Read Time:1 Minute, 48 Second

The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture is taking a cautious and analytical approach to the Central Bank of Nigeriaā€™s new guidelines on the recapitalisation of banks in the country.

 

In a statement made available on Monday, the association said it will engage with relevant stakeholders and await the complete policy frameworkā€™s release before formulating a comprehensive response.

 

In the statement addressing the CBNā€™s directive to raise Tier 1 and Tier 2 banksā€™ capital bases to N500bn and N200bn respectively, NACCIMA National President, Dele Oye, emphasised the need for prudence and thorough analysis given the policy shiftā€™s significance within the banking sector and its potential macroeconomic implications.

 

ā€œIt is imperative to highlight NACCIMAā€™s approach to this matter as one of caution, prudence, and thorough analysis.

 

ā€œAs such, we intend to engage in consultations with our stakeholders and await the disclosure of the complete policy framework from the CBN and the government,ā€ Oye said.

 

He acknowledged the importance of maintaining a robust banking system while expressing the associationā€™s inability to provide a comprehensive commentary without access to the full details and context surrounding the CBNā€™s decision.

 

ā€œNACCIMA acknowledges the significance of this policy shift within the banking sector and its potential implications on the broader macroeconomic landscape,ā€ he said.

 

He added, ā€œWhile recognising the importance of maintaining a robust banking system, we are currently unable to provide a comprehensive commentary on the policy without access to the full details and context surrounding the CBNā€™s decision.ā€

 

Stressing NACCIMAā€™s commitment to safeguarding the interests of private citizens and promoting the public good, Oye stated, ā€œNACCIMA refrains from offering a definitive opinion on the policy at this moment until a thorough understanding of the objectives and implications are outlined by the regulatory authorities.ā€

 

The association added that it remains committed to engaging constructively with all relevant parties to facilitate a nuanced and informed discourse on the critical issue.

 

ā€œOur organisation stands ready to engage constructively with all relevant parties to facilitate a nuanced and informed discourse on this critical issue,ā€ Oye concluded.
