The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Ltd. has announced that the 2021 edition of its annual Factbook (X-FactBook) would be released on Aug. 26 in digital-only version after 41 years in print.
The Chief Executive Officer, NGX, Mr Temi Popoola, said this in a statement said individuals and institutions interested in X-FactBook now have the option of either subscribing to the complete X-FactBook or just the section of interest.
He explained that while modular purchase allowed readers to access a specific sector of the economy as applicable at a cost ranging from N2,000 to N3,000; the complete e-book provided a compendium of all sectors at a cost of N5,000.
Popoola said: “At NGX, we are dedicated to developing and improving the digital experience for our stakeholders.
“The transformation of X-FactBook from print to digital aligns with our commitment to providing and enhancing access to quality market information.
“With the current climate where companies and individuals have transitioned to a more digitally-inclined mode of working and accessing information, it is fitting that we are introducing our first online Factbook at this time.
“We believe that X-FactBook will serve to complement other platforms for accessing information at NGX,” he said.
Popoola also stated that the digital X-FactBook, available for purchase at https://xfactbook.ngxgroup.com, presented a completely new way for users to conveniently access comprehensive and diverse information on the Nigerian capital market.
On his part, the Divisional Head, Trading Business, Mr Jude Chiemeka said: “In operating as a demutualised entity, we continue to prioritise the timely provision of quality market information to support the investment process.
“That is why this foremost post-demutualisation edition of X-Factbook has been made easily accessible to investors across the globe to showcase the existing and potential opportunities in the Nigerian capital market.
“We are confident that this edition of X-Factbook will be an invaluable resource to the investing community and will continue to promote investor education in our market.”
Leveraging digital technology for ease of access, X-FactBook provides investors, researchers, media and other capital market stakeholders with desired insights into the operations of the Nigerian capital market, including listed securities.
