The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has emphasized the critical role of a recapitalized banking sector in driving Nigeria’s economic growth and achieving the ambitious target of a trillion-dollar economy.

Dr. Emomotimi Agama, the director-general of SEC, has  highlighted the need for a diversified economy, robust infrastructure, human capital development, and a conducive business environment to unlock the nation’s full potential.

Agama explained that bank recapitalization can significantly contribute to economic growth by increasing lending to key sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Additionally, it empowers banks to underwrite large-scale projects, attract foreign investment, and deepen the capital market.

Agama explained that bank recapitalization can significantly contribute to economic growth by increasing lending to key sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Additionally, it empowers banks to underwrite large-scale projects, attract foreign investment, and deepen the capital market.

The SEC he said has introduced a framework to streamline the capital-raising process for banks during the 2024-2026 recapitalization period. This includes options like rights issues, private placements, and other approved methods.

The framework aligns with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) directive to increase the capital base of deposit money banks to N500 billion for international banks, N200 billion for national banks, and N50 billion for regional banks.

While acknowledging the potential challenges of recapitalization, such as share price dilution and increased debt servicing, the SEC is committed to ensuring a smooth and transparent process for banks.
