The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has introduced a new license for global banks, which is designed to promote financial inclusion, improve the efficiency of the banking system, and enhance the overall stability of the financial sector.

Here are some key features of the new license:

  1. Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs): The new license is designed for global banks that are considered systemically important, meaning they have a significant impact on the global financial system.
  2. Increased Capital Requirements: Global banks with a presence in Nigeria will be required to maintain a minimum capital adequacy ratio of 12%, which is higher than the current requirement of 10%.
  3. Enhanced Risk Management: The new license requires global banks to implement robust risk management systems to mitigate potential risks and ensure the stability of the financial system.
  4. Increased Supervision: The CBN will conduct regular on-site and off-site inspections to ensure that global banks comply with the new license requirements and maintain high standards of governance and risk management.
  5. Increased Transparency: Global banks will be required to provide regular reports to the CBN on their operations, financial performance, and risk management practices.
  6. Increased Competition: The new license is expected to increase competition in the Nigerian banking sector, which will benefit consumers and promote financial inclusion.
  7. Improved Governance: The new license requires global banks to have a strong governance structure, including a board of directors and senior management team, to ensure that the bank is run in a responsible and transparent manner.

The introduction of the new license is expected to promote financial stability, improve the efficiency of the banking system, and enhance the overall stability of the financial sector in Nigeria.
