Nigerian stockbrokers under the aegis of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers have resolved to key into the rapid changes in technology and product innovation, that are fast characterising the global financial market, in order to position themselves for enhanced professionalism .

The stockbrokers, who are gearing up for the Silver Jubilee of the CIS, also endorsed privatisation of moribund enterprises as a way of boosting their efficiency and attracting private sector participation.

Addressing journalists on this year’s annual conference of stockbrokers, scheduled for November 16 and 17, 2017, the Chairman, Annual Conference Committee, Mrs. Lilian Olubi, explained that the conference had been put together to help deepen the market and expand the professional knowledge of the dealing members.

She said, “As one of the most prestigious professional bodies in the Nigerian financial industry, we have, again, sought to elevate the all-important debate of financial market development at our conference, with the aim of charting a course forward on policy alternatives.

“This is reflected in our theme for this year’s edition titled, ‘Adapting to Dynamic Changes in the Financial Market’. Our choice of this year’s theme was informed by the marked rapid pace of innovations in the economy and capital markets, which require operators – both dealing members and the investing public to keep abreast of these developments in order to make informed choices.”
