The borrowing by various banks from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) through the Standing Lending Facility (SLF) experienced a significant decline of 76.4 per cent month-on-month, decreasing to ₦4.04 trillion in August from ₦17.12 trillion in July.
According to the CBN Financial Data, there was a notable increase in banks’ deposits within the CBN Standing Deposit Facility (SDF), which surged by 270.7 per cent month-on-month, rising to ₦8.12 trillion from ₦2.19 trillion in July.
These trends suggest that banks are currently holding excess funds, which are not being utilized by businesses, likely due to the elevated borrowing rates following the recent hike in the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR).
This situation arises in the context of the CBN’s recent adjustments to the SDF rates, aimed at reducing the tendency of banks to maintain surplus liquidity at the CBN and encouraging more lending activities.
The adjustments were outlined in a circular issued after the 296th Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, during which the apex bank modified the Asymmetric Corridor surrounding the MPR from +100/-300 basis points (bps) to +500/-100 bps to discourage banks from retaining excess liquidity.
