SEC targets bond market to finance $3.9 trn infrastructure deficit
The Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC has said that it wants a bond market that will be capable of financing the $3.9 trillion infrastructure deficits facing the country in the next 30 years. The Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, Ms Arunma Oteh, who stated this at the 4th Capital Market Committee retreat held in Abuja said” The bond market has a lot of room for growth with debt-to-GDP ratio at only 11 percent compared to over 200 percent in Japan, 110 percent in Singapore, 103 percent in the United Kingdom, 103 percent in the United States (US) and over 60 percent in China.
