I ABSTRACT Stochastic Models in Financial Market Analysis: A Case Study of the Nigerian Stock Market (NSM) This research uses suitable stochastic models typically encountered in empirical and quantitative financial economics to analyse stock market data from the Nigerian Stock Market (NSM), in light of a) possible changes in the policy environments as result of the 2004 financial reforms by the then Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, b) effects or otherwise of the 2008-09 global financial crises on the Nigerian financial system, and c) more technical issues underpinning performance of financial markets for example market efficiency, anomalies, bubbles, volatilities and their implications for investment decisions, stock market development and financial policy. There are substantial differences in the operation and characteristics of developed, emerging and pre-emerging (African) financial markets in terms of the above mentioned issues. Sometimes as part of general discussion of results we comment on the extent to which the characteristics of the NSM differ from known results in developed markets. A wide range of financial econometric methods and models including multivariate regression, Goodness of fit tests, Runs, Autocorrelation Function, Variance Ratio, Autoregressive tests, and discrete log logistic and GARCH-type models are applied. Both the All Share index and return data for 2000 to 2010 are used in this study. The time series data are divided into two periods namely pre-reforms (2000-2004) and post­ reforms (2005-2010). This study provides both investors and researchers in emerging African markets with a clear understanding of key financial characteristics of the NSM. Some useful results were obtained. Key characteristics of the NSM analysed in terms of market index prices and returns reveal evidence of market inefficiency and volatility. The data do not provide evidence of bubbles and anomalies in the NSM. This study, according to the author’s best knowledge, is possibly the most comprehensive combined study of crucial issues affecting the NSM including volatility, anomalies, bubbles and market efficiency. However, some other issues are excluded from the study because of the limitations of the data for example valuations and predictability, which are more suitably studied within specific companies and market sectors.

  • An Overview of Corporate Governance Practice in Companies Listed on the Libyan Stock Market
    Athens Journal of Business & Economics – Volume 7, Issue 3, July 2021 –Pages 287-304 An Overview of Corporate Governance Practice in Companies Listed on the Libyan Stock Market By Salem Amara The corporate governance concept has recently become a major issue in the corporate practices of both developed and developing countries alike. Corporate governance is considered to be a tremendously important topic in many countries around the world; specifically within the emerging stock markets in order to protect the minority of shareholders. The aim of this research is to investigate corporate governance practices in companies listed on the Libyan stock exchange. In particular, to investigate whether corporate governance practices in these companies meet international standards of corporate governance and to identify the main obstacles to implementing them. The concept of corporate governance, corporate governance practices in developing countries, the Libyan stock market and OECD principles of corporate governance were discussed. A close-ended questionnaire was the main method for data collection. 100 questionnaires were distributed to the participants of the study, and only 76 questionnaires usable for analysis were received. Several issues related to corporate governance, depending on OCED principles, were investigated. The results revealed that corporate governance practice in the companies under investigation fit with OCED principles of corporate governance in some aspects and do not fit in others. Furthermore, the most important obstacles were perceived impeding corporate governance practice in companies listed in the Libyan stock market are "lack of compliance with the laws governing the work of companies" and "high cost of applying corporate governance rules". (JEL G30) Keywords: Corporate governance, the Libyan stock exchange, developing countries, OCED principles of corporate governance Introduction Corporate governance is not merely the governing of a certain form of organization "a corporation", but also has a broader meaning.

Introduction Econophysics, which emerged over a decade ago, applies various models and concepts imported from condensed matter and statistical physics to analyze economic and financial phenomena. This new field of research has generated a lot of methodological debate [1–5]. It is often presented as a positivist discipline [6,7] that provides a more empirical basis to economics [8–10]. Despite the novelty of this new approach, more and more papers about econophysics have been published in journals devoted to Physics and Statistical Mechanics.

  • Libya's Transformation to an Islamic Financial System: Issues And
    R M B www.irmbrjournal.com September 2017 R International Review of Management and Business Research Vol. 6 Issue.3 I Libya’s Transformation to an Islamic Financial System: Issues and Challenges MOHAMED A. M. ABDELRAHIM EL-BRASSI Ph.D, Candidate, IIUM Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance, International Islamic University, Malaysia Email: [email protected] NABIL BELLO Ph.D, Candidate, IIUM Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance, International Islamic University, Malaysia Email: [email protected] SYED MUSA ALHABSHI Associate Professor, IIUM Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance, International Islamic University, Malaysia Email: [email protected] Abstract The Libya’s revolutionary government after the Gaddafi regime legislated the prohibition of all dealings that involve interest (riba). Commercial banks were then obliged to convert to Islamic banking from January 1, 2015. This law was practically difficult to implement, which led to the extension of its implementation until 2020. This paper traces the origin of this transformation process right from the independence of Libya in 1951 to identify the motives, obstacles and underlying issues in the transformation process to Islamic banking. There is still no full-fledged Islamic bank operating in Libya because of these problems. Some of the key problems include inadequacy of a framework for Islamic banking and lack of skilled manpower in Libyan banks regarding Islamic banking products. Other problems are lack of knowledge about the theory and practice of Islamic banking among stakeholders and their unawareness and negative perceptions on Islamic banking system. The banks in Libya are also not willing to set strategies that will aid in a successful conversion due to resistance to change attitude especially among bank managers.

  • Guide on Related Party Transactions in the MENA Region
    Guide on Related Party Transactions in the MENA Region Foreword The regulatory treatment of related party transactions (RPTs), while often perceived as a technical subject, is at the same time key to improving corporate governance frameworks and practices, including in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Globally, RPT frameworks and practices have been subject to growing attention due to the risks associated with RPTs and the negative consequences of illegitimate RPTs already witnessed in a number of markets. Recognising the importance of creating adequate frameworks for regulation of RPTs, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2012 published a peer review of its member countries entitled Related Party Transactions and Minority Shareholder Rights. The OECD has also conducted work on RPT treatment in other regions such Asia, where concentrated ownership and the presence of business groups, much like in the MENA region, has highlighted the risk of inappropriate RPTs. The Guide on Fighting Abusive Related Party Transactions in Asia was published by the OECD in 2009. In the MENA region, while the prevalence of RPTs is also significant, their regulatory treatment has so far not been adequately addressed. In order to bridge this gap, the Union of Arab Securities Authorities (UASA) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) agreed to collaborate on a project aimed to shed light on this complex policy issue in the context of the MENA region. This project, approved by the Board of the UASA in Kuwait in February 2013, commenced in June 2013 with a survey of Arab capital market authorities (contained in Annex I to this report, originally carried out in Arabic).
