APRIL 2009 ISSUE 16
With the global economy showing signs of a recovery later in the year, now is the time for investors to make their move before it is too late. In this month's edition of TradeInvestNigeria, we examine how investors can manage the risks often associated with emerging markets. We also take a closer look at a major investment in Nigeria's health insurance industry by South African firm Liberty Health. As usual there is also a great mix of investment opportunities, news stories and trade leads.
