The current business climate, marred by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic has seen most corporates and business entities look to the debt capital markets as a viable avenue to efficiently raise capital in order to meet their financing needs towards business expansion and/or working capital management, amongst others.

As the leading organiser for the Nigerian debt capital market (DCM), FMDQ Securities Exchange Limited (FMDQ Exchange or the Exchange), towards empowering the Nigerian financial market, provides a choice platform for the registrations, listings, quotations, and trading of debt securities. In this regard, the Exchange is pleased to announce the approval of the listing of the FBNQuest Merchant Bank Funding SPV PLC Series 1 ₦5.00 billion Fixed Rate Senior Unsecured Bond, and the quotations of the Coronation Merchant Bank Limited ₦6.00 billion Series 9 and ₦9.00 billion Series 10 Commercial Paper (CP) notes under its ₦100.00 billion CP Issuance Programme as well as the Mixta Real Estate PLC ₦3.30 billion Series 20 – 23 CP notes under its ₦20.00 billion CP Issuance Programme on its platform.

Issues from this CP Programme will also be quoted on FMDQ Exchange.
