The Nigerian Stock Exchange hosted its maiden market data workshop last Tuesday, 18 October, 2016 at the Civic Center Victoria Island Lagos. The workshop was organized to create more awareness on the critical role of market data in making sound investment decisions both on the buy and sell sides.
In attendance at the event included investors, exchanges, regulators, students, government agencies, dealing members, researchers, telecommunication companies and professionals from different walks of life. Throughout the workshop, participants were provided with sufficient knowledge about exploiting NSE market data for smart investment decisions.
Amongst other things, the Nigerian Stock Exchange urged attendees to leverage on mobile technologies to keep market data at their fingertips as well as carry out transactions while on the go.
