Re: Internal Capital Generation and Dividend Payout Ratio

The Central Bank of Nigeria issues a letter to all banks regarding internal capital generation and dividend payout ratios. The letter emphasizes the importance of retained earnings as a source of capital growth and seeks to address emerging risks by implementing proactive measures. Key directives include restrictions on dividend payouts for banks that do not meet specific criteria, such as minimum capital adequacy ratios, composite risk ratings, and non-performing loan ratios.
