Scenario II: A licensed deposit-money bank faces severe liquidity distress, necessitating official intervention to guarantee depositor funds and manage orderly liquidation.

Which combination of regulatory agencies holds the primary statutory mandate to oversee Scenario I and Scenario II, respectively?

  1. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for Scenario I, and Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) for Scenario IICevap
  2. B
    Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for Scenario I, and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for Scenario II
  3. C
    Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) for Scenario I, and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for Scenario II
  4. D
    Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for Scenario I, and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for Scenario II

Cevap

Scenario I is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), while Scenario II is managed by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC).
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is empowered by law as the primary regulatory body overseeing the Nigerian capital market, responsible for registering all public security issues including corporate debentures. Conversely, the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) is established to administer the deposit insurance scheme, insuring bank deposit liabilities and managing the liquidation of distressed banking institutions to safeguard depositors.
