Capital Importation by Destination State

Balance of Payments · Source: CBN via NBS · quarterly

International comparability — CSA: Economic · BPM6 (IMF)

Quarterly fresh foreign capital imported into Nigeria (bank-reported, excluding reinvested earnings), broken down by destination state. Compiled by the Central Bank of Nigeria (Trade and Exchange Dept) and published by NBS. Values in US$ million. CLOSED series: the source discontinued this breakdown after 2025 Q1 (last observed quarter); the post-Q1-2025 absence is a source decision, not missing data. The grand TOTAL row and annual Total-year columns are printed aggregates tagged is_aggregate.

Capital Importation by Destination State: 5,632.073, Q1 2025, up 542.92 USD Million on Q4 2024.

Why this chart?

A choropleth encodes one variable over geography; this series also splits by state, so the map carries a selector for it rather than collapsing the second dimension. The state breakdown is sparse or barely varies, so only the national overall (population-weighted, never summed from the states) is shown — a map would mislead more than it informs.

Chosen: Choropleth map with a selector · auto-selected from the data profile.

Figures are in nominal naira — the amounts as reported for each period, not adjusted for inflation. Over a multi-year span, part of any increase reflects rising prices rather than real growth.

Both downloads carry every observation — state, period, value, unit and source — and reconstruct the whole series.
