Introduction
These guidelines set out the market operations standards for the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) bond market. The
participants of this market, being the Debt Management Office (DMO)-licensed Primary Dealer/Market Makers (PDMMs)(comprised
of banks, discount houses and merchant bank)and the FMDQ-approved Market Makers (which are mostly banks) have chosen to
deal on the FMDQ OTC securities exchange.
This document contains existing regulations and rules from DMO, Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) and Financial Markets Dealers Association (FMDA) which are being adopted as FMDQ preliminary rules. For the purpose of
these guidelines, the DMO licenced Primary Dealer Market Makers (PDMMs) and FMDQ-approved Market Makers will be referred to
as trading members. The Exchange intends to re-work some parts of these rules after its launch.
These rules will provide a reference for market practices relevant to the Nigerian operating and regulatory environment. They shall
be binding on all FMDQ trading members who shall subscribe to them in their bond trading activities.
Control of the activities of all personnel engaged in dealing (both dealers and support staff in sales, market risk, operations,
compliance, internal control and audit functions) is the responsibility of the management of such organisations. These rules are
therefore addressed, not only to dealers, but also to the management and to relevant operational support staff. Management
should clearly set out in writing, the authorities and responsibilities within which dealing and support staff should operate. These
might include:
General dealing policy including reporting procedures Persons authorised to deal Products to be dealt in Risk management (counterparty, position and stop-loss limits etc.) and internal controls Confirmation and settlement procedures Relationships with member firms Other relevant guidelines as considered appropriate

Management should also ensure that individual dealers are aware of their responsibilities to act professionally at all times,
understand and operate within the legal & regulatory requirements applicable to the transactions they undertake.
Currently, the FGN bonds are being traded on two-way quote basis. Whilst, rump stock bonds trade on one-way quote basis,
indicative prices are provided for illiquid FGN bonds in the Nigerian Inter-bank OTC market.
Two-Way QuoteThe two-way quote dealing system is a system where a dealer gives both binding buying (bid) and selling (offer) prices on the
same quote. This means the dealer is willing to buy at his bid and sell at his offer if the counterparty so pleases.
Benefits of the Two-Way Quote Trading System Liquidity Price Discovery Market Depth Transparency International best practices Efficient and vibrant secondary marketIndicative Price
An indicative price is provided by trading members for the rump stock and short-dated bonds.FGN bonds that have less thanN30bn in issue are regarded as rump stock bonds whilst short-dated FGN bonds have less than one year term to maturity.Although, trading members are not obligated to trade at the indicative prices, they may serve as a reasonable estimate of the priceat which trading members can start their bond trading activities.
