This high-level meeting provided a platform for FMDQ and IFC to brainstorm on strategic initiatives to be delivered through the collective efforts of both organisations, crucial to deepen and endear improved global participation in the Nigerian markets.
These initiatives are expected to positively impact the Nigerian capital market, aligning it with international standards and making it “GOLD” –Globally competitive, Operationally excellent, Liquid and Diverse – in line with FMDQ’s operational mandate for the transformation of the markets within its purview.
By consolidating on its strategic alliances, FMDQ remains committed to the growth of the Nigerian capital markets, with a particular focus on the debt capital market, and shall continue to strive to ensure that the market’s potential is realised, for the ultimate benefit of the Nigerian economy and its citizenry.
