Our GOLD Agenda


The FMDQ “GOLD” Agenda remains the compass guiding the assessment of FMDQ’s markets, as well as underscoring the commitment of FMDQ towards the transformation of the Nigerian financial market, as a prosperity conduit for the Nigerian economy, in line with other international financial markets and global best practices.

FMDQ GOLD Awards


The FMDQ GOLD Awards, underscored by the tenets of FMDQ’s ‘GOLD’ (Global Competitiveness, Operational Excellence, Liquidity and Diversity) Agenda, is a corporate tradition that recognises the demonstrated resilience and agility of the Nigerian financial markets participants and acknowledges the valuable efforts of these stakeholders, whose participation in the FMDQ markets and across the financial market infrastructure value chain of FMDQ’s businesses – Securities Exchange, Central Counterparty and Depository – have positively shaped the course of the markets and invariably impacted the development of the Nigerian economy.


In keeping with the tradition of FMDQ Group to recognise excellence in its markets, the 2024 FMDQ GOLD Awards will hold on Friday, November 8, 2024 in Lagos, Nigeria. This year, as was done in the last six (6) years, the GOLD Awards nominees, finalists and winners will be verified by an independent verifier, Ernst & Young.
