Book excerpt: Banking and corporate governance reform is an ongoing phenomenon which has received intense global attention after the 2008 global financial crisis. This is particularly true of Nigeria where banks constitute a dominant position of the financial sector. It has compelled many financial and non-financial regulators in Nigeria such as the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Securities and Exchange Commission to revise the codes of best practices for banks and other public companies overtime with a new single code of corporate governance [the national code of corporate governance] set to be released by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria.This paper makes a contribution to the existing literature on the state of corporate governance development in the Nigerian banking and non-banking sector, the impacts of the banking regulations and the efforts put in place at ensuring that banks are well governed. It also addresses the issue of compliance, disclosure and harmonisation of codes in Nigeria. It argues that while standards and codes are being enacted and revised by the CBN, the SEC and now FRCN, there is greater need for the Nigerian internal and external environments (such as the socio-political, economic and cultural systems) to support the reforms. There is also need for better enforcement, a renewed transparency and total compliance to the spirit and letter of the code in Nigeria.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 4.60, , course: Banking and Finance, language: English, abstract: The objectives of this study includes to examine the effects of banking sector reforms on bank performance, savings, investments, developments of the Nigerian Banking System and Economic Growth. The banking sector is without no doubt a very essential part of the economy of a nation and any reforms carried out in it extend to other parts of the economy representing a transformational moment for the economy and its people. So it remains a nationwide challenge that the Nigerian banking sector and it’s reforms haven’t been able to significantly support the long-term financial needs of the real sector or facilitate the growth of the Nigerian economy The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test and The Phillip-Perron Test were used to test for stationarity of the variables, while the Johansen co-integration test was employed to indicate the existence of a long-run relationship among Gross Domestic Product—which acted as the Economic Growth proxy, Commercial Bank’s Capital, Commercial Bank’s Credit, and Number of Commercial Bank Branches which acted as the other variables. Secondary data was sourced from Commercial Bank Statistics, Central Bank Of Nigeria Bulletins, Nigeria Bureau Of Statistics, Statistical Bulletins for the period of 1998-2017. Conclusively, there was a positive and significant relationship betweenEconomic Growth and Banking Sector Reforms in the long run, but a negative relationship between Economic Growth and Financial Sector Reforms in the short-run. It was recommended that the government should ensure political and macroeconomic stability as the activities in all other sectors are affected by them, and that people are enlightened on the benefits of banking sector reforms so that they don’t take opposing actions against the goal of reforms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rage of the Risk God chronicles in the broadest conceptual language, the impact of the catastrophic global economic crisis of 2008/09 on the Nigerian banking industry, and the concomitant regulatory intervention, which had had more than mere tangential effect that as yet is reshaping the industry and the national economy in a way not exactly predictable. It contextualises the motivations, rationale, and the impact of the banking reforms embarked upon by the Central Bank of Nigeria under Mallam Lamido Sanusi, who is fondly referred to as the risk god by his professional colleagues in the banking industry because of his unmatched mastery of risk management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of banks is integral to the development of any nation due to their multiplier effects on the economy at large. This is particularly true of Nigeria where banks have an overwhelmingly dominant position in the financial system. More so, the effects of the global financial crisis on many emerging economies such as Nigeria which have re-echoed the importance of corporate governance have compelled the financial and non-financial regulators such as the central bank of Nigeria and the Securities and Exchange Commission to revise their codes of best practices for the banks and other public companies. 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. It also addresses the issue on whether the banking reforms carried out by the central bank of Nigeria in relation to governance are enough or adequate for the survival of the Nigerian financial sector in the face of the global challenges. It argues that while standards and codes are being enacted and revised by the CBN and the SEC, there is need for the Nigerian internal and external environments (be it socio-cultural, political, economic, legal, religious etc.) to support the reforms.

Download or read book Banking Reforms in Africa written by Agnes Olatokunbo Martins and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively explores the intricate relationship between banking reforms, economic well-being, and poverty reduction across the African continent. Delving into the historical roots of banking reforms, it examines the resilience of banking sectors in key African countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, MENA, and beyond. The findings suggest that much attention should be paid to the design of banking systems and how banks are regulated. This focus on banks differs from many discussions on the topic, which tend to be more concerned with other policy areas such as economic policy, international trade policy, and aid. The book’s extensive and contemporary overview of banking reforms enables a comparative analysis of regulatory frameworks, supervision practices, and government interventions. It evaluates theoretical frameworks linking banking reforms to bank stability and resilience, drawing on financial intermediation, resource allocation, systemic risk, and financial development concepts. It empirically tests the causal relationships between the Basel II/III capital reforms, bank sector resilience, economic growth, and poverty reduction and identifies and analyses the channels and mechanisms through which banking reforms affect economic welfare and poverty reduction in Africa, such as credit availability, financial efficiency, financial innovation, and financial access. The book offers an insightful exploration into a brighter economic future on the African continent. The findings presented herein offer valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners striving to enhance financial stability, foster economic growth, and alleviate poverty in Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of One Man is a lucid account of the Professor Chukwuma Soludo-engineered banking consolidation - its launch and implementation, and how it transformed the Nigerian banking industry. The take-off point of the narrative is a vivid account of the liberalisation of the national economy, the consequent deregulation of the banking industry, and the resultant proliferation of banks. The deregulation of the banking industry resulted in the mushrooming of banks all over the place; at some point, well over 100 banks dotted the Nigerian banking space. By 2004, however, the number of banks in the country had shrunk to 89, following the collapse of some of the banks. The crash of some of the banks in quick succession almost completely eroded public confidence in the country's banking system. Allowing this to continue was going to spell doom for the national economy. To arrest the situation and also transform the nation's banking industry, Soludo who was barely a month in office as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) embarked on banking reforms that had all the trappings of a revolution. The prompting for the reforms was his discontent with the fragility and meagre capital base of most of the 89 banks that littered the Nigerian banking space, and their inability to drive the growth and development of the national economy at a rapid pace. The major objective of the reforms, therefore, was to transform the country's banking system to one that exudes stability, and populated by well-capitalised, strong banks that can champion the country's economic renaissance. Expectedly, the implementation of the consolidation agenda was not a walk in the park. The journey was tough and rough. But with Soludo's unflinching and total commitment to the programme, and the backing of his boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo, its success was as sure as night follows day. At the end of the 18-month timeframe set for the exercise, 25 banks emerged, all of them capitalised to the required N25 billion; some even went way above the N25 billion base capital. Thus, a new Nigeria banking industry was born. Since then, the industry has been growing by leaps and bounds. One significant objective of the banking consolidation was to see Nigerian banks fly Nigeria's flag in different countries of Africa and around the world. That has come to pass. Nigerian banks, especially First Bank, United Bank for Africa, Guaranty Trust Bank, Access Bank and Zenith Bank are everywhere dense in Africa. These banks are also bestriding the global financial markets like a colossus - their subsidiaries are competing favourably and operating profitably in different countries of the world. Certainly, the Nigerian banking industry envisioned in the 2004/2005 banking consolidation agenda is here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments of many developed and developing countries have designed and implemented various financial reforms to enable the sector play the role of efficient financial intermediation, thereby helping to bolster economic growth and development. This paper surveys past and present literature on the chronology of banking reforms in Nigeria and the implications of the last reform on the Nigerian economy. The paper is analytical with mode of presentation based on content analysis. The paper posits that the banking system in Nigeria has come a long way in term of regulations and reforms; number of institutions, structure of ownership; and depth and breadth of operations. However the various reforms have not yet achieved the desired objectives either due to poor implementation or improper institutional arrangement or sometimes due to abrupt termination of the reforms. The paper suggests that henceforth, reforms should be designed along peculiarities of the Nigerian economy and institutional behaviour, and should be backed by adequate legislations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This piece presents data published by the Central Bank of Nigeria on currency, bank deposits and other financial assets, to enable us evaluate Professor Charles Soludo's 'banking reform proposals'. We show that Soludo's proposals emanated from his misconceptions on cash, deposit-mobilization/intermediation depths, and capital adequacy of banks in Nigeria. We emphasize that going ahead with any aspect of the Soludo proposals will create problems for the banking sector in particular, and the Nigerian economy in general. We argue that we should be concerned about rebuilding the financial system, not just the banking sector. We then proceed to show in very clear terms how Nigerian financial system has evolved in the last twenty five years, why this has been the case, and what we can do to get a deeper financial system in Nigeria.
