The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) are organizsing a Nigerian Bond Market Conference on Wednesday 7th August 2013 in Lagos. The event is coming at a time of increasing realisation by the international investor community of the immense potential that the Nigerian bond market offers following a series of reforms and initiatives aimed at enhancing the regulatory framework and increasing market depth and liquidity. “This conference provides our market a unique opportunity to leverage the IFC’s wealth of experience in both developed and developing markets to boost capacity while highlighting some of our key achievements and challenges within the last few years.”
The SEC and the IFC have enjoyed a close relationship and strong partnership over the years and we are pleased to note that the IFC has been very supportive of our work from the outset of our reform initiatives. We benefited from the expertise of a Resident Bond Advisor sponsored through the Efficient Securities Markets Institutional Development (which the IFC hosts) from 2010 to 2011. The IFC has also shown leadership by being the first multi-lateral institution to access the Nigerian domestic bond market by issuing a $50 million naira-denominated bond to help deepen the domestic bond market in February 2013.
The highpoint of the event will be an on-the-record interview session featuring the Director General of the SEC, Ms. Arunma Oteh, and Mr. Jingdong Hua, Vice President and Treasurer, IFC with Mr. Andrew Cross, the IFC Treasury’s Head for Africa, Latin America and Caribbean as moderator.
