The Capital Market Committee (CMC) has inaugurated a Market Wide FinTech Committee to come up with a FinTech Roadmap for the Nigerian Capital Market.<\/p>\n

Inaugurating the Committee which has Mr. Ade Bajomo, Executive Director is Access Bank as Chairman, during the 3rd Quarter CMC meeting in Lagos Wednesday, Acting Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ms. Mary Uduk expressed the need for the Nigerian capital market to transit towards a technology-driven one as is obtainable in other economies.<\/p>\n

Uduk who pointed out that the commission was interested in investments that Nigerians were making, especially with the advent of digitalization, enjoined the committee to come up with guidelines on the direction the market needs to go on FinTech.<\/p>\n

Uduk said \u201cWe don\u2019t want a situation where we would be doing things differently, we want a cohesive FinTech Roadmap that would guide and help the market to be able to operate in an optimal way\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we will regulate and operate in this market and understand what is happening we need to understand the rudiments of FinTech. Very soon the whole world will move to technology for regulation. Other jurisdictions have already gone far into it with some of them already amending their rules in that direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) is on it and there is a lot on it already all over the world and we can\u2019t be left behind. We are very much interested in some of the most active areas of Fintech innovation like blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and how they affect investors\u201d.<\/p>\n

Uduk noted further that as the regulator of the capital market, it was the responsibility of the SEC to find out how such investments were being deployed and if they meet set standards because when investors lose money they will come back to the SEC.<\/p>

According to the SEC boss, that is why the commission is seeking to understand what FinTech is all about to enable the Commission regulate the market properly.<\/p>\n

While alluding to the growing influence of Fintechs in the capital market, Uduk urged investors to take advantage of Fintech offerings in moving the Capital Market forward. She equally emphasized the focus of the Commission on capacity building, knowledge sharing, advocacy and collaboration with relevant organisations.<\/p>\n

The CMC was mainly established to serve as a medium for exchange of ideas among market stakeholders as well as for feedback to SEC on how to continuously improve the market activities and regulation.<\/p>\n

It is an industry-wide committee comprising members of the commission, representatives of capital market operators and trade groups and other stakeholders. The CMC meets every quarter to deliberate on various issues affecting the market and other policy matters.<\/p>\n
