In a policy briefing on the recapitalisation exercise, the commission disclosed that equity market capitalisation rose from 99.38 trillion naira at the close of 2025 to 129.21 trillion naira by March 31, 2026. The Nigerian Exchange All Share Index (NGX ASI) also surged from 155,613 points at the 2025-end to a historic high of 201,287.78 points by the end of Q1 2026, representing a 29.35% gain within three months.

February 2026 alone delivered a market capitalisation gain of 17.6 trillion naira, the highest single-month increase ever recorded in the history of the African country’s stock market.

SEC said the market also demonstrated structural resilience, despite the extraordinary volume of fresh equity supply that was introduced through public offers and rights issues by banks.

“The Nigerian equity market demonstrated reasonable price discovery throughout the recapitalisation period,” it added.

While the NGX Banking Index declined in mid-2024, as investors priced in dilution risks from anticipated large rights issues, the sector later made a strong comeback as capital was successfully raised and market participants reassessed stronger balance sheets, before expanding the lending capacity of recapitalised institutions.

“The market’s ability to manage valuation complexities in real time reflected growing analytical sophistication among institutional investors, stronger broker research, wider analyst coverage, and improved real-time data systems,” the SEC stated.

Beyond the stock market rally, the banking recapitalisation created broader structural benefits across the African country’s capital market ecosystem.

According to the SEC, about 500,000 new investors participated in various bank public offers between 2024 and 2026, with many being first-time equity investors.

“A significant number of these investors were expected to remain active in the secondary market and future public offerings, thereby deepening market liquidity and broadening the investor base. The exercise rebuilt institutional capacity across investment banks, stock broking firms, registrars, custodians and issuing houses, which handled unprecedented transaction volumes during the recapitalisation process,” the commission remarked.

According to the SEC, Nigeria’s capital market mobilised 4.65 trillion naira over the 24-month recapitalisation period, proving the capabilities of Nigeria’s market infrastructure, investor community and regulatory framework, when it comes to supporting large-scale national transformation.

Director-General of SEC, Dr Emomotimi Agama, said the recapitalisation exercise should be seen not as an isolated success, but as the foundation for a stronger financial market capable of financing Nigeria’s long-term development.

“The recapitalisation has demonstrated that the Nigerian capital market is resilient. It is the Commission’s unwavering determination to ensure that resilience becomes transformation. The story of the 4.65 trillion naira raised should be remembered not as a peak achievement, but as the beginning of a more consequential era in which the capital market plays a central role in financing the nation’s future,” he concluded.

Artisanal mining has been a job generator on a global level, and in Africa, it often operates informally on or near company-run mines, hitting their profits, spreading pollution and depriving nations of revenue. To address this, the proposed “stakeholder prosperity bond,” according to Rob Karpati, Veridicor’s finance director, aims to professionalise artisanal mining.

The instrument will link investor returns to predefined social and environmental outcomes for workers, communities and host economies rather than output.

“The debut issuance would raise between USD 100 ‌million and USD 200 million by ⁠year-end to help ⁠Metalex Commodities integrate artisanal and small-scale miners through regulated offtake agreements as well as shared infrastructure and equipment investment,” Reuters reported.

“Potential investors include European sustainability bond funds, impact and ‌mining investors, banks and wealthy individuals focused on sustainability,” ⁠the firms said.

“Zambia, Africa’s second-largest copper producer, hosts tens of thousands of artisanal miners, including around Metalex’s northwestern permit. Large mines tend to be the anchor of these because it’s got to go on someone’s balance sheet,” Karpati said.

“They end up gaining financially because they get offtake from it, and the artisanal miners gain financially because it’s a fair price, not some predatory intermediate,” the official added.

“Industrial mines would sit at the centre of each bond structure to support repayment, while sustainability-linked terms would adjust interest rates based ‌on social and environmental performance,” Karpati remarked.

Metalex founder and chief executive Ayo Sopitan said the bond would allow the company to run large programmes that integrate artisanal miners into its supply chain.

“We plan to source around 30% of our ore from trained, licensed local miners. The bond lets us do that at a much ‌larger scale than our balance sheet alone would allow,” he said.

BRVM, a stock exchange headquartered in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, is a member of the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), apart from being a participant in the African Exchanges Linkage Project (AELP). It is also the world’s first fully integrated regional stock exchange, serving the eight member states of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU): Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo.

According to BRVM, “As global capital looks beyond traditional markets, the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) is fast emerging as a credible destination for diversified, growth-oriented investment. BRVM Investment Days brings together policymakers, issuers and investors, offering a clear view of capital markets and portfolio opportunities across the region. The BRVM enters 2026 on the back of sustained momentum. Over the past five years, the BRVM Composite Index has nearly doubled, rising by 99.15%, with a further 25.26% gain in 2025 despite global uncertainty. Market capitalisation has reached CFA 24,781 billion (approximately $40 billion), representing 18.37% of WAEMU GDP. Returns remain above 8% on equities and around 6% on bonds. WAEMU’s economic growth, estimated at 6.7% in 2025, combined with a reduction in budget deficits, creates a favourable macroeconomic environment. This stability, coupled with a dynamic and well-regulated financial market, offers US investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to one of Africa’s most promising regions.”

“The BRVM is no longer a frontier story — it is a market delivering consistent performance with expanding access. For investors looking beyond traditional markets, WAEMU offers a rare combination of growth, returns and increasing liquidity,” said Dr. Edoh Kossi Amenounve, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the BRVM.

He listed out recent developments around BRVM, including new listings like the Banque Internationale pour l’Industrie et le Commerce du Benin (BIIC), enhanced disclosure standards and the rollout of new instruments such as derivatives, ETFs and ESG-linked indices, that have consolidated the stock exchange’s already dominated position further. Sustainable finance is also gaining traction, with five green bond issuances raising close to CFA 170 billion.

Dr. Amenounve continued, “At the same time, the BRVM is expanding access through its participation in the African Exchanges Linkage Project (AELP), improving cross-border market access and broadening investor reach across African markets. BRVM Investment Days offers investors direct access to the institutions and issuers shaping the region’s markets. It is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals and see where capital can be best deployed with confidence.”

BRVM Investment Days 2026 will bring together institutional investors, investment advisors, corporate advisors, bankers, policymakers and market participants from across WAEMU and the diaspora. The previous successful editions in London, Paris, New York, Dubai and Johannesburg attracted over 100 investors and financiers (in each city).

The New York chapter will host prominent events such as a panel discussion on ’WAEMU Economic Outlook — Integration, Industrialisation & Investment Opportunities,’ which will cover the West African region’s macroeconomic outlook, fiscal and monetary frameworks, and investment priorities.

Also, banking executives will discuss their approach to sourcing capital for regional issuers, apart from outlining the sectors and types of securities presenting investment opportunities, and sharing their perspectives on how local capital markets are developing and becoming increasingly attractive to international investors.

Another panel discussion, titled ’Capital Markets & Financial Innovation — Green Finance & Infrastructure Instruments’, will explore emerging asset classes and financial instruments supporting infrastructure and sustainable investment across WAEMU. Speakers will discuss opportunities for international investors, including infrastructure financing vehicles, green finance instruments, and cross-border investment structures.

The entity has also issued Resolution No. 1 of 2026, amending its rulebook to incorporate provisions specific to bonds and sukuk, in addition to completing an integrated suite of operational and technical measures, including the introduction of a dedicated trading board for bonds and sukuk that is separate from equities.

“Trading sessions and price limits were structured to reflect the distinct nature of these instruments, differing from conventional equity trading mechanisms. Together, these measures represent a significant addition to the Kuwaiti capital market and constitute a pivotal step toward developing its investment environment and diversifying its instruments in line with international best practices,” said Boursa Kuwait.

“We are pleased to announce the completion of full operational and technical readiness for this phase, as system tests conducted by Boursa Kuwait and the capital market apparatus delivered successful results, confirming the trading infrastructure’s readiness. Boursa Kuwait is now fully equipped to receive listing applications and operate the bonds and sukuk trading platform, with instruments to be listed upon meeting the applicable regulatory requirements,” remarked the exchange’s CEO Mohammad Saud Al Osaimi.

Noting that investor confidence in Kuwait’s capital market is a trust the exchange is committed to upholding, Al Osaimi added, “What sets this phase apart is the introduction of new investment instruments at a time when the region is facing exceptional geopolitical challenges. This reflects the depth of investor confidence in Kuwait’s national economy and its capital market, underscoring the apparatus’s commitment to continued development despite these conditions.”

“We would also like to reassure all market participants that trading systems are operating at full efficiency, and that Boursa Kuwait is distinguished by a robust operational infrastructure that provides investors with the tools and environment needed to manage their portfolios with confidence,” he continued.

Resolution 38 establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework, covering the full lifecycle of bonds and sukuk in the Kuwaiti capital market, from listing and daily trading through to early redemption or maturity.

The new framework will further govern the listing of both domestic and foreign issuances, setting out ongoing obligations for issuers and obligors throughout the listing period and defining procedures for delisting and withdrawal, including mechanisms for the treatment of these instruments in relation to their exclusion from market indices.

The resolution’s regulatory amendments also align with five clear strategic objectives that reflect the long-term direction for the Kuwaiti capital market.

“These include aligning the Kuwaiti capital market’s regulatory framework with standards recognised in global capital markets, establishing a clear and structured approach to listing and trading that provides legal certainty for all stakeholders, and enhancing market liquidity through the introduction of a new class of tradable instruments. The amendments also aim to strengthen disclosure standards and transparency in a manner that serves investors’ interests and reinforces their confidence, while supporting greater diversification of investment instruments in the Kuwaiti market and reducing reliance on equities as the primary investment vehicle,” Boursa Kuwait added.

“For the first time ever, Kuwaiti and foreign companies can finance their operations and projects through the issuance of listed bonds or sukuk on Boursa Kuwait, benefiting from clear and viable financing advantages. The instruments allow issuers to secure funding at competitive costs compared to traditional bank borrowing and access a broader and more diversified investor base beyond conventional lenders,” it remarked.

Under the new framework, companies seeking listing in Boursa Kuwait must meet conditions designed to safeguard investor interests. These include obtaining a credit rating from a recognized rating agency, adhering to a minimum issuance value of no less than KD100,000 (USD 322,860) or its equivalent in foreign currencies, ensuring free tradability without restrictions and establishing a body to represent and protect the interests of bond or sukuk holders.

“Additionally, sukuk issuances must comply with the principles and rules of sharia,” Boursa Kuwait concluded.

The company also noted that despite the ongoing Middle East conflict, ADNOC L&S’ global operations have remained normal, as the business remains financially strong and fully operational across all divisions.

“ADNOC L&S continues to closely monitor the current operating environment and is working in coordination with relevant authorities and stakeholders to ensure the safety of its people and the continuity of its operations,” the company remarked in a media note.

Breaking down the key financial details, dividends for the first nine months of 2025 totalled USD 243.75 million (AED 859.3 million), with the third-quarter dividend already paid in December 2025. Subject to required approvals, the dividend will increase by 5% annually from 2026 to 2030, before being paid out quarterly.

“ADNOC L&S delivered record 2025 results, with EBITDA up 32% and net profit up 14% year-on-year, reflecting the ongoing transformation of the business into a global market leader, underpinned by a diversified, resilient business model and disciplined capital deployment. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s share price has increased by 195% since the IPO, strengthening investor trust in ADNOC L&S’ long-term strategy. Performance was driven by favourable market demand, strong operational execution, and continued expansion across core and growth segments. The integration of Navig8, an international shipping pool operator and commercial management company, was a milestone that strengthened and transformed the company’s capabilities across its logistics value chain,” the venture commented.

Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, Chairman of ADNOC L&S, said, “For shareholders, performance translated into tangible returns. Financial discipline remains central to our strategy, and this strength enables us to pursue value‑accretive growth while maintaining attractive and predictable shareholder returns. ADNOC Logistics & Services has built a global platform underpinned by a resilient business model anchored by long‑term contracts. Looking ahead, our diversified logistics capabilities and disciplined capital framework position the Company to deliver through cycles while supporting ADNOC’s expanding global ambitions.”

“ADNOC L&S continued to deliver its growth strategy built around service excellence and a safe and smart operational execution. Driven by organic growth and our acquisition of an 80% stake in Navig8, our robust balance sheet, prudent leverage policy and strong operating cash flows anchor our resilience. Our Value Efficiency Initiative, introduced in early 2025, delivered $119 million (AED 437 million) over the year, surpassing its original target by 19%. Our ongoing technology and AI-driven innovation, beyond increasing process efficiency across the business, is also delivering tangible service enhancements, creating additional value for ADNOC L&S and our customers,” said Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S.

Talking about the January 2025 acquisition of Navig8, an international shipping pool operator and commercial management company, which cost ADNOC L&S USD 999 million (AED 3.7 billion), the move resulted in the immediate integration of Navig8’s 32-vessel fleet, along with the adoption of the company’s advanced commercial and digital capabilities within ADNOC’s fold, significantly expanding its global footprint to 19 cities. The acquisition added commercial scale, strengthened ADNOC L&S’ revenue profile, and improved access to global energy and commodities flows.

“Navig8 provides the Company with a broader international platform for its next phase of growth. In 2025, ADNOC L&S also strengthened its fleet with the first two of a total order of nine Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLECs) and an additional four LNG carriers to generate long-term contracted revenue. On March 23, 2025, the company took delivery of the fifth of six new-build liquefied natural gas carriers from the Jiangnan Shipyard in China,” the venture remarked.

ADNOC L&S also secured long-term strategic partnerships, including a 50-year agreement with TA’ZIZ to develop the UAE’s first dedicated chemicals export port, projected to generate revenue flow of over USD 1.3 billion (AED 4.8 billion) in its first 27 years. A 15-year strategic agreement with Borouge further strengthens ADNOC L&S’ contracted revenue base in the domain of petrochemicals exports, with an estimated value of USD 531 million (AED 1.95 billion).

“With the continuous digitalisation of an increasing number of core business processes, ADNOC L&S has been leveraging AI, big data, and advanced digital platforms to drive service excellence, operational performance, and safety. Its AI-enabled Smart Port Solution reduced vessel turnaround time by up to 90% and cut service sourcing from three hours to 45 seconds, while enhancements to the Integrated Logistics Management System and Integrated Logistics Services Platform increased cargo capacity by up to 40% and improved vessel utilisation,” the business concluded.

The news also comes against the backdrop of rising oil prices fuelling inflation concerns and lifting expectations of further European Central Bank (ECB) rate hikes. While Iran has dismissed United States President Donald Trump’s talks of negotiations as “fake news,” reports claiming administration insiders as sources stated that Washington would continue its strikes against the Western Asian nation.

Talking about Bund yields, Germany’s 10-year government bond yield, ‌the euro area’s benchmark, ⁠dropped 0.5 ⁠basis points to 3.01%. A couple of days back, it reached 3.077%, its highest level since June 2011.

Money markets have fully priced ‌in two European Central Bank interest rate hikes ⁠by July 2026, along with a deposit facility rate at 2.65% by year-end. The ratio currently stands at 2%.

According to Reuters, Germany’s two-year yields, more sensitive to expectations for policy rates, were down 1.5 bps at 2.60%. They hit 2.764% the day before, their highest level since July 2024. Italy’s 10-year government bond yields fell one bp to 3.91%, after recently reaching 4.119%, their highest since July 2024.

The yield gap of ⁠Italian government bonds versus Bunds was at 85 bps. It was at 63 bps before the attacks against Iran and hit 53.50 in mid-January this year, its lowest level since August ‌2008. The French spread, on the other hand, was at 69 bps ⁠from 58 bps before the conflict.

Discussing the existing money market mood, Commerzbank rates strategist Hauke Siemssen said, “Markets look set to remain in sell-off mode as latest headlines out of the Middle East point to prolonged energy price increases.”

Goldman Sachs also expects the ECB to deliver two 25 basis point interest rate hikes in April and June 2026.

“At the April meeting, only a few data pointers for March will be available, which would render a potential hike a risk management exercise and a sign of commitment to stay ahead of the inflation curve. More hawkish-leaning council members seem in favour of an April hike, while centrist council members ‌should ultimately tip the balance,” Siemssen concluded.

Each award was presented following a structured and transparent evaluation process, highlighting the credibility of the recognition.

The diversity of the winners further demonstrated the global reach and relevance of the awards.

Beyond the accolades, the ceremony served as a powerful source of inspiration for peers and emerging leaders alike. The success stories shared throughout the evening illustrated how strategic thinking and strong governance can translate into long-term growth and meaningful impact.

Earlier, the inaugural segment of the awards was held on January 23, 2026, at Bangkok’s prestigious Waldorf Astoria. The event was honoured with the attendance of Mr. Arief Rachmat Hidayat, Counsellor at the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Bangkok, and Dr. Ekapong Rimcharoen, Director of Thailand’s National Statistical Office (NSO).

Trump has also made immigration tough, and the shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents has the whole nation on edge.

Amidst such developments, Suzanne Clark, the CEO of the US Chamber of Defence, urged corporate leaders to courageously defend free-market principles against expanding government intervention. Speaking in a dimmed ballroom, Clark emphasised that America must maintain its openness to global commerce, the exchange of talent, innovative ideas, and international trade partnerships.

While Clark avoided directly naming President Donald Trump or his specific policies, her remarks represented a subtle critique of the administration’s unprecedented interference in corporate affairs. The Republican has broken new ground in executive involvement with private business operations, taking positions in technology companies, dictating corporate equity arrangements, implementing sweeping tariffs, and pursuing immigration restrictions that the Chamber opposes.

Clark’s comments reflect a broader pattern emerging among American business leaders, including measured, careful criticism that stops short of confrontation. This cautious approach marks a significant shift from Donald Trump’s first presidential term, when executives were more willing to publicly break with the administration over controversial issues, including the president’s response to the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Selective Corporate Criticism

Several high-profile CEOs have recently voiced concerns about specific administration policies, though their objections remain narrowly focused on areas directly affecting their business interests. ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon both made headlines with tempered criticisms, but limited their remarks to Venezuela’s oil sector and Federal Reserve independence, respectively.

The muted nature of these responses has drawn criticism from governance experts and political observers. Richard Painter, a University of Minnesota law professor who served as chief ethics counsel under President George W. Bush, characterised the business community’s reaction as disappointingly weak.

He pointed to concerning developments, including immigration enforcement actions affecting US citizens in Minneapolis and Trump’s consideration of claiming Greenland, which could potentially isolate American companies from European markets.

Painter noted the stark contrast between the current administration’s authoritarian tendencies and Bush’s commitment to free-market economics. He emphasised that business leaders need to take a stronger stance against governmental coercion, regardless of whether it targets street protesters or corporate executives who resist presidential pressure.

Mark Levine, New York City’s Comptroller, overseeing substantial public pension fund investments in major US corporations, echoed these concerns. He characterised CEO responses as merely “baby steps,” with executives speaking up only when Trump’s actions directly threaten their bottom lines. Levine warned that capitalism cannot function properly if presidents with autocratic inclinations dictate corporate behaviour across American industry.

The Chamber’s Defence

Responding to criticism, a Chamber spokesperson referenced Clark’s media briefing, where she stated the organisation’s opposition to government intervention in business regardless of partisan source. Clark suggested that CEOs have been engaging in “quiet work” behind the scenes to promote sound public policy, avoiding what she termed a “rush to outrage.”

This approach aligns with the Chamber’s strategic positioning. In August 2025, the organisation’s chief policy officer, Neil Bradley, indicated that the group intended to respond to Trump in a nonpartisan manner to preserve broader support for free-market principles.

Presidential Pushback And Economic Perceptions

The public’s perception of Trump’s economic success contradicts his claims. He presently has a 36% approval rating on economic issues, which is lower than his 41% approval rating overall. Despite Trump’s claims that his policies have produced explosive growth, soaring productivity, booming investment, rising earnings, and conquered inflation, this mismatch still exists.

When CEOs have dared to question his approach, Trump has responded swiftly and sharply. After Woods expressed scepticism about Venezuela as an investment destination, calling it “uninvestable,” Trump threatened to exclude Exxon from future deals in the country, criticising the company for “playing too cute.” Similarly, when Dimon defended Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s independence following a criminal investigation into Powell’s conduct, Trump dismissed the CEO’s concerns outright.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla also voiced frustration over Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s efforts to roll back childhood vaccine recommendations, calling the moves scientifically baseless. However, representatives from Exxon, JPMorgan, and Pfizer all declined to provide additional comments for this story.

A Climate Of Uncertainty

The dread that permeates business boardrooms is highlighted by recent surveys. According to the Conference Board’s most recent study, uncertainty will be the biggest risk factor for American CEOs in 2026. Chief economist Dana Peterson pointed out that executives are aware that the lobbying environment has drastically changed, even if the study did not specifically address Trump.

According to Gary Clyde Hufbauer, a senior scholar at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, CEOs might be carefully calibrating their public remarks to prevent reprisals while positioning their businesses to profit from Trump’s aims and policies. He cautioned, though, that this laissez-faire strategy might backfire and lead to even more stringent regulations after Trump leaves office.

Executives may see the current interventionist policies as transient anomalies, according to Hufbauer. However, he warned that since state capitalism appeals to both progressive Democrats and some MAGA Republicans, investors and business executives may be dangerously complacent about long-term defence of free-market values.

The conflict between corporate America and the Trump administration raises important issues regarding the balance between private industry and governmental authority, as business executives must balance safeguarding their own interests with upholding more general economic liberties.
