Nigeria’s capital market has raised more than ₦753 billion through commercial paper (CP) issuances between April and October 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has disclosed.
SEC Director-General Dr. Emomotimi Agama said the strong activity in the CP segment reflects deepening market liquidity and heightened investor confidence, and that the funds were deployed to meet short-term financing needs across sectors such as manufacturing, energy and agriculture.
He noted that the performance forms part of broader capital-raising activity approved by the regulator, with other notable transactions in the debt capital market, including a ₦500 billion Climate Funding SPV and a ₦200 billion Elektron Finance bond issuance.
The SEC chief attributed the robust CP market to improving macroeconomic conditions and reforms that have helped deepen investor interest in Nigeria’s capital market. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
