Re: Regulatory Forbearance for the Restructuring of Credit Facilities of Other Financial Institutions Impacted by Covid-19

The Central Bank of Nigeria reduced interest rates on intervention facilities from 9% to 5% annually and granted a one-year moratorium on principal payments to mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the expiration of these measures, the CBN has extended the discounted interest rate for another year and will consider moratorium roll-overs on a case-by-case basis. These decisions aim to provide continued financial relief to banks and other financial institutions impacted by the pandemic.
