He highlighted the importance of leveraging market data in this regard stating that, \u201cThrough cutting-edge technology, NGX continues to promote a high level of market transparency by enabling easy access to quality Real Time Market Data to all market participants including regulators. Market Data such as transaction prices, bids\/offers and other trading information becomes the bedrock for price discovery and investment strategies. Derivatives traded on exchanges disseminate price information that aids both private and public entities because exchanges make contract volume and price publicly available. Such transparency helps markets function more efficiently.”<\/span><\/p>\n
