Background of the Study
Financial institutions play a pivotal role in the development of capital markets by mobilizing savings, providing credit, and offering investment advisory services. In Nigeria, banks such as Stanbic IBTC facilitate market growth by underwriting securities, managing assets, and enhancing market liquidity (Nwosu, 2023).
The Nigerian capital market serves as a platform for long-term funding for businesses and government projects. However, limited participation and underutilization hinder its potential. By supporting market infrastructure and investor education, financial institutions can bridge the gap between savings and investments, fostering economic growth.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the critical role of financial institutions, Nigeria's capital market remains underdeveloped compared to global standards. Challenges such as inadequate investor participation, poor market infrastructure, and regulatory bottlenecks persist (Obi, 2024).
While Stanbic IBTC has made significant contributions, the extent of its impact on promoting investment in the capital market requires further examination. Addressing this gap can guide financial institutions in enhancing their roles effectively.
Objectives of the Study
- To examine the role of financial institutions in promoting investment in Nigerian capital markets.
- To assess the specific contributions of Stanbic IBTC to capital market development.
- To recommend strategies for financial institutions to enhance investment promotion in Nigeria.
Research Questions
- What is the role of financial institutions in promoting investment in Nigerian capital markets?
- How has Stanbic IBTC contributed to the development of Nigeria's capital market?
- What strategies can financial institutions adopt to enhance investment promotion?
Research Hypotheses
- Financial institutions significantly influence investment promotion in Nigerian capital markets.
- Stanbic IBTC's contributions positively impact capital market growth in Nigeria.
- Improved strategies by financial institutions can enhance capital market investments.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on the role of financial institutions in the Nigerian capital market, with a case study of Stanbic IBTC, covering the period from 2023 to 2025. Limitations include data availability and external economic factors affecting market trends.
