<strong>Challenges</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Era</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Globalization</strong><br />

Edited by Emmanuel Obuah<br />

Table 1 below presents pairwise correlation matrix to describe <strong>the</strong> relationship exist<strong>in</strong>g between NSE and<br />

stock markets <strong>of</strong> 5 (five) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 7 most <strong>in</strong>dustrialized and developed nations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world (<strong>the</strong> G7) for <strong>the</strong><br />

period December 2005 to 15th March 2010. The result shows that <strong>the</strong> NSE is positively and highly<br />

correlated with <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dices <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se countries although <strong>the</strong> degree <strong>of</strong> correlation is highest with <strong>the</strong><br />

German stock market (0.734), followed by <strong>the</strong> Dow Jones (0.729) and <strong>the</strong> Canadian stock market (0.728).<br />

The NSE is however less correlated with those <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United K<strong>in</strong>gdom and <strong>the</strong> French bourses. The<br />

results thus imply that <strong>the</strong> bourses move <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> same direction and <strong>the</strong>re is a very high tendency for <strong>the</strong><br />

transmission <strong>of</strong> f<strong>in</strong>ancial stress and shock from <strong>the</strong> advanced economies to <strong>the</strong> Nigerian capital market.<br />

The correlation coefficients show<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> relationship among <strong>the</strong> bourses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> five advanced economies<br />

are however very high, <strong>in</strong>dicative <strong>of</strong> high degrees <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>terdependence, co-movement and <strong>in</strong>tegration<br />

among <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
