  • This item went from a loss of N3.5 billion in the second quarter of 2022 to N231.7 billion in the second quarter only.

Nairametrics analysis indicates this must have been a result of the bank’s valuation of some of its foreign currency assets which have now been revalued in Naira terms following the unification of the naira.

  • The unification of the naira led to a depreciation of the naira from N460 to about N765/$1.
  • This means any dollar asset held by the bank will rise when classified in Naira terms.
  • For example, the value of its financial assets held at fair value rose from N278.4 billion to N681.3 billion
  • A further insight also reveals the bank’s derivative assets were the specific assets that recorded the growth.
