NGX Group market capitalisation soars 37.7% to N141.75tn
The Nigerian Exchange Group has recorded a 37.7 per cent growth in market capitalisation, rising to N141.75tn as of September 2025 from N102.94tn in the same period of 2024.
This performance reflects growing investor confidence and the Group’s continued focus on innovation, technology, and sustainability under the leadership of its Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Temi Popoola, who said the growth demonstrates that the strength of Nigeria’s capital markets cannot be separated from the strength of the communities they serve.
“For us at NGX Group, building strong capital markets goes hand in hand with building strong communities, because inclusive growth and social well-being are the true foundations of a resilient economy,” he said.
In line with this vision, NGX Group has deepened its commitment to social impact through its flagship initiative, Project BLOOM (Bringing Life to Our Overlooked Minors). The programme, implemented in partnership with the Lagos State Government and the Health Emergency Initiative, has reached over 200 children and 180 caregivers in underserved communities like Ajegunle and Yaba, providing therapeutic food, medical care, and nutrition education.
The Group also continues to drive market inclusivity through digital innovation. Its e-offering platform, NGX Invest, has enabled corporates to raise over N2tn in capital, making public offers and rights issues more accessible to retail investors nationwide.
Beyond social and digital transformation, NGX Group has advanced its sustainability agenda through the Nzero initiative, which helps listed companies measure, report, and reduce carbon emissions in line with global sustainability standards.
Popoola noted that the Group’s focus on environmental, social, and governance principles has strengthened market transparency and long-term investor confidence.
He said, “Our vision is to create markets that thrive in harmony with society and the environment. We are judged not just by the wealth we help create but by how widely that wealth is shared and how sustainably it is generated.”
The NGX boss added that through initiatives like Project BLOOM and NGX Invest, the Group aims to bridge the gap between market performance and social development, reinforcing its position as both a driver of capital formation and a catalyst for community transformation.
