The Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that it has recorded significant traction and successes in achieving some key Master Plan objectives such as full Dematerialization of Share Certificates, recapitalization of Capital Market Operators, launch of National Investor Protection Fund, new Corporate Governance Scorecard for public companies, and Electronic Dividend Mandate Management System amongst others.<\/p>\n

This was stated by Director General of the Commission, Lamido Yuguda during the\u00a0Virtual Signing of a\u00a0$400,000 grant agreement with African Development Bank to strengthen securities market regulation and broaden market instruments.<\/p>\n

The project will support the implementation of SEC Nigeria\u2019s Capital Market Master Plan 2015-2025 and its vision to position Nigeria\u2019s capital market as a competitive and attractive destination for portfolio investments.<\/p>\n

The grant which will be sourced from the Capital Markets Development Trust Fund, a multi-donor fund administered by the Bank, will go towards strengthening the risk-based supervision framework, regulation of derivatives and green bonds, and build capacity for green finance.<\/p>\n

Recall that the SEC is currently implementing a comprehensive market and institutional reform program intended to reposition the Nigerian capital market to be globally competitive and an attractive destination for investment activities in Africa.\u00a0 The ten-year Capital Market Master Plan (2015-2025) sets the vision, objectives and initiatives required to achieve this goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The SEC Boss said the Commission is at a criticalhalf-way point<\/span>\u00a0in the implementation of the Capital market Master Plan where the deployment of market surveillance infrastructure has become exceedingly necessary.\u00a0<\/span>In addition, the SEC is focusing on capacity development as a catalyst to drive the actualization of other strategic initiatives in the Plan.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cthe SEC designed a targeted training program to address identified gaps in regulation and market development to enhance the Commission\u2019s readiness to effectively regulate new products and promote the growth of the capital market.\u00a0Some of the initiatives identified include procurement of a surveillance solution, capacity building in the areas of Risk based supervision, Green Finance and Derivatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRealizing t<\/span>hese<\/span>\u00a0focus areas align closely to AfDB\u2019s \u201cHigh 5s\u201d priority sectors for the economic transformation of Africa, we leveraged our strong partnership with AfDB to drive some these key initiatives to strengthen internal and issuer capacity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased and thankful to AfDB for providing grant support to execute these very important projects. We believe that your support and our collaboration underscore the Commission\u2019s and the Bank\u2019s mutual goal to grow the capital market and create viable avenues for sustainable economic growth for Nigeria and the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yuguda restated the commitment of the SEC to discharge the terms of this agreement and with your support look forward to the timely and successful execution of these critical projects and initiatives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Barrow said the ceremony represents a true milestone in our partnership with the government of Nigeria to support the development of Nigeria\u2019s capital market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is informed by our shared vision that when effectively function and equip the capital market are critical for promoting optimal capital allocation to finance products in other sectors of the economy, infrastructure development and other key economic activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grant for the capital market development trust fund is a multi-dollar trust fund administered by the AfDB and dedicated to the development of African capital markets through technical assistance to support current initiatives, to strengthen the financial markets supervisory and regulatory framework and to make the markets instruments that will support deepening of the markets in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The AfDB Director stated that the Bank\u2019s support is inspired by Nigeria\u2019s strive to enhance the role of capital market in mobilisation of resources for Nigeria\u2019s fast growing institutional investor base, the private sector and international capital to finance private and sovereign investment programmes, adding it is borne by lessons from experience that shows that countries with developed capital markets have posted stronger economic growth and structural transformation and that is why the AfDB Group is supporting the emergence of well-functioning and resilient financial and capital markets in African countries through various mechanisms.<\/p>\n

He commended the SEC on the implementation of the 10-year capital market master plan that is aimed at positioning the country as a competitive and advanced destination for investments, assuring that the AfDB is committed to working with the Commission on the project and other initiatives to enhance the base of Africa\u2019s capital markets.<\/p>\n
