Nigerian Exchange Group Plc and its partners are expanding cross-border investment initiatives across African capital markets, focusing on collaborations in Cairo, Egypt, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The initiative also underscores the role of instruments like Egyptian Depositary Receipts in connecting Egyptian investors with African businesses.
