President Clinton told incoming president Bush to be careful of what he was saying about the economy. In essence he was saying that bush would get what he was saying; which he did.
I do not see a crash coming and we should not be calling for one. With the new President making the economy his priority and making moves to solve the Delta crisis, it can only give confidence to foreign investors to invest in Nigeria. A slow down in the Nigerian economy is not yet around the corner. All we need is the govt. providing electricity and addressing transportation problems which would go a long way to improve the macro economy, hence the capital market.
Yes, I am an optimist and Iam optimistic about the Nigerian econmy and the capital market under a stable govemrnment. We have excellent examples from southeast Asia and India.
