Desirous of a continued and effective collaboration with its Members, FMDQ played host to major players in the FMDQ markets represented by the respective membership categories of the OTC Exchange (Dealing, Associate & Registration Members) to its first “Members Only” Meeting for 2017.
The Meeting, which held on July 14, 2017, at The Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos, brought together representatives from institutions represented in the FMDQ markets under the various FMDQ membership categories, and provided a platform for deliberating on key issues pertinent to the development of the markets.
The session commenced with a presentation on FMDQ’s market development and regulation initiatives, followed by updates on the technology initiatives and the FMDQ-led Debt Capital Markets Development Project.
From collective interactions, reviews and comments, issues relevant to the development of the FMDQ markets as related to the provision of services by the OTC Exchange, and participation of the Members in the markets were discussed.
In line with the commitment to drive market and product development, and in its capacity as a market organiser, FMDQ, through the collaborative efforts of its Members and other key stakeholders, will continue to shape the markets in alignment with international standards.
