Why this matters

  • There seems to be stronger confidence by the foreign investors in the foreign-owned banks in Nigeria (SCB and 3 other banks), as about 80% of the capital inflows for the quarter were received through them while only paltry 20% went through the local banks, 23 in number.
  • This is a sharp indicator that most foreign investors do not have enough confidence in the local banks. No doubt, that could be related to trust in the local banks, as trust is so vital in winning the confidence of the customers and banking is also all about trust – without trust, no bank!
  • Trust is a major pillar and lack of it can inhibit banking business and prevent customers from patronizing the banks. Therefore, it is imperative that the local banks as well as all the operators in the financial services ecosystem improve upon their image and perception to win back the confidence of the foreign nations and investors and this initiative should be championed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
