CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Nigerian banking industry plays a critical role in the country's economy, providing financial intermediation services, facilitating economic growth, and supporting various sectors. However, the year 2020 posed unprecedented challenges for the industry due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak of the pandemic and the subsequent lockdown measures implemented to contain its spread had far-reaching implications for the Nigerian banking sector. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the Nigerian banking industry in the year 2020, examining the macroeconomic environment, regulatory responses, digital transformation, financial performance, and the outlook for the industry.
The year 2020 began with optimism for the Nigerian banking industry, as it was expected to build on the positive momentum of the previous year. In 2019, the industry witnessed steady growth, with increased profitability and improvements in asset quality. However, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 disrupted the global economy and had profound effects on various sectors, including banking.
The first section of this review focuses on the macroeconomic environment in which Nigerian banks operated in 2020. The pandemic-induced lockdown measures and restrictions led to a significant decline in economic activities. The Nigerian economy, which heavily relies on oil exports and sectors such as trade, transportation, and hospitality, was severely impacted. This contraction in economic activities had direct consequences for the banking industry. With businesses facing operational challenges and reduced cash flows, the demand for credit declined, leading to decreased lending activities by banks. Additionally, the implementation of social distancing measures and restrictions on physical interactions necessitated a shift towards digital channels for banking services.
The second section of this review explores the regulatory responses implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to mitigate the adverse effects of
