According to him, seamless access to various products in the capital market is crucial, especially for retail investors.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Furthermore, Chiemeka offered advice to investors, urging them to consider companies that are ESG-compliant and provide transparent and high-quality disclosures. He stressed the significant correlation between ESG disclosures and corporate performance. \u201cCompanies on the Exchange that demonstrate strong ESG compliance often gain access to more capital, attract a broader investor base, and can even raise capital from foreign markets. The NGX Premium Board features companies that adhere to international best practices on corporate governance and meet NGX\u2019s highest standards of capitalization and liquidity. Compliance is not only a matter of prestige but also an indicator of sustainable growth, making these companies more appealing to both international and domestic investors\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Chiemeka also commended the SEC for its efforts in establishing a sustainable finance framework, especially in regards to green bonds. \u201cNigeria&#8217;s issuance of a green bond solidified its position as the first sovereign country in Africa to do so, and we applaud the SEC&#8217;s role in making this possible\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Divisional Head, Capital Markets at Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), Jude Chiemeka, has highlighted the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance and the democratization of data in attracting investments and enhancing stock liquidity in the Nigerian capital market.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":73596,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,17],"tags":[8539],"coauthors":[2391],"class_list":["post-74352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-business","category-news","tag-ngx"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
