Ranking Report 2020 - Trading in a Period of a Virus; Building Good Habits - Sep 02, 2020
The debt market has become the single most important market in the domestic financial system, but equities remain relevant even if for the purpose of diversifying investor portfolios and providing an inbuilt pro-cyclical growth opportunity. The unlisted securities market has remained relatively small but has the potential for growth if retail action by way of digital trading and remote market price discovery intelligence strengthen. The unlisted securities market (NASD) as of 2019 had a market turnover of less than 0.8% of total market value. Digital trading activity could scale up traded volumes in 2020 and improve market liquidity.
Market trading activities in 2020 may have been affected by two contending factors moving in opposite directions.

Nigeria's equities market has had a difficult half year in 2020 though the debt market has tayed buoyant as the federal government continues to finance a ballooning debt position (N28trn by June 2020) through the commercial fixed income market to cover short-term fiscal obligations. The slow market dynamics for equities have led more CMOs to seek ways of muscling down operating costs and client management expenses by adopting technology and digital trading platforms.
