Abstract
This study was conducted to identify the sources of capital and the cost of packaging those
funds in the Nigerian Capital Market. It examined the institutional framework for
packaging capital and debt issues, highlighted the role of financial intermediaries and some
recent development in the Nigerian Capital Market.
To determine the cost of raising funds in the Nigerian Capital Market, data were collected
by the administration of questionnaires, in addition, personal interviews were held with
The Nigerian Stock Exchange officials, The Securities and Exchange Commission, Chief
Executives of Issuing Houses and Stock broking Finns, Accountants, Lawyers. Journals
of the Central Bank of Nigeria as well as Seminar and Workshop papers and textbooks
written by scholars and renowned authors were consulted.
The study revealed that the Nigerian money market is well developed and accessed easily
by fund raisers. The cost of funds in the capital market was established to average 10%,
while it may cost a company up to 20% to raise funds in the market. This cost was found
to be high and discouraged small and medium scale enterprises.
It is suggested that as a way of reducing the cost of raising funds in the capital market, the
Regulatory authorities should review downwards then registration and listing fees. It is
further suggested that more stock broking and issuing houses should be licensed and the
stringent condition attached for granting quotation on the Stock Exchange should be
reviewed. Issuers of securities should make use of competitive bidding to select
intermediaries and market operators.
