The Recent CBN Monetary Policy Will Further Worsen the Economy – Peter Obi

The Recent CBN Monetary Policy Will Further Worsen the Economy – Peter Obi.

I am of the strong opinion that the recent decision of the Monetary Policy Committee to increase the Monetary Policy Rate, MPR, to 22.5% and the Cash Reserve Ratio, CRR, to 45% will further worsen the economic situation of most Nigerian households as it is bound to cause more job losses in the productive sector, especially manufacturing and other sectors that rely on bank loans and credit facilities for their funding needs.

Access, Zenith, UBA, and Others Must Boost Capital Base Under New CBN Rule.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is set to spearhead a surge in the capital base of Nigerian banks, aiming to boost it from the current N25 billion threshold.

Governor Olayemi Michael Cardoso announced this move, citing the necessity to align the nation with its ambitious target of achieving a $1 trillion Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This declaration came during the 58th Annual Bankers Dinner hosted by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) in Lagos.

Cardoso emphasized the insufficiency of the current bank capitalization in supporting the GDP expansion initiatives under President Tinubu’s administration. Notably, the last recapitalization in 2004 had escalated banks’ capital base from N2 billion to the existing N25 billion mark. However, analysts have pointed out that this amount no longer meets the demands of present economic realities.
