The Nigerian stock market in the year 2020 will certainly go down in the history books as one of the most challenging years of modern existence.
However, the Nigerian Stock Exchange, NSE during the year under review overwhelmed the storm through innovation and technology as value of listed securities hit N1.72 trillion.
Early in the year, a global pandemic took the world by storm necessitating a significant change in life and work as we know it.
On 23 and 24 March 2020, the Exchange took steps to preserve the health and safety of its stakeholders by activating its Business Continuity plan which saw the transition to working from home and remote trading in response to the spread of the Coronavirus, COVID-19. Since then, the Exchange has maintained seamless working and trading operations, experiencing zero down time.
