Summary: | The assessment of the current state of
the implementation of the Basel Core Principles (BCP) for
effective banking supervision in Nigeria, against the BCP
methodology issued by the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (BCBS) in October 2006, was completed between
August 27 and September 19, 2012, as part of a Financial
Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) update, undertaken jointly
by the Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, and reflects the
regulatory and supervisory framework in place as of the date
of the completion of the assessment. An assessment of the
effectiveness of banking supervision requires a review of
the legal framework, both generally and as specifically
related to the financial sector, and a detailed examination
of the policies and practices of the institutions
responsible for banking supervision. Banking systems differ
from one country to another, as do their domestic
circumstances. The BCPs are capable of application to a wide
range of jurisdictions whose banking sectors will inevitably
include a broad spectrum of banks. The co-ordination of the
activities of the Nigerian banking sector supervisory
authorities is conducted under the aegis of the Central Bank
of Nigeria (CBN)/Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation
(NDIC) executive committee on supervision which should
ensure that operations of the two supervisory authorities
are coordinated to remove overlaps, avoid gaps and ensure
adequate information sharing on issues of supervisory
concern. The Financial Services Regulation Coordinating
Committee (FSRCC) provides the platform for the
co-ordination among and information sharing with regulatory
authorities, inter alia with reference to financial sector
stability, and supervision of financial conglomerates,
financial holding companies and bank holding companies. The
Nigerian economy has experienced a number of domestic and
external shocks in recent years, which impacted the banking
sector. The Nigerian economy emerged from the banking
crisis, and has the potential to enjoy an extended period of
strong economic growth. |
