3 Click Executive to edit Summary Master title style As a part of Federal Government of Nigeria s (FGN) goal to transform Nigeria into a competitive global economic force, there are several initiatives and legislation underway to support the Nigerian Vision The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) is in full support of the FGNs transformational agenda and has dedicated the appropriate resources to assist the government Over the past two years, the NSE has been effective in managing advocacy initiatives, with the recent execution of the remove of VAT and Stamp Duties from market transactions. We have also been successful at providing margin debt relief to the stock broker community, working with several arms of the FGN As Nigeria considers the implementation of the Nigerian International Financial Centre (NIFC) and the Office of the Nigeria Financial Ombudsman legislations, the NSE can bring to bear its expertise and global network in ensuring seamless implementation It is important to note that IFC economies have grown very rapidly in the period since 1980, with average per capita annual growth rates of 3.3 percent, compared to 1.4 percent globally. As it relates to Ombudsman efforts, there are over 80 countries globally who have implemented and realized the value of this role The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate how the NSE can play a vital role in the legislative and implementation process by: Providing an overview of our understanding of the proposed legislation Reviewing international trends in international financial centres (IFC) and ombudsman platforms Detailing the importance of the proposed legislation to the Nigerian economy Stating the advantages and disadvantages of each bill Highlighting how we can assist in achieving the Vision 24-July-2013 The Nigerian Stock Exchange 3

7 Click Case to Studies: edit Master Global title Ombudsman style Platforms Worldwide effort of Ombudsman Representation has strengthened Economic Development Emerging Market Examples Brazil: Hearing Officer usually heading a service called Ouvidoria acts in the Ombudsman role for Brazil, whereby each government agency defines its own service Russia: The Commissioner is appointed for a fixed term by the Parliament. The ombudsman cannot be dismissed before the end of his term, and is not subordinate to any body of power, including the President or the Government India: Designates several ombudsmen for the redress of grievances and complaints from individuals in the banking, insurance and other sectors. China: The China Ombudsman listens, discusses, answers questions, provides information, and identifies options and strategies for resolving a conflict situation Africa Examples Kenya: The Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) was established by the Commission on Administrative Justice Act South Africa: The Public Protector is an office established by the Constitution of South Africa. Its mandate to guard democracy, similar to the office of ombudsman in other countries There are over 80 countries around the world with Ombudsman offices, evident of the importance of the role in financial expansion and growth 24-Julyl-2013 The Nigerian Stock Exchange 7
8 Click Importance to edit of Master IFC to title Nigeria style INCENTIVE Change in Global Corporate Recognition Structure DESCRIPTION Nigeria to be recognized as a global financial market with legislation and an investment structures on par with other leading economies Financial inclusion (amongst international investing community) to drive expansion of capital market from an asset class (i.e. derivatives) and service offering perspective (i.e. hedge funds) Economic Development Change in governance Job Creation Academic research confirms that when financial sectors are more developed, economies grow faster, and that the greater development of the finance sector is a key cause Increase trending in FDI/FPI; increase tax revenues; and enhanced government funding options vis-à-vis the international bond market In addition to the employment opportunities created working for banks, insurance companies, intermediaries, hedge funds, etc., there are also jobs created working for related companies such as law firms, accountants, IT suppliers as well as the informal sector As an example, the wholesale finance sector contributed 1.36 million jobs across the EU in 2008 Growth of Tourism Industry The global tourism industry is worth an estimated $1.15 trillion in 2012, with revenue rising at an annualized 1.5% over the past five years IFCs in countries that cater to the tourism industry, such as Dubai and Hong Kong, can take advantage of tourism revenues thereby increasing fiscal income 24-July-2013 The Nigerian Stock Exchange 8
9 Ombudsman: Click to edit Master Improving title style our Global Perception Nigeria currently ranks 139 out of 174 nations in Transparency International s 2012 Corruption Perception Index Factors contributing to this poor ranking include, amongst other things (a) poor transparency in regards to public spending and contracting, (b) poor anti-money laundering rules, and (c) overall lack of accountability in the nation The implementation of the Office of Nigerian Financial Ombudsman creates an opportunity for an extra layer of transparency and independence, in addition to initiatives that the FGN is already pursuing to root our corruption and fraud in the country The Office of the Nigerian Financial Ombudsman can deal with items such as complaints from consumers about various financial matters including, banking, insurance, mortgages, pensions, savings and investments, credit cards, loans and credit, financial advice, stocks, shares, unit trusts and bonds Nigeria can leverage on global best practices from its peers in Africa or other developed/emerging markets to ensure the appropriate framework for independence is established For example, the Financial Ombudsman Service in the UK is funded by the UK's financial services sector through a combination of statutory levies and case fees (as compared to funding from a Gov t agency); Fees are paid by financial businesses that are regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) or licensed by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and are automatically covered by law by the ombudsman service 24-July-2013 The Nigerian Stock Exchange 9
