CIS Academy projects strong capital market performance in 2026
The Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers Academy has said the capital market is poised to extend its rally in 2026, supported by strong 2025 gains and improving macroeconomic conditions.
Its general manager, Adekunle Adewale, said this during the WorldStage Nigeria Macroeconomic Forum on Thursday in Lagos.
He said that the market’s outlook remained upbeat after posting over 150 per cent growth in 2025.
“We expect that with what was achieved in 2025 and the ongoing economic developments, the capital market will do well in 2026,” he said.
He linked the optimism to ongoing reforms and expectations of a trillion-dollar economy, but cautioned over early-year concerns around Exchange Traded Funds and market practices.
“In the first three months of the year, we observed several issues around ETF practices and the stock market,” he said.
According to Mr Adewale, the academy is responding with targeted training programmes to address gaps and strengthen investor participation, with sessions scheduled to begin early in the year.
“As a result, we are putting together training programmes for stakeholders to help them better understand and leverage market opportunities,” he said.
