Nigeria to list dollar assets on stock market
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Nigeria was set to list dollar assets on the stock market in a bid to ease forex problems.
Temi Popoola, the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Exchange Ltd., said the company targets businesses that are based in the nation's special economic free trade zones and those that generate foreign cash.
Popoola was unable to provide a timeframe for when the suggestions may be put into action but noted that the government has demonstrated a strong interest in broad market changes.
