Nigeria targets MSCI emerging-market status, finance minister says
Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele said Nigeria is engaging MSCI with the aim of joining its Emerging Markets classification, beyond a return to Frontier status.
The statement came as regulators launched a capital-market roadmap targeting ₦750 trillion by 2036. MSCI reclassification remains an objective and depends on meeting the index provider’s access and market criteria.
