More Capital, Same Problem: Why Nigeria’s Credit Gap Persists
Nigeria’s banking sector just hit a major milestone:
✅ 32 banks met new CBN capital requirements
✅ ₦4.61 trillion raised
A clear success.
But the real question is:
👉 Why isn’t credit flowing to the real economy?
Risk implication:
Banks may look strong on paper—but portfolios are concentrated.
For IFRS 9:
• Higher ECL sensitivity
• Greater volatility in downturns
• Need stronger, sector-aware risk models
Key barriers to lending:
• High govt borrowing
• High interest rates
• Tough collateral requirements
• Incentives for low-risk assets
Recapitalisation is just the start.
👉 Growth happens when credit reaches the real economy.

IFRS 9 with Basel Capital Requirements:
Aligning IFRS 9 with Basel capital isn’t a conflict—it’s a perspective gap.

One asks: What losses do you expect?
The other asks: What losses can you survive?
Both matter. The challenge is how they connect.

The key question:

Is the change driven by real credit deterioration or forward-looking assumptions?
Without clarity:
• You may overreact
• Or underreact
Also beware of double-counting:
IFRS 9 = expected losses
Basel = unexpected losses
This isn’t just a modelling issue—it’s an architecture issue.
IFRS 9, Basel, ICAAP & stress testing should be:
→ Different views of the same balance sheet
How is your institution aligning ECL with capital planning?

The CBN'S NEW INFLATION TARGET AND WHAT IT SIGNALS FOR NIGERIA'S FINANCIAL SECTOR
Nigeria’s inflation has been a major economic disruptor—shrinking purchasing power, stretching households, and complicating planning for businesses.
For financial institutions, this changes everything:
• IFRS9 models must be recalibrated
• Credit risk assumptions need updating
• Stress-testing must factor in global shocks
• Higher rates may persist, affecting borrowers & portfolios
Bottom line: A credible inflation-targeting regime is a strong signal for markets and investors. Stability builds confidence—but risk teams must stay agile.
At BST Consulting, we help institutions turn shifts like this into smarter risk strategies.
