Financial Soundness Indicators and Nigeria Deposit Money Banks’ Performance2021 •
DMBs are the major conduit for the monetary authority monetary policy transmission in Nigeria and the effectiveness of the monetary policy in the economy is contingent on their performance. Consequently, the study was carried out to determine the impact of monetary policy on the performance of DMBs in Nigeria. Annual data of the 17 DMBs in Nigeria was used for the period of 2013 to 2019. A causal research design was adopted with a census sampling technique. Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), Exchange Rate (EXR), Money Supply (M2), Cash Reserve Ratio were used as proxies for monetary policy (the explanatory variables) while Return on Equity (ROE) was used as a proxy for DMBs performance (the explained variable), and bank size (M) was used as a moderating variable to determine the moderating impact on the relationship between monetary policy and performance of DMBs in Nigeria. Diagnostic tests conducted include the Shapiro Wilk normality test, the Harris-Tzavalis Unit Root test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation test, Breusch-Pagan and Hausman tests for the determination of the appropriate model. The study made used of panel regression model and the random effect model was adopted based on the Hausman test conducted. The findings of the analysis revealed that MPR, EXR and CRR have negative impacts on the performance of DMBs in Nigeria however, only EXR is not significant at the 5% level of significance while M2 has a significant positive impact on performance. The moderating variable of bank size also showed a weak significant positive impact on the performance at 10% level of significance with the effect of moderating the magnitude of all the monetary policy instruments. Also, significant positive interactions were discovered between MPR and bank size as well as M2 and bank size. It was therefore recommended that the monetary authority should tread with caution in manipulating the monetary instruments to achieve certain macroeconomic objectives so as not to impact heavily on DMBs performance while DMBs management were advised to be conscious of the monetary policy and strategize ways to improve in their performance, amidst adverse policy prescriptions, which is only possible with a competent management team.
In the banking sector good corporate governance practices are regarded as important in reducing risk for investors, attracting investment capital and improving the performance of companies. This paper examines the Issues and challenges around Corporate Governance in the Nigerian Banking Industry. Data were sourced from survey questionnaire. We found that lack of presentation of information is common banks in pre-consolidation than post-consolidation era, frauds, override of internal control and non-adherence to limit of authority in a bid to meet set targets and recapitalization of bank play a vital role in promoting effective corporate governance. In addition, lack of effective corporate governance results to the failure of banks in Nigeria. The study recommends that promoting the culture of whistle blowing, promoting business ethics through moral education, strengthen the financial system to encourage compliance with the code of corporate governance as well as establishing strong anti-fraud controls that would serve as deterrents to fraudsters at every level within the deposit money banks. On the whole, this paper makes a contribution to the existing literature on the state of corporate governance development in the Nigerian banking sector, the impacts of the banking regulations and the efforts put in place at ensuring that the banks are well governed.

Abstract Distress assets of Non-Performing Loans (NPL) are part of life of Financial Institutions (FIs). The case is not different with Nigeria as NPLs account for one of the major ills facing the Nigeria FIs. The Nigeria financial system underwent major structural challenges leading up to the 2009 crisis and beyond. The need to act quickly and the shortfalls of existing resolution tools led to the creation of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON). AMCON was established pursuant to the AMCON Act in July, 2010 as a key stabilizing and revitalizing tool to reviving the financial system. Recently, there have been doubts as to the continued effectiveness of AMCON as a banking resolution vehicle and the need for an overhaul of the AMCON Act to bring it strictly within the ambit of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). In recognition of the challenges of AMCON and the growing rate of NPLs within the banking sector, the need for other resolution and risk management tools that will help financial institutions in Nigeria deal with their NPLs become pertinent. This paper looks at securitization as a form of structural financing which transfers identifiable assets of FIs into tradable securities that can be sold in the capital market. This process is capable of replenishing banks of the funds to execute other projects. Inseparably linked to this finance structure is the SPV which pays for the asset sold by the FIs through the issuance of debt securities to investors in the capital market. This paper concludes that AMCON as presently constituted is not a securitization SPV. It suggests a bank based model of asset management, one of which is securitization which allows banks to create their own SPV to deal with toxic assets. To achieve this, this paper advocates for a well-structured legal framework on securitization in Nigeria. It further advocates for more private Asset Management Companies who are better able to securitize NPLs of these FIs.

Recent Developments And Trends In The Banking Sector In Nigeria2020 •
The Nigerian banking sector acts as the lubricant of economic growth and development through effective financial services that impact every sector of the economy. The banking sector has been the hub and heartbeat of the Nigerian economy. It has played prominent roles in sustaining the development of the Nigerian economy through its financial obligations and performing their traditional roles of financing capital projects, mobilizing savings through a network of branches for investments. Thus, they help in capital formation. Other roles performed by the banks in the economy include financing trade, agriculture, industry, consumer activities and also help in the implementation of monetary policies. Despite having so many sectors in the economy that depend on banking, banks in Nigeria though diversified are yet to realize their full potentials even with the range of specialized actors tapping specific niches. There has been considerable innovation and diversification in the business of major commercial banks. Some of them have engaged in the areas of consumer credit, credit cards, merchant banking, leasing, mutual funds, Academic Leadership (Online Journal) ISSN: 1533-7812 Vol-21-Issue-09-September-2020 P a g e | 29 etc. This study will, therefore, examine the recent developments and trends of the Nigerian banking industry.
The paper assesses the recent bank reforms and banking sector performance in Nigeria from 1986 to 2012.The essence of the study is to see if the reforms have had any meaningful impact on the performance of the banking industry. To have a well defined study, economic models was developed; the dependent variable to proxy bank performance is commercial bank credit to private sector (cps) while other reforms variables are number of banks, bank asset, non-performing loan to total loan and liquidity ratio. Using the co integration analysis, it is discovered that number of banks (branches) shows positive relationship with CPS the other independent variables show negative impact on CPS. As the NPLTTL rises, it causes decline in the availability of credit to private sector, likewise the liquidity ratio (LR) and BA. The research does provide recommendation to achieving effective better performance.

The banking sector and national economyThe banks are central elements of a market economy. In more than one way, they facilitate business transactions by acting as depositor and lender for many actors in the domestic and international economy. The banking industry in Nigeria has expanded in size in terms of assets in the last 60 years since the country’s independence from British colonial rule and undergone large-scale reforms vis a vis transformation in the global economy. What are the dimensions of this growth? How has it affected market efficiency and economic wellbeing of the people? This article provides answers to these questions and argue that growth has indeed happened in the banking sector by a quantification of liquid assets, investment securities and loans. It also captured its transnational dimension and how that has boosted international transactions as well as repatriation of Diaspora transfers to the national economy. This article also focused on the contradictions of the economy arising from inconsistent policies of government and meddlesomeness of global financial institutions, and their impact on the banking sector. This article ends on a prescriptive note by suggesting ways to make the banking sector more relevant in promoting productive activities in the national economy.
