Meanwhile, Newsone Nigeria reports that Access Bank suffered a N7.19 billion drop in net profit, which fell to N152.90 billion, as the company could not surpass the N160.09 billion profit after tax recorded in the same period in 2021.

Amid the decline in the company’s net profit, Access Bank obtained $300 million from its parent company, Access Holdings. The parent company said the $300 million would be used to improve Access Bank’s total capital ratios and finance its African expansion. This was disclosed in a statement filed with the capital market authority, Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX).

Also, part of the investment capital will be disbursed to improve shareholders’ funds, which gives an insight into the financial health of a company, just as total capital ratios do.

“The Investment takes the form of a Tier 1 capital qualifying Mandatory Convertible Instrument and is expected to improve the Bank’s shareholders funds and total capital ratios. The Central Bank of Nigeria has approved the Investment,” Access Holdings said.
