks depreciated in value at the close of trading as investors’ craving for fixed income securities widen.

With the hike in MPR by 150 basis points to 13%, analysts believe that the prognosis for the Nigerian stock market will be lukewarm with sideways movement in equities, on a bearish bias outlook.

Investigations by Nairametrics showed that the 10 banks lost about N96.325 billion in a day.

Dr Muda Yusuf, Founder/CEO, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise [CPPE] had said that what the recent rate hike by the Central Bank of Nigeria means for the economy is that the cost of credit to the few beneficiaries of the bank credits will increase which will impact their operating costs, prices of their products and profit margins.

Yusuf while reacting to the May 2022 MPC Communique also noted that investors in the fixed income instruments may also benefit from the hike while there would be some adverse effects on the equities market.
