A LEADING CAPITAL MAR KET expert in Nigeria has canvassed the provision of fiscal incentives for listed companies on the Nigerian securities exchange, an increase in the company income tax (CIT) of unlisted companies to incentivise listing without reducing government revenue, as well as a tax break to newly quoted companies for a fixed period of time, in order to reposition the Nigerian capital market for continental leadership.
The expert canvassed this position at a capital market webinar weekend with the theme, ‘Repositioning the Nigerian Capital Market for Sustainability, Growth and Continental Leadership: The Role for Stakeholders’, organised by Rham Durham Consulting Limited and monitored by Business A.M.
The event was a gathering of capital market experts who came together to chart a way forward on repositioning the Nigerian capital market to be in the forefront in Africa, and ahead of its peers like South Africa, Morocco and Egypt.
