  7. FOREWORD The challenges faced by the Nigerian financial system since mid-2014 , following the sharp decline in crude oil price, reduction in external reserves, increased foreign exchange demand pressures and volatility of the exchange rate were ameliorated in the first half of 2017. The path to recovery was daunting, for the mono-product and import dependent economy. The Bank deployed heterodox policies aimed at stabilising the naira exchange rate in order to achieve rate convergence in the various segments of the market. This culminated in the introduction of the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange (NAFEX) Window, otherwise known as the Investors and Exporters Window. I am, glad to note that the initiatives put in place yielded the desired result as the foreign exchange market became stable and the arbitrage premium between the inter-bank and bureaux de change (BDC) narrowed. The decision to continue with contractionary monetary policy stance was not an easy one, at a time when the economy was in recession. However, the Bank had to focus on its key mandate of maintaining price stability. To curb rising prices, Open Market Operations became the major tool of liquidity management, complemented by statutory reserves requirement, discount window and other monetary operations. Consequently, the inflation rate, which stood at 18.72 per cent in January moderated gradually to 16.10 per cent at end-June 2017. The Financial Markets Department (FMD) played a significant role in the implementation of monetary policy to achieve the foregoing. I hereby commend the staff of the FMD for their unwavering commitment to the realization of the Bank’s mandate. Okwu Joseph Nnanna, Ph.D Deputy Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria vii
  8. PREFACE The 2017 half-year Financial Markets Activity Report highlights the activities of the Financial Market Department (FMD), aimed at implementing the Central Bank of Nigeria monetary policy, vis a vis the money, capital, fixed income and foreign exchange markets. The report has eight chapters. Chapter one provides an overview, while chapter two examines the operations in the domestic money market. Chapter three focuses on the developments in the foreign exchange market and chapter four on developments in the capital market. The Federal Government domestic debt activities are captured in chapter five; stakeholder collaborations and related committee activities are detailed in chapter six; while the major developments in the Nigerian financial markets are presented in seven. The appendix contains the list of guidelines and circulars issued in the first half of 2017. On behalf of the staff of the Financial Markets Department, I wish to express our gratitude to the Management of the Central Bank of Nigeria for its continued support of the Department in the achievement of the set goals. Dr. Alvan E. Ikoku Director, Financial Markets Department viii
  9. 1 .0 OVERVIEW 1. 1 Global Economy In the first half of 2017, the global economic environment was shaped by the effects of geopolitical developments that followed the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (Brexit) elections and the United States of America (USA) presidential elections, both in 2016, and continuing tension in the Middle East. These affected prospects of the relationship between the United Kingdom and the rest of the European Union, and the avowed policy direction of the President of the USA with the rest of the world. Amidst these, commodity prices weakened, with the global oil price in particular, that opened at US$60 slowing to US$42 in June 2017. The decline reflected the increasing supply at the international market due to weak compliance to OPEC production cuts by member states, resilience of the US shale oil industry and improved oil production in Libya and Nigeria, amongst other factors. This had positive effects on oil importing economies, but, negatively impacted oil exporting countries, and precipitated OPEC to extend oil production cuts till the first quarter of 2018, to shore up prices. Headline inflation remained at levels well below central bank targets in most advanced economies, while core inflation in emerging economies remained broadly stable, with a few, such as Brazil and Russia, witnessing strong declines. Capital flows to emerging economies were robust and resilient in the first few months of 2017, with a notable increase in non-resident portfolio inflows and bond issuances. On exchange rates, the U.S. dollar depreciated by about 3.5 percent in real effective terms, while the Euro strengthened by a similar rate against the backdrop of increased confidence in the Euro-area recovery, and a decline in political risk. Exchange rate changes across emerging market currencies were relatively modest, with some strengthening of the Mexican peso on tight monetary policy and reduced concerns about U.S. trade frictions, and a depreciation of the Brazilian currency (real) on renewed political uncertainty. Thus, performance in the USA reflected economic growth of 2.1 per cent in the first half of 2017, higher than the growth of 1.65 per cent recorded in the last half of 2016. Similarly, yields 1
  10. on fixed income securities rebounded , in anticipation of improved prospects for growth and higher prices, after a sustained period of low bond yields. In the UK, however, the economy weakened due to rising inflation and slow consumer demand as the consequence of Brexit, with the gross domestic product (GDP) growth at 0.3 per cent in the first half of 2017, driven by services such as retail and film production & distribution, as against 0.7 per cent in the last half of 2016. In Europe, the elections in France symbolised a strengthening of reforms in the Euroarea and a restoration of economic integration against the threat of further dismemberment. Thus, growth rate in the 28-member Euro-area was sustained at 0.6 per cent in the first half of the year, same as in the preceding half of 2016. The economies of Germany, France, Spain, Belgium and Austria grew by 0.6, 0.5, 0.9, 0.5 and 0.8 per cent, respectively, in the period under review as against 0.3, 0.4, 0.7, 0.3 and 0.7 per cent, in the preceding half year. In Asia, the Chinese economy expanded by 6.9 per cent in the first half of 2017, against 6.8 per cent in the preceding half year. The observed improvement in the review period was buoyed by a booming property sector and the positive outcomes of ongoing fiscal reforms. The economy of Japan also recorded improved growth marginally at 1.5 per cent in the first half of 2017, attributable to strong domestic demand, over 1.4 per cent expansion in the last half of 2016. Growth in India, however, slowed to 6.0 per cent in the first half of 2017, from 7.3 percent in preceding half year 2016, due to a fall in manufacturing output in the second quarter of 2017, for the first time since November 2015. Growth in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region declined due to unending economic and political headwinds as well as subdued crude oil prices and production cuts mandated by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Hence, Saudi Arabia with the most oil production cuts experienced stunted growth and Yemen, which has been enmeshed in civil strife since 2015 continued to contract economically. Consequently, the preliminary estimate was that the region’s GDP expanded by 2.4 per cent in the first half of 2017, lower than the 2.9 per cent recorded in the preceding half of 2016. The estimated slowdown in the review period was accounted for, in part, by the economic performance in some of the countries in the region, like Iran and Israel, which had impressive performance in previous quarters. 2
  11. In Sub-Saharan Africa , growth rate was positive with stronger performance in non-resource rich countries compared to the resource rich ones that suffered commodity price shocks, foreign exchange shortages and fiscal deficits. Nonetheless, the region was generally faced with other obstacles to growth, including weak foreign direct investment, public debt burdens and political risk, as with other emerging and developing economies. Nigeria, the dominant economy in the region, exited recession in the second quarter of 2017. This resulted in a growth rate of negative 0.09 per cent for the country in the first half of 2017 compared to the negative growth rate of 2.03 per cent in the last half of 2016. In Ghana, the gross domestic product grew by 1.3 per cent in the first half of 2017 as against 0.7 per cent in the last half of 2016. The growth reflected increased output in manufacturing, oil production and agriculture, amongst other sectors of the economy. South Africa, the second largest economy in the region plunged into recession in the first quarter of the review year, following two consecutive quarters of declines from the fourth quarter of 2016. The slowdown was occasioned by sharp fall in both the secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy, particularly in the trade and manufacturing sectors. However, the South African economy exited the recession in the second quarter owing to stellar performance in agriculture amid improved weather conditions, mining and exports. This led to a positive growth of 0.5 per cent or 2.5 per cent annualised seasonally-adjusted growth rate, in the second half of 2017. 1.2 Domestic Economy The Nigerian economy exited its five-quarters recession in the second quarter of 2017, as the real gross domestic product expanded by 0.72 per cent. This resulted in half year growth rate of negative 0.09 per cent in the first half of 2017 as against 1.08 per cent negative growth rate in the preceding half year. The modest recovery was attributable to moderate recovery in the oil prices, increased oil production in the volatile Niger Delta region and a rebound in capital spending as well as in the non-oil sector, particularly agriculture, manufacturing and services, amongst others. The launch of the Federal Government’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) in the review period, designed specifically to accelerate infrastructure development and diversification of the economy through industrialisation, address unstable energy supply, ensure adequate food security, and promote social investment, further provided support to the economy. 3
  12. Inflation also improved during the review period , with five-monthly declines from 18.55 percent in the first quarter to 17.26 per cent in second quarter of 2017. In the foreign exchange market, the foreign exchange rate was relatively stable owing to increased supply that followed various measures adopted by the monetary authority in the review period. The measures included the resumption of sale of foreign exchange to bureaux-de-change (BDCs), introduction of windows for small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs), invisibles and for the investors and exporters (I&E). The measures further brought about reduced premium and arbitrage between the interbank and BDC segments and a convergence in exchange rates. 1.3 Monetary Policy Monetary policy during the period was tight with the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) and Liquidity Ratio maintained at 14.00, 22.50 and 30.0 per cent, respectively. The asymmetric corridor around the MPR was retained at +200/-500 basis points, resulting in the maintenance of the Standing Lending Facilities (SLF) and Standing Deposit Facilities (SDF) at 16.00 and 9.00 per cent, respectively. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) intervened regularly at the interbank segment of the foreign exchange market and sustained its sale to bureaux de change (BDCs) and deposit money banks (DMBs) in order to maintain exchange rate stability. 1.4 Nigerian Financial Markets Operations 1.4.1 Money Market The activities in the money market during the period reflected the trend in liquidity flows in the banking system. The interplay of the forces of demand for and supply of funds by authorized dealers in the inter-bank market indicated over reliance on collateralized transactions. This reflected market players’ sentiment on risk management. The fiscal operations of government sustained constant flow of liquidity into the system alongside the discount window operations, repurchase agreement and repayment of maturing obligations from the primary market of government securities. 4
  13. 1 .4.2 Foreign Exchange Market The foreign exchange market witnessed persistent demand pressures, resulting in arbitrage between the inter-bank market and BDCs rates. To address the gap, the Bank adopted different measures. These included targeted foreign exchange sales to some critical sectors for raw materials, machinery, agriculture, aviation and petroleum; increased funding of the demand for invisibles (personal and business travel allowances, as well as medical and school fees). Furthermore, a special window was opened for the funding of small and medium scale enterprises to access a maximum of US$20,000.00 weekly for eligible imports. In addition, the CBN actively participated in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Naira Settled Futures market, and introduced the Investors and Exporters (I&E) window to facilitate independent trade on the Financial Market Dealers Quotations (FMDQ) OTC Exchange. 1.4.3 Capital Market Development Activities at the Nigerian capital market rebounded and transactions on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) remained largely bullish. The development was attributable to the liberalization of the foreign exchange market which boosted investors’ confidence and increased capital inflow, coupled with the gradual recovery from the economic recession. 1.5 Federal Government Domestic Debt The total domestic debt outstanding to the Federal Government at end June, 2017 stood at N11,860.77 billion, compared with N10,606.33 billion in the corresponding period of 2016. This indicated an increase of N1,254.43 billion or 11.83 per cent. The debt stock in the period under review comprised FGN Bonds worth N7,962.19 billion or 67.13 per cent, NTBs worth N3,702.83 billion or 31.22 per cent and FGN Saving Bonds worth N4.75 billion or 0.04 per cent. Consequently, the cost of servicing the debt also grew, by 11.34 per cent to N687.37 billion at end-June 2017, compared to N617.36 billion at end-June 2016. 5
  14. 1 .6 Activities of Internal and Inter-Agency Committees The Financial Markets Department (FMD) was involved in collaborative activities with internal and external stakeholders to further deepen the financial markets as well as promote timely market interventions towards the achievement of monetary policy objectives. These activities were also undertaken to obtain timely market intelligence reports on the impact of monetary policy decisions and promote the development of efficient markets. 1.7 Other Developments in the Nigerian Financial Markets The actions taken by the various regulatory authorities influenced activities in the Nigerian financial markets. These included the enactment of policies aimed at enhancing financial intermediation, developing the payments system, deepening the capital and commodities markets and ensuring effective management of foreign exchange. 1.8 Guidelines and Circulars The CBN issued new guidelines and circulars to operators in the financial markets to guide their activities. In the same vein, some of the existing guidelines and circulars were revised. The details of the releases can be accessed on the CBN website, www.cbn.gov.ng. Appendix 1 contains a list of the documents. 6
  15. 2 .0 DOMESTIC MONEY MARKET OPERATIONS The developments in the money markets reflected the tight monetary policy stance. Contributory factors to the tightness included the frequent OMO auctions, foreign exchange interventions and the adjustments to the operational modalities of CRR. The money market rates recorded wider oscillations in the first half of 2017, compared to the first half of 2016, despite the increased patronage of the discount window. 2.1 Liquidity Management The liquidity in the banking system was influenced by fiscal and monetary operations. The fiscal authorities enhanced cash flows through repayments of maturing debt obligations and releases of Statutory Revenue Allocation (SRA) and Value Added Tax (VAT) to the three tiers of government, while the monetary authorities conducted open market operations and interventions in the foreign exchange market that impacted the cash balances of the DMBs. These activities were complemented by net external flows from the private sector. In view of the restrictive monetary policy stance during the period, the MPR was retained at 14.00 per cent, with the asymmetric corridor at +200/-500 basis points for SLF and SDF, respectively. The CRR and liquidity ratio were equally maintained at 22.50 and 30.00 per cent, respectively. At the foreign exchange market, liquidity was enhanced by the Bank’s increased supply to the various segments of the market, resulting in the appreciation of the naira. 2.1.1 Open Market Operations OMO remained the major instrument for liquidity management in the first half of 2017, and was used to moderate excess liquidity, boost tradable securities, and deepen secondary market activities. 7
  16. 2 .1.1.1 Open Market Operations Auctions The CBN Bills that were offered amounted to N3,702.96 billion, while total public subscription and sale amounted to N4,593.93 billion and N3,871.27 billion, respectively. This compared with N1,922.45 billion, N3,869.94 billion and N2,329.75 billion offered, subscribed to and sold respectively, in the corresponding period of 2016 (Table 2.1; Figure 2.1 and 2.2). The tenors of OMO auction ranged from 140 to 364 days, while the stop rates were between 16.00 to 18.60 per cent. In the preceding year, the tenors ranged between 143 and 364 days, while the stop rates were between 7.70 and 13.50 per cent. The increased transactions during the review period were attributable to the greater monetary tightening stance that resulted in increased number of auctions. In addition, CBN Bills maturities and the monthly disbursements to the three tiers of government by the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) contributed. Thus, the cost of liquidity management amounted to N577.46 billion compared to N122.99 billion in the corresponding period of 2016. Figure 2.1 Open Market Operations, January-June, 2017 8

However, in the last half of 2016, there were transactions amounting to N16.00 billion at a marginal rate of 18.00 per cent for 185-day tenors. 2.1.2 Discount Window Operations 2.1.2.1 Rediscounting At the instance of two DMBs, CBN Bills worth N5.29 billion with tenors ranging from 6 to 129 days were rediscounted at 18.80 to 19.10 per cent. Interest that accrued to the banks was N0.16 billion. In the corresponding period of the preceding year, government securities valued at N35.36 billion with tenors of 27-188 days were rediscounted at rates that ranged from 16.25 to 17.15 per cent. Interest that accrued to the bank was N1.71 billion. Generally, rediscounting activities have been low over the last few years owing to Management’s permissibility and the punitive rate that applies, which acts as a disincentive (Table 2.9). 9
  18. 2 .1.2.2 Repurchase Transactions Repurchase (repo) transactions in the period under review amounted to N352.66 billion, while the corresponding interest earned stood at N16.05 billion. The applicable rates ranged from 18.50 to 19.50 per cent at tenors that ranged from 4 to 90 days. The high level of transactions was occasioned by the recurrence of some authorized dealers at the window to bridge liquidity shortfalls. However, there was no repo in the corresponding period of 2016 as eligible institutions utilized the Standing Lending Facility to meet short term funding gaps (Table 2.3). 2.1.2.3 CBN Standing Facilities In the first half of 2017, standing facilities were accessed by the banks to enable them either meet their short-term liquidity needs or place their surpluses. The rates for SDF and SLF remained at 9.00 and 16.00 per cent, respectively. 2.1.2.3.1 Standing Lending Facility SLF was utilized by the banks in order to enable them square up their positions after inter-bank market trading hours. Thus, the total SLF granted in the review period amounted to The patronage of the SLF reflected the liquidity position during the first half of the year. The requests were lowest on January 2 at N83.61 billion and highest on April 18 at N478.54 billion. In view of the 122 transaction days within the period, the daily average request amounted to N225.14 billion. N27,466.58 billion, out of which N20,629.98 billion was conversion from unsettled Intraday Liquidity Facility (ILF). The patronage of the facility reflected the liquidity position during the first half of the year, as requests were at its lowest on January 2, 2017 with N83.61 billion and at its highest on April 18, 2017 with N478.54 billion. In view of the 122 transaction days within the period, average daily request amounted to N225.14 billion. Consequently, the cumulative interest received on the facilities was N21.13 billion at 16.00 per cent (Table 2.3). In comparison with the corresponding period of the previous year, total SLF transactions amounted to N5,079.58 billion, out of which N4,836.61 billion was conversion from ILF. Thus, 10
  19. the average daily request stood at N59 .76 billion, while the cumulative interest received on the facilities was N2.92 billion at the applicable rates of 13.00 and 14.00 per cent. The higher level of transactions over the corresponding period in 2016 was occasioned by the tight monetary operations in 2017. 2.1.2.2.2 Standing Deposit Facility The patronage of the SDF reflected the liquidity unease in the system as less funds were deposited compared with the corresponding period of the preceding year. The reduced patronage was due to tighter monetary operations through increased OMO auctions. The foreign exchange interventions, in addition, moderated the cash balances in the banking system. The restriction of N7.50 billion maximum remunerable SDF per bank remained applicable. The total request for SDF in the review period was N5,510.75 billion, indicating a daily average volume of N45.54 billion as against a total SDF of N12,699.74 billion and daily average of N102.42 billion in the corresponding period of 2016. Further analysis of the transactions indicated that the highest amount of SDF was N121.50 billion on February 2, while the lowest was N0.30 billion on March 20. Consequently, the interest paid on SDF amounted to N1.99 billion at the rate of 9.00 per cent in the first half of 2017, as against N2.84 billion at 4.00 per cent from January 1 to March 21 and 7.00 per cent from March 22 to June 30, 2016 (Table 2.4). 2.2 Inter-bank Funds Market The total value of transactions in the funds market stood at N864.93 billion in the first half of 2017, as against N513.11 billion in the corresponding period of 2016. The high level of activity in the review period was attributable to liquidity squeeze occasioned by tight monetary operations. Further analysis of the transactions indicated that open-buy-back (OBB) accounted for 89.42 per cent at N773.42 billion, while the unsecured recorded 10.58 per cent at N91.51 billion. In the preceding year, OBB accounted for less at N203.54 billion or 39.67 per cent compared to the unsecured segment which recorded N309.57 billion or 60.33 per cent (Table 2.5).The shift in patronage in favour of OBB in the review period was attributable largely to greater risk aversion by market participants. 11
  20. 2 .3 Interest Rates Movement The movement in money market rates was influenced by liquidity conditions in the banking system. The contributory factors included the fiscal operations of government; effects of CRR maintenance periods; deposits and settlement for foreign exchange interventions, as well as the sale and maturity of CBN Bills. Consequently, the daily inter-bank call rates ranged from 4.43 to 200.00 per cent, while the daily OBB ranged from 2.51 to 162.45 per cent in the review period. The weighted monthly average rates at the call segment was 8.29 per cent in January, peaked at 58.73 per cent in April and moderated to 12.37 per cent in June 2017. Similarly, at the OBB, the weighted monthly average rates was 8.26 per cent in January, peaked at 45.07 per cent in April and moderated to 25.53 per cent in June 2017 (Table 2.6, Figure 2.3). During the first half of 2016, the weighted monthly average rates at the call segment was 2.75 per cent in January and peaked at 29.91 per cent in June 2016. Similarly, at the OBB, the weighted monthly average rates was 2.90 per cent in January and rose to 21.75 per cent in June 2016 (Figure 2.4). 12

  22. 2 .4 Central Bank of Nigeria Promissory Notes Promissory notes were not issued in the first half of 2017 as in 2016 (Table 2.8). This was due to the absence of claims in respect of the liabilities of the acquired banks. 14
  23. 3 .0 FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET OPERATIONS The foreign exchange market witnessed relative stability in the first half of 2017, owing to the policy adjustments by the Bank which improved supply and moderated exchange rate volatility. Some of the measures included sale of foreign exchange to both banks and BDCs for retail demand, introduction of special windows for small and medium scale enterprises, and investors and exporters, and the active participation of the Bank at the OTC Naira Settled Futures market, real sector financing, motivation for local content sourcing and backward integration, amongst others. Consequently, the exchange rate at the BDC segment, which opened high at the beginning of the year and peaked at N515.00/US$ in February, decelerated sharply and stabilized around N366.00/US$ at the end of the half year. Nevertheless, the inter-bank rate remained stable around N305.00/US$ throughout the review period. 3.1 Developments in the Foreign Exchange Market There was a significant improvement in the liquidity in the foreign exchange market as supply increased, leading to exchange rate moderation. This followed the resumption of CBN supply to the BDCs as well as provisioning for invisibles (personal and business travel allowances as well as medical and school fees) that were hitherto funded from autonomous sources. In addition, the Bank introduced special windows for Investors’ and Exporters (Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange, (NAFEX)); SMEs to purchase US$20,000 quarterly for eligible transactions; and direct interventions to some critical transactions (selected raw materials, machinery, agriculture, aviation and petroleum products imports). As a result, the exchange rate at the inter-bank market remained relatively stable, while it appreciated markedly at the BDC segment of the foreign exchange market. The reduction of tenors from a maximum of 180 days to much shorter days in the forward market, mandate to the DMBs to open foreign exchange retail outlets including at major airports, amongst others, contributed to assuaging market expectations. 15
  24. 3 .2 Inter-bank Foreign Exchange Market In line with the subsisting foreign exchange management mechanism, the CBN continued to intervene at the inter-bank segment of the market with total sales amounting to US$7,642.61 million. This comprised US$747.89 million spot, US$704.86 million for invisibles, US$441.00 million for SMEs and US$5,748.86 million at the forwards market. On the other hand, the CBN purchased a total of US$1,013.75 million at the interbank market. Consequently, net sales by the Bank amounted to US$6,628.86 million; while the sum of US$5,332.66 million matured at the forward segment of the market, and US$1,988.67 million remained outstanding at end-June 2017. In the first half of 2016, the Bank sold a total of US$9,215.62 million, made up of US$5,727.86 million spot and US$3,487.76 million at the forwards market. However, there was neither purchase nor maturity at the forward market (Table 3.1, Figures 3.1 and 3.2). The introduction of special windows for Investors’ and Exporters (Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange, NAFEX) to execute transactions, sale of US$20,000 quarterly to each SME for eligible transactions, and direct interventions to some critical transactions The sales by the CBN in the first half of 2017 were lower, traceable to the policy adjustments that encouraged larger autonomous inflows into the market. (selected raw materials, machinery, agriculture, aviation and petroleum products imports). 16

  26. 3 .3 Naira-Settled Over the Counter Foreign Exchange Futures The sum of US$1,830.45 million was traded in the futures market, while US$2,771.24 million matured and US$2,714.41 million remained outstanding at end-June 2017. There was no transaction in the corresponding period of 2016 as the derivative product was introduced on June 20, 2016, while transactions commenced thereafter, with the aim of enhancing market liquidity, promoting futures transactions and minimizing frontloading activities. The product, which is tradable on the FMDQ OTC securities exchange, entitles parties to agree an exchange rate for a non-deliverable forward (notional amount) and settle at maturity on the basis of exchange rate differential, with reference to the spot rate in the local currency. 3.4 Bureaux-de-Change The direct sale of foreign exchange by the Bank to the BDCs resumed in the first half of 2017, in addition to sales by DMBs and Travelex, thereby increasing supply in the retail market and bridging the gap in exchange rate premium with the inter-bank market. Thus, the daily BDC exchange rate, which opened at N490.00/US$ closed at N366.00/US$ at end-June 2017. However, the exchange rate depreciated to N515.00/US$ on February 20, 2017 before appreciating appreciably to N365.00/US$ on June 2, 2017. On monthly basis, the average exchange rate opened at N493.29/US$ in January and closed at N366.25/US$ in June, 2017 (Table 3.2). 3.5 Interbank Foreign Exchange Rate Movement At the inter-bank segment of the market, the daily exchange rate opened at N305.00/US$ and closed at N305.90/US$ at end-June 2017. The rate was relatively stable as a result of increased supply in the market through interventions by the monetary authority. On monthly basis, the average exchange rate opened at N305.20/US$ in January and depreciated gradually to N306.40/US$ in March before closing low at N305.71/US$ in June, 2017. Arising from the improved supply of foreign exchange, the average premium in exchange rate between the inter-bank market and BDC segment decelerated steadily from a high of N189.39 or 18
  27. 62 .03 per cent in February, 2017 and closed at N60.54 or 19.80 per cent in June (Table 3.2; Figure 3.3 and3.4). Figure 3.3 Inter-bank and BDC Rates, 2017 19

This represented an improvement over the performance during the corresponding period of 2016, when the premium increased from N92.78 to N120.06 between January and June (Figure 3.6). The development in the first half of 2017 was as a result of improved liquidity in the foreign exchange market. 20

  31. Box Information - The Federal Government of Nigeria 's Economic Recovery and Growth Plan 2017-2020: Implications for the Central Bank of Nigeria Box Information The Federal Government of Nigeria Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, 2017 – 2020: Implications for the Central Bank of Nigeria In line with the fiscal strategy and medium-term expenditure framework (MTEF), the Federal Government propagated the economic recovery and growth plan (ERGP) to guide its operations within the period, and follow up the Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) set out in the 2016 Budget of Change. The plan aims to diversify the economy and address its over-reliance on commodity exports and import dependency. It further targets to enhance the realization of government objectives towards curbing corruption, improving security and re-building the economy. In addition, the ERGP proposes to promote a knowledge-based economy, innovation, ease of doing business and market-based solutions through the application of ICT. The guiding principles for the ERGP were driven by the desire to eliminate constraints to growth, leverage the power of the private sector, promote national cohesion and social inclusion, allow markets to function and uphold core values. In this regard, the key execution priorities set out by the ERGP were as follows:  Stabilizing the macroeconomic environment;  Achieving agriculture and food security;  Ensuring energy sufficiency (power and petroleum products);  Improving transportation infrastructure; and,  Driving industrialization, with focus on Small and Medium Scale Enterprises. In view of the principles and objectives of the ERGP, the CBN as the monetary authority, implicitly or explicitly, has a responsibility to take necessary actions to support the plan. Thus, in consideration of the ERGP objective of maintaining a stable macroeconomic environment, price stability is expected to be maintained to support savings, investment and growth. Hence, price stability reduces uncertainty for households and businesses and enables planning to be effective. In that regard, the monetary authorities, charged with the responsibility for monetary management, are expected to moderate the growth in base money appropriate to attain optimal interest, exchange and inflation rates. In recognition of the maintenance of price stability role, the Bank, through the Monetary Policy Committee, consistently maintained the benchmark Monetary Policy Rate at 14 per cent during 23
  32. the first half of the year , tightened liquidity management and adopted measures aimed at enhancing liquidity in the foreign exchange market to moderate exchange rate volatility and bridge the gap between the inter-bank and bureau de change segments. To further ensure the achievement of this task, however, intense collaboration is required between the monetary and fiscal authorities in the pursuit of harmonious goals. In view of weak earnings and external reserve position, government expenditure would largely be financed from the domestic and external debt market. The Bank would have to sustain and maintain quality services to government through issuing of appropriate securities, banking and funds management activities, amongst others. The sustenance of a sound and reliable banking sector would also have to be preserved to ensure the financial system provides its intermediary functions of financial resource mobilisation and allocation effectively. It is noteworthy, therefore, to observe that adequate capacity in banking regulation and supervision should be developed and maintained, with particular emphasis on risk management and control, as well as consumer protection. In a like manner, the promotion of financial services has to be enhanced, and consumer awareness of rights and privileges, as well as the provision of complaints or dispute resolution mechanisms would have to be popularized, and seen to be effective. Consequently, the Financial Inclusion Strategy and the various financial literacy programmes of the Bank are expected to drive additional motivation to surpass the earlier targets set. 24
  33. 4 .0 CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTS The activities in the capital market rebounded during the first half of 2017. Consequently, the All Share Index and Market Capitalization rose by 24.42 per cent and 25.00 per cent, respectively. The value and number of deals executed on the exchange also increased, even though the volume of shares traded decreased when compared with the corresponding period in 2016. The marked performance was attributable largely to the liberalization of the foreign exchange market which boosted foreign investor confidence and encouraged capital inflows as well as the gradual recovery of the economy from recession. 4.1 Nigerian Stock Market The activities in the market rebounded during the first half of 2017, as the major indicators, viz Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE or the Exchange) All Share Index (ASI) and the Market Capitalization (MC) recorded increases. The rebound was attributable to the liberalization of the foreign exchange market which boosted foreign investor confidence and encouraged capital inflows; the gradual recovery of the economy from recession; and the effect of corporate actions recorded on the Exchange that impacted positively. 4.1.1 All Share Index and Market Capitalisation The ASI opened at 26,616.89 and closed at 33,117.48, representing an increase of 6,500.11 points or 24.42 per cent. Similarly, the market capitalization of listed equities increased by N2.29 trillion or 25.00 per cent, from N9.16 trillion at the beginning of January to N11.45 trillion at end-June 2017. The increase in both the ASI and MC was attributable to the listing of new . The value of shares traded increased to N504.70 billion in the review period, from N281.79 billion in the corresponding period of 2016. Similarly, the number of deals increased to 503,929 from 451,547 in the respective periods. The rise in value and number of deals demonstrated the resurgence in investor confidence, competitiveness of the market and signal to the economy recovery. issues, rights issues as well as preponderance of share price gainers during the review period. The re-entry of portfolio investors who exited at the onset of economic slowdown further boosted activities in the market. 25
  34. In the corresponding period of 2016 , the ASI increased by 1,227.47 points or 4.33 per cent to 29,597.79 at end-June, from 28,370.32 at the beginning of January. Equally, the MC of equities increased by N0.40 trillion or 4.10 per cent, from N9.76 trillion at the start of January to N10.16 trillion at end-June, 2016 (Table 4.1). The value and volume of transactions oscillated during the review period. Thus, the value of transactions which opened at N3.76 billion in January closed at N3.35 billion in June. Similarly, the volume of transactions declined from 3.37 billion units to 0.35 billion units in the same period (Tables 4.1). 4.1.2 Market Turnover The turnover of activities in the market as reflected in the value and number of deals increased, albeit a decrease in the volume of shares traded when compared with the level in 2016. The value of shares traded increased to N553.27 billion in the review period, from N313.25 billion in the corresponding period of 2016. Similarly, the number of deals increased to 565,948 from 455,283 in the respective periods. The rise in value and number of deals demonstrated the resurgence in investor confidence, competitiveness of the market and signal to the economy recovery. However, the volume of shares traded declined to 56.74 billion shares in the review period as against 61.97 billion in the corresponding period of 2016, owing to the increases in price changes and number of deals (Table 4.2). Foreign investors’ participation in the market, on a monthly basis, stood at an average of 45.43 per cent, compared with the 42.71 per cent in the first half of 2016. Arising from this development, the total value of foreign portfolio inflows into the market stood at N215.97 billion, as against N121.29 billion in the corresponding period of 2016. The value of foreign portfolio outflows stood at N214.26 billion as against N147.92 billion in the preceding period (Table 4.4). In effect, the net flow was slightly positive in 2017 and negative in 2016, 26
  35. contributing to foreign exchange accretion during first half of 2017 as opposed to depletion during the corresponding period of 2016 . 4.1.3 Sectoral Distribution of Market Activities The financial services sector was the most active during the first half of 2017, accounting for 83.37 per cent of the volume of equities traded compared with 84.98 per cent in the corresponding period of 2016. The remaining sectors accounted for 16.63 per cent (Table 4.3). 4.1.4 New and Supplementary Listings and Delisting The NSE admitted one company, two corporate bonds, one state government bond, six FGN Bonds and one Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) on the floor of the Exchange between January and June, 2017. In addition, there were sixteen supplementary listings comprising four equities and twelve FGN Bonds on account of bonus issues, rights issues and additional issues. On other hand, there were two ETF redemptions, one each from Vetiva Griffin 30 ETF and Lotus Halal Equity ETF (Table 4.5). The ASI opened at 26,616.89 and closed at 33,117.48, representing an increase of 6,500.11 points or 24.42 per cent. Similarly, the market capitalization of listed equities increased by N2.29 trillion or 25.00 per cent, from N9.16 trillion at the beginning of January to N11.45 trillion at endJune 2017. 4.1.5 Other Developments in the Capital Market Other activities that were observed in the capital market included the following:  Extension of deadline for the stoppage of issuance of physical dividend in the capital market from June 30, to December 31, 2017 in order to allow more investors enroll on the Electronic Dividend Mandate Management System (E-DMMS), strengthen the application of Know Your Customer (KYC) principles, eliminate unclaimed dividend outstanding and check malpractices in the market.  The NSE collaboration with appropriate authorities to enhance foreign exchange availability to companies, eliminate double taxation, to revise and legislate on Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA, Investment and Securities Act (ISA), demutualization of the exchange and other bills.  Establishment of an automation process for trading rights issues by the NSE. 27
  36.  Launching of X-Academy, which is a financial literacy programme aimed at promoting awareness, opportunities and possibilities in the capital market to the public.  Rebalancing of market indices which affected the review of NSE 30, NSE insurance, NSE Pension and NSE Lotus Islamic, leading to the removal of some companies and the admission of qualified companies into the indices. 28
  37. 5 .0 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOMESTIC DEBT The government continued to rely on public financing to support its revenue shortfalls. It issued new instruments comprising NTBs, FGN Bonds and Federal Government Savings Bonds, while all the outstanding obligations to previously issued instruments as the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN) Treasury Bonds were yet to mature. Consequently, the stock of FGN domestic debt outstanding amounted to N11,860.77 billion at end-June, 2017. This represented an increase of N1,254.44 billion or 11.83 per cent over N10,606.33 billion at end June, 2016, with implications for the cost of servicing, which also escalated by 11.34 per cent to N687.37 billion at end-June 2017, from N617.36 billion at end-June 2016. 5.1 Nigerian Treasury Bills The total NTBs issued and allotted was N2,929.25 billion apiece, indicating an increase of N471.97 billion or 19.21 per cent over the level in the corresponding period of 2016. The increase was attributable to the issuance of fresh NTBs to finance fiscal deficit. Total public subscription, however, stood at N3,966.92 billion, compared to N5,057.39 billion in the corresponding period of 2016. The low level of public subscription was traceable to the liquidity squeeze by the monetary authority around the period of issuances. The structure of holdings of the instrument indicated that DMBs (including foreign investors) took up N1,553.27 billion or 53.03 per cent, mandate and internal funds customers (including CBN Branches) N1,176.14 billion or 40.15 per cent, merchant banks N72.66 billion or 2.48 per cent and CBN take-up of N127.18 billion or 4.34 per cent (Table 5.2; Figures 5.1 and 5.2). The successful bid rates in the market ranged from 13.40 to 14.00 per cent for the 91-day, 17.14 to 17.50 per cent for the 182-day and 18.45 to 18.98 per cent for the 364-day tenors. The range of successful bid rates in the corresponding period of 2016 was lower, between 4.00 and 9.99 per cent for the 91-day, 6.99 and 12.30 per cent for the 182-day and between 8.05 and 14.99 per cent for the 364-day tenors (Table 5.8), largely on account of the level of liquidity in the banking system and the prevailing monetary policy stance 29
  38. Figure 5 .1 NTB Primary Market Auction, January - June, 2017 Figure 4 NTB Primary Market Auction, January – June, 2016 5.1.1 Structure of Outstanding Nigerian Treasury Bills Holdings The structure of NTB holdings outstanding indicated that DMBs accounted for 44.60 per cent of the total at end-June 2017 compared with 38.41 per cent in the corresponding period of 2016. Mandate and Internal Account customers (parastatals) accounted for 55.02 per cent, merchant banks 0.33 per cent, while the CBN accounted for 0.06 per cent (Table 5.3). 30
  39. 5 .2 Federal Republic of Nigeria Treasury Bonds There was no new issue of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Treasury Bonds (FRNTBs), as the Federal Government relied on the issuance of FGN Bonds to raise needed funds. Hence, the outstanding stock of the instrument at end-June 2017 stood at N190.99 billion, compared to N230.99 billion at end-June 2016. The decline in the amount outstanding was due to the redemption of N40.00 billion at end 2016. A breakdown of the amount outstanding showed that the CBN held N64.65 billion, while N126.34 billion was held in the Sinking Fund (Table 5.4). In 2016, the CBN held N81.81 billion, while N149.18 billion was held in the Sinking Fund. 5.3 Federal Government of Nigeria Bonds The total value of FGN Bonds offered to the public was N785.00 billion, while public subscription and sale stood at N1,237.94 billion and N849.53 billion, respectively (Table 5.5). The amount offered comprised new issues and re-openings of FGN Bonds series 1, 2, 4 and 6. In the same period of 2016, FGN Bonds issues, subscription and allotment amounted to N590.00 billion, N1,183.83 billion and N529.50 billion, respectively. The huge subscription in the bond market against the corresponding period of 2016 was attributable to investor preferences for long tenored instruments and the attractive yields. Consequently, the total value of FGN Bonds outstanding at end-June 2017 stood at N8,614.75 billion, compared The cost of domestic debt instruments of the FGN stood at N687.37 billion at end-June 2017, representing an increase of 11.34 per cent when compared to N617.36 billion at end-June 2016. to N8,153.96 billion at end-June, 2016, indicating an increase of N460.79 billion or 5.65 per cent (Table 5.5.1). The structure of holdings of the FGN Bonds showed that N3,128.39 billion or 36.31 per cent was held by DMBs, N188.66 billion or 2.19 per cent by merchant banks, and the balance of N5,297.70 billion or 61.50 per cent held by non-bank public (Table 5.7). 31
  40. 5 .4 Domestic Debt Charges The cost of domestic debt instruments of the FGN stood at N687.37 billion at end-June 2017, representing an increase of 11.34 per cent when compared to N617.36 billion at end-June 2016. The increase in the cost of debt servicing was attributable to the increased stock of the domestic debt instruments, from N10,606.33 billion at end-June 2016, to N11,860.77 billion at end-June 2017, which included the newly introduced FGN Savings Bonds (Table 5.1). A breakdown of the cost showed that FGN Bonds coupon payments accounted for N473.19 billion or 68.84 per cent, while interest on NTBs stood at N201.57 billion or 29.33 per cent, FRN Treasury Bonds, N12.54 billion or 1.82 per cent and FGN Savings Bonds contributed the balance of N0.07 billion or 0.01 per cent (Table 5.10). 5.4.1 Over-the-Counter Transactions in Nigerian Treasury Bills OTC transactions in NTBs during the first half of 2017 amounted to N31,309.56 billion, indicating an increase of N12,714.23 million or 68.37 per cent over the level of N18,595.33 billion in the same period of 2016. The increase was attributed to improved patronage from foreign investors and pension as increasing yield was attractive (Table 5.9). 5.4.2 Over-the-Counter Transactions in Federal Government of Nigeria Bonds OTC transactions in FGN Bonds during the first half of 2017 amounted to N5,353.37 billion, indicating an increase of N378.98 million or 7.26 per cent over the level of N4,974.39 billion in the same period of 2016 The trend was traceable to active participation of investors, both local and foreign (Table 5.9). 5.5 Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria Bonds Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) Bonds were fully repaid to the public in December 2014, in a restructuring exercise that led to the conversion of N3.8 trillion into 6.00% AMCON Notes for the CBN to hold, as sole investor, to maturity in 2023. The move by the CBN was to entrench stability in the banking system. 32
  41. 5 .6 Federal Government of Nigeria Savings Bonds In a bid to deepen the bonds market and encourage savings from retail investors, the Federal Government introduced the FGN Savings Bonds (FGNSB), with the first issue to the public on March 22, 2017. Since then, seven issuances were made in the first half of 2017, with a total value of N4.75 billion (Table 5.11). The issues were of 2- and 3-year tenors at fixed coupon rates. The range of coupon rates for the 2-year spanned from 12.794 to 13.189 percent, and 13.794 to 14.189 per cent for the 3- year tenor. 33
  42. 6 .0 ACTIVITIES OF INTERNAL AND INTER-AGENCY COMMITTEES The FMD was involved in collaborative efforts with both internal and external stakeholders, with a view to furthering the development of the financial markets.

  44. 6 .5.1 Workshop on Green Finance As part of efforts to successfully drive sustainable finance in the Nigerian financial services industry, the FSRCC in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) organized a two-day workshop on Green Finance for staff of member agencies. A majority of the member agencies had setup their implementation steering committees to ensure that every member agency achieves full implementation of the National road map on sustainable finance, particularly the development of sector-specific sustainability principles, by 2018 6.5.2 Production of Nigerian Financial System Stability Dashboard The Financial Sector Soundness Sub-Committee (FSSSC) of the FSRCC produced the Nigerian Financial System Stability Dashboard (NFSSD) in the first half of 2017. The dashboard, which shows at a glance the condition of the Nigerian Financial System, will be produced quarterly. 6.5.3 Fight against Illegal Fund Managers (IFMs) An interdepartmental ad-hoc committee setup to investigate the activities of ‘MMM’ and other Ponzi schemes had concluded its work and presented its recommendations on ways to prevent the future occurrence of such fraudulent activities to the FSRCC at its 58th meeting held on May 25, 2017. The recommendations which included the immediate shutdown of the websites of the IFMs are being implemented. 6.5.4 Consolidated Examination of the Financial Holding Companies A Knowledge of Business (KOB) and Risk Assessment Summary (RAS) Sessions for examiners of member agencies of the FSRCC was carried out in preparation for consolidated examination of the three Banking Groups (FCMB, FBN, and Stanbic IBTC) and its entities. The examination commenced during the review period. 6.5.5 Executive Order on the Ease of Doing business in Nigeria Following the decision of the FSRCC to review the Executive Order on the Ease of Doing business in Nigeria as it affects the Financial system, an ad-hoc Committee was setup during the period under review. 36
  45. 6 .6 FGN Sovereign Sukuk Under the auspices of the Debt Management Office (DMO), the department was involved in the process of developing a framework for the issuance of a sovereign Sukuk, to complement existing government debt instruments. The objective of the new product was to innovate a new financing mechanism for government, enhance financial inclusion, accelerate capital formation and enhance growth and development. 6.7 Resuscitation of the Nigerian Commodity Exchange In line with the Federal Government’s drive to promote agriculture and enhance food security, efforts were made to strengthen the Nigerian Commodity Exchange (NCX) with private sector participation. In that regard, the Bureau of Public Enterprises coordinated a bid evaluation exercise for the appointment of a Transaction Advisor, with the Financial Markets Department representing the Bank. The outcome of the exercise resulted in the recommendation and eventual appointment of Lead Capital Limited as the Transaction Advisor. 37
  46. 7 .0 MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS IN THE NIGERIAN FINANCIAL MARKETS Actions taken by the various regulatory authorities impacted the Nigerian financial markets and influenced the conduct of transactions. These included policies aimed at enhancing financial intermediation, developing the payments system, deepening the capital and commodities markets and ensuring effective management of foreign exchange. 7.1 Suspension of the Implementation of the Inter-change Regime The CBN suspended the Implementation of the inter-change regime, which was scheduled to take off on 1st May, 2017, to replace the Merchant Service Charge (MSC). The MSC was introduced to facilitate Point of Sale (PoS) Card Acceptance Services at the onset of the CashLess Nigeria Project. The change was intended to allow merchants and acquirers negotiate the MSC, while the CBN will control the interchange fees paid by the acquirers to the card issuer and other regulated service providers. 7.2 Licensing, Regulation and Supervision of Private Asset Management Companies The developments in the Nigerian banking industry necessitated the licensing of private Asset Management Companies (PAMCs) to play complementary roles in the management of nonperforming assets of the industry. Consequently, an exposure draft of the framework was issued on June 14, 2017 which is awaiting comments and inputs from banks and other financial institutions. 7.3 Revision of the Guidelines on Bancassurance Products- Referral Model In furtherance of the Bank’s efforts to ensure that banks comply with the regulation on the scope of banking activities and ancillary matters, No.3, 2010, the “Guideline on the Bancassurrance Products- Referral model” was revised and published on March 31, 2017. The new guideline became effective on April 1, 2017 and seeks to address developments in both the banking and insurance sectors. It replaced the one issued in March 2015. 38
  47. 7 .4 Code of Corporate Governance for Other Financial Institutions On February 27, 2017, the CBN published an exposure draft on a distinct code of corporate governance for other financial institutions such as primary mortgage banks, microfinance banks, mortgage refinance companies, development finance institutions, bureaux de change and finance companies. The code was developed to strengthen governance practices, ensure high standard of ethical conduct and provide minimum acceptable governance standards. 7.5 Virtual Currency Operations The CBN by its circular issued on January 12, 2017 cautioned banks and other financial institutions against transacting in virtual currencies (VCs). It emphasised that VCs, such as Bitcoin, Ripples and Monero are not legal tenders in Nigeria, thus any bank or institution that transacts in them does so at its own risk. The risks associated with VCs are heightened because they are traded in unregulated exchanges. The CBN strongly advised that pending the issuance of substantive regulation or decision, banks should refrain from using, holding, trading and/or transacting in VCs as well as ensure that banks have effective AML/CFT controls, for existing customers that are virtual currency exchangers, that enable them to comply with customer identification, verification and transaction monitoring requirement. 7.6 Revised Nigerian Clearing System Rules The Bank, in furtherance of its mandate for the development of the electronic payments system in Nigeria released an Exposure Draft Guideline for the Nigerian Clearing System Rules, 2016 on 30th January, 2017. The deadline for review and comments from the public was fixed as 24th February, 2017. The provisions in the guidelines include the conditions for membership and suspension, management of clearing system, eligible financial instruments, duration of holding instruments, settlement rules and procedures, obligations of settlement and non-settlement banks, cheque truncation model, clearing duration and return periods, general procedures, and responsibilities of members, amongst others. 7.7 Suspension of the National Implementation of the Cash-Less Policy The CBN vide its circular dated April 20, 2017 suspended the new withdrawal and lodgment fees above allowable cash limits in accordance with the policy on cash withdrawals and deposit 39
  48. processing . Thenceforth, processing fees have been reverted to 3.00 per cent and 5.00 percent for withdrawals above N500,000.00 and N3,000,000.00 for individual and corporates, respectively. In line with the reversion to the status quo ante, there are no processing charges for lodgments. 40
