With index data available as of January 1, 2007, the Nigerian Stock Exchange started releasing the NGX 30 Index in February 2009. Five sectoral indices with a base value of 1,000 points were created by the NGX on July 1, 2008, with the goal of offering investable benchmarks to reflect the performance of particular sectors.
The top fifteen most liquid and capitalized companies in the insurance and consumer goods sectors are included in the sectoral indices, along with the top ten most liquid and capitalized firms in the banking and industrial goods sectors and the top seven most liquid and capitalized firms in the oil and gas industry.
