The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded plans to host the 2019 edition of Budget Seminar.

The seminar which holds at the Eko Hotels and Suites Victoria Island in Lagos will bring together experts with professional, policy and academic background in order to deliberate extensively on the implication of the budget to the capital market in Nigeria.

The seminar with the theme Budgets, Elections and Capital Markets: Risks and Opportunities in 2019” will look at ways that the capital market can contribute more meaningfully to the growth and recovery process the budget is intended to promote.

According to a statement by the capital market regulator, the Budget Seminar Series by the scheduled for next Tuesday was “established as a forum for evaluating the connection between the Nigerian capital market and the annual Federal Government Budget. A major aim is to identify how the capital market can contribute to and in turn benefit from the budget and its implementation.

“The Commission as the host of this event, gathers subject matter experts with incisive knowledge and experience on various economic activities to deliberate extensively, with the aim of enlightening participants on the area of focus for the seminar. In addition to the learning of the day, which will equip participants, a communique will be drafted and forwarded as the capital market inputs to the appropriate government and private institutions,” SEC said.
