Background of the Study
Financial integration refers to the process of linking the financial markets of different countries, allowing for cross-border investment and the free flow of capital. In the context of Nigerian-listed companies, financial integration involves the extent to which these companies can access international financial markets, raise capital from foreign investors, and engage in global trade (Aluko & Adebayo, 2024).
Airtel Africa, one of the leading telecommunications companies in Nigeria, has been significantly affected by the dynamics of financial integration, particularly with its listing on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and its activities in multiple African countries. The company's financial performance is influenced by the accessibility of international capital, exchange rate fluctuations, and global investment trends. The relationship between financial integration and corporate performance in Nigeria's emerging market is critical in understanding how these factors shape the financial practices of listed companies like Airtel Africa (Fola & Olamide, 2023).
This study examines the impact of financial integration on the financial performance and corporate strategies of Nigerian-listed companies, with a focus on Airtel Africa. The goal is to understand how financial integration affects these companies' access to capital, profitability, and overall financial stability in an increasingly globalized financial environment.
Statement of the Problem
Financial integration has introduced new opportunities and challenges for Nigerian-listed companies. However, its impact on the financial performance of these companies, particularly in the telecommunications sector, remains under-researched. Airtel Africa, as a major player in the industry, offers a useful case study for understanding how financial integration influences corporate performance. This study aims to evaluate the effects of financial integration on Airtel Africa’s corporate finance and strategic decisions, including access to international funding and capital markets.
