INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND TO THE
STUDY
The rate of economic development of any
nation is inextricably liked to the sophistication of its financial markets.
Financial markets assist the nation of
the world to give the needed financial resources and skills for growth and
development.
Apart from promoting a sound and
efficient payments mechanism, the financial intimidation.
The financial market is an
institutional arrangement that facilities the intermediation of funds in an
economy. By financial intermediation, it
means mobilization of financial resources from surplus spending units and the
channeling of such to deficit spending units and the channeling of such funds
to deficit spending units for production investment and the generation of
assets or securities in the process.
Thus the financial system generates a
wide range of financial instruments (assets), which are means of transferring
purchasing power and are tailored to suit the time preferences of both lenders
and borrowers.
The financial market performs an
economic function by facilitating the transfer of real economic resources from
the lenders to the borrowers. By the
inducement of interest income, the market facilitates the transference of
purchasing power from the lender to the investor who wishes to exercise demand
over resources.
When the financial market is efficient,
funds flow freely and rapidly among its various sources and uses. As long as financial instrument remains
substitutable for each other, changes in supply and demand in the money market
have a rapid over effect into the capital market.
Financial markets are therefore constitutional
whenever participants with aid of infrastructure technology and over devises
facilitates the mobilization and channeling of funds into productive
investments. The importance of the
financial market lies in financial intermediation to link the deficit sector
with the surplus of the economy. In the
intermediation process, financial intermediaries engage principally in matching
lenders and borrowers. They bring savers
and borrowers together by selling debt instruments or securities and deposits
to savers for money and lending that money to borrowers. As a result, the lenders of investors receive
claims on investment, which have stable market value and high liquidity.
Financial intermediation does not
ensure from direct lending and borrowing process but arises from the lending-borrowing
proves, which involves the generation and exchange of debt instrument or
securities. The point of emphasis
therefore is the financial intermediaries use their own liabilities to create
additional assets, help mobilize funds, gather together to reap economics of
scale and minimize the investors.
The financial markets system features a
wide array of banking and non-banking financial intermediaries. The banking sub-sector of the system
comprises Commercial and Merchant Banks, Development Bank and Central Bank, as
the Apex institution.
The non-bank financial institution
sub-sector includes a wide range of organizations operating as regulators,
facilitators and investors. The list
includes the Securities and Exchange Commission Market in Nigeria, to assess
its impacts on Nigeria economy. In order
to achieve its major (SEC), the Stock Exchange, Stockbrokers, Regioners,
Insurance companies, Pensions and Provident funds and Investment Companies.
The financial market is really
segmented into two major markets, which are:
i.
Money
Market
ii.
Capital
Market
The money market is the market for
short-term funds an securities including treasury bills, treasury certificates
negotiable certificates of deposits, commercial paper and other funds of less
than one year duration on the other hand, the capital market is the market for
long-term funds and securities whose
tenure extends beyond one year. These
include long-term loans, mortgage, bond, preference share, ordinary shares,
federal government bonds and industrial loans.
The capital market is a complex
institution and mechanism through which intermediate and long run funds are
made available to government, business (firm) and individuals. The capital market therefore is an instrumental
arrangement that performs the function of mobilizing private and public savings
from surplus spending units and channeling them to the deficit units for the
production of goods and services. Unlike
the many money market which primarily exist as a means of liquidity adjustment,
the capital market provides a bridge of transforming saving into long term
investment by using equity bonds, debentures, mortgages and investment stocks
to facilitate intermediation.
The market makes it possible for
private and public sectors of the economy to rise long-term capital to execute
government development programmes and from the expansion and modernization of
the private business to enhance outputs, employment and income. The capital market is often described as an
important part of country’s economy, which is indispensable to economy growth
and development. In short, it is a place
where nation’s wealth is bough.
The capital market itself is composed
of:
i.
Primary
Market
ii.
Secondary
Market
Operators in the market include
Merchant Banks, Stock broking Firms, Issuing Houses, Development Finance
Companies, the Central Bank, Securities and Exchange Commission and the Stock
Exchange. With this background; this
project attempts to review broad outline the extinction of the Nigerian Capital
market, its functions, growth and development with emphasis on the period and
challenge for the future especially in the lights of the liberalized trade and
exchange regimes adopted under the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP).
