The Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group) has commended the German Government and its development finance institution, Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG), for their strong and consistent commitment to promoting impact investing in Nigeria.

The praise comes as NGX Group aims to bolster partnerships that will drive sustainable development with a particular emphasis on climate action and environmental responsibility.

Temi Popoola, the group managing director of NGX, expressed these sentiments during the DEG impact investing dialogue held on Tuesday in Lagos.

He highlighted DEG’s vital role, as a subsidiary of KfW Bank, in fostering sustainable finance in Nigeria and strengthening investor confidence in the country’s economy.
According to Popoola, DEG and its counterparts in the German private sector have demonstrated their firm dedication to Nigeria by not only maintaining their investments but also expanding them through local financial institutions.

He remarked, “DEG, along with its counterparts in the German private sector, has demonstrated steadfast dedication to Nigeria by maintaining their investments and also by expanding them through local financial institutions.”

This long-term commitment has played a role in deepening sustainable finance in Nigeria, contributing to the country’s broader economic stability and growth.
Popoola also pointed out the collaborative framework that has been established between NGX Group and DEG, which is focused on data sharing and aggregation concerning carbon emissions and Nigeria’s transition towards a greener, more sustainable economy.

He explained that this initiative is designed to bring together corporate entities across Nigeria and promote greater transparency in their sustainability practices, while also providing guidance on transitioning to sustainable business models in alignment with globally recognized environmental standards.

The framework between NGX Group and DEG, he noted, aims to elevate the level of corporate transparency regarding sustainability practices across Nigeria.

This collaboration seeks to encourage companies to adopt and adhere to international sustainability standards, which would not only enhance their corporate responsibility but also contribute to Nigeria’s leadership in sustainable finance across the African continent.

Mr. Popoola emphasized the relevance of this initiative in positioning Nigeria as a key player in Africa’s sustainable finance landscape.

He stated, “Our joint efforts will not only increase corporate transparency but also ensure compliance with global sustainability standards, positioning Nigeria as a leader in sustainable finance across Africa.”

By doing so, the NGX Group and DEG hope to guide Nigerian companies on a path toward a sustainable future, addressing critical global challenges such as climate change and environmental degradation.

NGX Group’s partnership with DEG represents a strategic effort to strengthen Nigeria’s financial infrastructure in a way that prioritizes sustainability and climate action.

By focusing on transparency and compliance with global standards, the NGX Group aims to foster a more responsible and resilient economy, setting an example for sustainable finance practices across the African continent.

Through this collaboration, Nigeria has the potential to emerge as a leader in sustainable finance, paving the way for a greener, more environmentally conscious future.
