What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria proposed an African Depositary Receipts (ADR) framework as part of the Nigerian Capital Market Master Plan 2.0. This proposal aims to attract foreign companies and cross-border investment into Nigeria’s capital market. Under the framework, non-Nigerian companies can raise capital from local investors through depositary receipts without undertaking a full secondary listing. The proposal includes features such as streamlined regulatory approvals, listing fee incentives, and tax neutrality.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The framework is part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s position as a regional capital-market hub. By providing a less complex route for foreign companies to raise capital, the proposal could increase cross-border investment. This move is intended to improve market access and strengthen the capital market in Nigeria.

Nigeria is currently dealing with foreign exchange issues and has been reclassified into the FTSE Frontier Index, alongside new foreign portfolio investment rules confirmed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
