FMDQ Exchange admits Coronation Merchant Bank’s new Commercial Paper Series on its Platform

FMDQ Exchange admits Neveah Limited N10bn Commercial Paper Programme on its platform

FMDQ Securities Exchange Limited (FMDQ Exchange) has admitted on its platform Coronation Merchant Bank’s N1.29 billion Series 11 and N2.34 billion Series 12 Commercial Papers (CPs) under its N100 billion CP Issuance Programme. This follows the admission of six (6) Commercial Papers (CPs) valued at N22.29 billion thus far in 2021.

Corporate institutions have continued to explore alternative financing options by tapping the debt capital market (DCM) to sustain their business activities and plug capital shortfalls.

The continuous admission of securities to FMDQ Exchange’s platform is reflective of the potential of the Nigerian DCM and the commendable level of confidence demonstrated by both issuers and investors in the market.

It also validates the efficient processes and integrated systems operated by FMDQ Holdings Plc (FMDQ Group or FMDQ), through its wholly owned subsidiaries – FMDQ Exchange, FMDQ Clear Limited, FMDQ Depository Limited and FMDQ Private Markets Limited – and how these have sustained its uninterrupted service delivery to the market and its diverse stakeholders during this difficult time and as we forge ahead in 2021 and beyond.
