In line with its ambition to support Nigeria’s economic growth by providing a liquid, efficient and multi-asset securities exchange hub, the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) said it has enhanced its fixed income securities market segment as well as the associated benefits to trade execution via its platform.
It would be recalled that as part of its liquidity-enhancing efforts, the Exchange introduced a trading fee moratorium in August 2016 to stimulate activities and liquidity in the fixed income market.
Following the end of the 4-year fixed income securities trading fee moratorium, the Exchange has now received the regulatory approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to revise its fee structure.
According to a statement from NSE, the revised fees will become effective on October 5, 2020. Under this revised fee structure, the Exchange will charge 0.0005 per cent (N5 per million) on debt instruments traded on its platform.

Meanwhile, investors trading via the NSE platform can also enjoy access to diverse listed debt instruments including federal government, State government, Corporates, Supranational and Retail Savings Bonds.
The Exchange continues to conduct various trainings, workshops and conferences on fixed income securities products to build domestic capacity and enhance financial literacy while encouraging inclusiveness.
