The Nigerian Exchange (NGX) postponed the implementation of its revised equity pricing methodology. The new framework was originally scheduled to take effect on Monday, August 17, 2026.
Officials announced the delay one day before the scheduled launch. The exchange cited the need for further stakeholder engagement as the primary reason for the postponement.
The proposed rules introduce tiered minimum trading volumes to trigger stock price movements. Stocks priced at N1,000 or more would require a minimum trade of 10,000 shares to change price.
The NGX confirmed the rollout is postponed rather than canceled. A new implementation date will be announced in the future.
