Banks’ non-performing loans rose by N50bn to N1.17tn as of the end of August from N1.

12tn as of the end of June, the latest figures from the Central Bank of Nigeria and the National Bureau of Statistics have revealed.

The percentage of non-performing loans to the total credit, however, decreased from 6.4 per cent in June to 6.1 per cent in August. During the last Monetary Policy Committee meeting, the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, said, “The committee also noted the decrease in the NPLs ratio to 6.1 per cent at end-August 2020 compared with 9.4 per cent in the corresponding period of 2019 due largely to recoveries, write offs and disposals.”
