NASD LAUNCHES FIRST DIGITAL SECURITIES PLATFORM

The NASD Plc has launched Nigeria’s first digital securities platform, marking a major step toward improving access to investment opportunities and modernising the country’s capital market.

The platform is designed to make securities trading more accessible, efficient, and transparent by leveraging digital technology to connect investors with market opportunities.

NASD said the initiative will help broaden participation in the capital market, particularly among younger investors and individuals seeking simpler ways to invest.

Market analysts said the move could deepen Nigeria’s investment ecosystem by reducing barriers to entry, improving transaction efficiency, and encouraging more people to participate in formal investment channels.

They noted that digital platforms are becoming increasingly important in expanding financial inclusion and supporting the growth of capital markets across emerging economies.

NASD reaffirmed its commitment to driving innovation, improving market accessibility, and providing solutions that support the growth of Nigeria’s securities market.
