FMDQ OTC upturns identity to full-fledged Securities Exchange
FMDQ over-the-counter trading (OTC) platform has upturned its identity to become a full-fledge Securities exchange.
The Exchange said in a release that it is pleased to inform the public about the Company’s transition from an OTC Market to a full-fledged Securities Exchange.
The status is achieved having received the necessary approvals from the apex regulator of the Nigerian capital market, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It said that consequently, the erstwhile Exchange has now changed to a public limited liabilities company (Plc).
The Exchange, following due process, has activated and operationalised two wholly-owned subsidiaries.
These include FMDQ Clear Limited, and FMDQ Depository Limited, that are positioned to provide efficient post-trade services, amongst others, for the Nigerian financial market.
Thus, making FMDQ a one-stop financial market infrastructure group and an integrated platform to execute, clear and settle financial market transactions.

“Also, touch of cool grey, representing conservativeness, professionalism and sophistication, communicates FMDQ’s drive to “consistently move forward”, the note reads.
