The NASD Securities Exchange delivered a strong performance in 2025, with total market capitalisation rising to N2.12tn at year-end, a 106 per cent jump from N1.03tn in 2024. The expansion was fuelled by fresh listings and widespread price gains across listed securities.
The Exchange said its diversification strategy delivered measurable results, with increased activity across equities, fixed-income instruments, and digital securities, marking a shift from strategy formulation to execution. While activity on the flagship over-the-counter market remained moderate, it was supported by new company admissions and improved stability among established securities.
The NASD Pension Index also recorded significant gains, climbing 215 per cent to 3,002.68 points from 954.33 points in 2024. Listing activity continued to be a key driver of growth for the platform, the Exchange noted.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NASD, Eguarekhide Longe, said in a statement that the performance “reinforces NASD’s positioning as Nigeria’s leading alternative securities exchange, providing flexible capital-raising and investment platforms outside the traditional exchange framework.”
