When Loans Go Bad. Despite a turbulent decade, FBN Holdings, Nigeria’s oldest financial market lender, has demonstrated remarkable resilience in overcoming odds associated with a legacy institution. It has effectively tackled issues such as board governance recalibrations, high cost-to-income ratios (CIRs), poorly balanced loan asset distribution, large non-performing loans (NPLs), and overweight bank clearing house exposures to lower-tiered deposit-taking institutions. This period of adversity may potentially strengthen the financial group, making it more resilient, better managed, and focused; even as it looks into management resource capacity building and resolution of structural adjustments needed to reposition the bank post-recapitalization.
