As
an OTC securities exchange focused on empowering the Nigerian debt capital
market, FMDQ provides an efficient platform for the quotation, valuation and
trading of Nigerian Treasury Bills (NTBs).
NTBs are short-term Federal Government of
Nigeria (FGN) debt instruments maturing in one year or less, sold at a discount
and redeemed at par. The FGN, under the authority of the Debt Management Office
(DMO), issues Treasury Bills through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to
provide short-term funding for the FGN budget deficit.
Through its mission to be credible and
innovative in support of the Nigerian economy, FMDQ provides market
transparency and global visibility to the quoted NTBs through the FMDQ
Bloomberg E-Bond Trading and Surveillance System, the Quotations page on its
website and the publication of the FMDQ Daily Quotations List (DQL), promoting
credibility for the NTBs and enhancing investor confidence in the instruments.
Secondary
market liquidity is enhanced for the NTBs by the FMDQ Dealing Members who trade
the instruments daily. Continuous disclosure of relevant information on the
NTBs, including, but not limited to, issue size, tenor, maturity date, discount
rate and yield, are also provided on the platform as part of the securities
exchange’s value-add.
