Stanbic IBTC records improvement in key metrics in the first quarter amid yield pressure.
LAGOS, NIGERIA – 23 April 2021 – Stanbic IBTC, a member of Standard Bank Group, has announced its three months unaudited results for the period ended 31 March 2021.
Commenting on the results, Dr. Demola Sogunle, Chief Executive Stanbic IBTC, said: “The domestic economy remains quite fragile. Negative real returns prevailed in the first quarter as headline inflation continued on the rise, currently above 18% as of March 2021. Economic activities are expected to improve as the authorities take on appropriate actions and business confidence improves. Just recently, in April 2021, the CBN resumed dollar sales to foreign portfolio investors for the first time since December 2020 to clear the backlog of foreign exchange demand.
