The Chairman of the NGX, Mr Abubakar Mahmoud, disclosed in a
statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in
Lagos.
Mahmoud said that the theme of the conference is : “The
Future Ready Capital Market: Innovating for Nigeria’s Sustainable Recovery.”
He said the conference would bring together all stakeholders
to share insights and broaden the thinking needed for greater capital flows
through innovative sources of financing.
The chairman said participants expected at the conference
are policymakers, government, financial experts, business leaders, investors,
international development partners, regulators and other market stakeholders,
He said the conference has become imperartive because
Nigerian capital market occupies a critical position in the economic growth and
development of Nigeria and Africa.
“Following the successful demutualisation of the Nigerian
Stock Exchange (NSE), which saw NSE transition to Nigerian Exchange Group Plc
with three wholly owned subsidiaries, NGX, NGX Regulation Ltd, and NGX Real
Estate Ltd.
“NGX is well-positioned, as a more agile and responsive
exchange, to chart the course for the next phase of growth.
“Through the Nigerian capital market conference, we are
adopting a collaborative approach to ensure that we can continue to create value
for domestic, regional and international market participants as their needs
become increasingly sophisticated,” he said.
Mahmoud, however, expressed appreciation for the acceptance
of Osinbajo to headline the conference as keynote speaker and the support that
the capital market received from the public and private sectors.
He also expressed high hope towards the insightful
deliberations that would usher the market and the nation into a new era.
Also speaking, the Chief Executive Officer, NGX, Mr Temi Popoola,
stressed the importance of the capital market for economic growth and
development.
“Given the macro-economic and fiscal challenges prevalent in
our economy today, we see the capital market as a lever to drive savings
mobilisation and the creation of wealth and liquidity.
“As the transformational exchange stimulating the
sustainable economic recovery of Nigeria, NGX is strategically positioned to
galvanise stakeholders to share actionable ideas and collaborate across sectors
and industries to create opportunities to boost growth and development for all.
“We expect that this inaugural edition of the Nigerian
capital market conference will be the first in a series of events that will
catalyse the capital market of the future,” Popoola said.
He said that the onsite event would hold at Transcorp
Hilton, Abuja, with an opportunity for online participants to join via Zoom and
YouTube that requires registration. (NAN)
