Dmo Lists Fgn Bonds, Tbs Worth ₦7.6trillion On Fmdq Otc Platform by atlwireles: 7:12pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
The Debt Management Office (DMO) on Monday listed outstanding ₦4.85 trillion Federal Government of Nigeria Bonds and quotation of ₦2.80 trillion Nigeria Treasury Bills (NTB) on the FMDQ OTC platform. Dr Abraham Nwankwo, DMO Director-General, at the listing in Lagos, said that it was another attestation of the commitment of the government to further develop and deepen the domestic debt market to enhance its performance of the pivotal role of financial intermediation. Nwankwo said that the listings would generate savings and investments necessary for economic growth and development. He noted that prior to the establishment of the E-Bond platform by the FMDQ OTC in 2014 the secondary market for FGN securities was done using the Reuters Trading Platform and the ICAP Electronic Trading Community System. Nwankwo explained that although FGN bonds and NTBs were already listed on the FMDQ E-Bond platform and FGN bonds listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, the listing of the outstanding securities would boost liquidity. He, however, said that listing of these FGN securities on FMDQ OTC was to identify with the laudable initiative of market operators and regulators in introducing the FMDQ E-Bond platform. According to Nwankwo, the listing will upgrade trading in fixed income securities. He also pledged the institution’s commitment to comply with the listing requirements, adding that DMO would continue to direct all efforts toward ensuring a vibrant domestic debt securities market in Nigeria. Nwankwo urged FMDQ to continue to provide a robust and credible OTC platform for the listed FGN securities to the public and improve market transparency and price discovery. He also called on the organisation to monitor the activities of dealers to ensure accountability and publish relevant market data and information as and when due to guide investors in their investment decisions. Also speaking, Mr Phillips Oduoza, FMDQ OTC, Chairman, Board Listings and Quotations Committee, said that the organisation was committed to enhanced transparency and price discovery in the development of the nation’s debt capital market. Oduoza said that a lot of benefits would accrue from the listing of these government securities. He added that the listing of these FGN securities on FMDQ OTC platform would lead to improved secondary market liquidity, enhanced corporate governance and efficient price discovery. “I believe that more bonds will also be listed on this OTC platform and we urge other issuers and corporate organisations to come and list bonds on FMDQ”, Oduoza said. Oduoza who is also the group Managing Director, UBA Plc commended the DMO for listing on FMDQ platform, noting that the debt management office had set a credible benchmark for the market.
