Nigerian Banks Deposit N58 Trillion with Central Bank, Chasing High Yields
Nigerian banks have deposited a significant amount of N58.099 trillion with the Central Bank of Nigeria, driven by the pursuit of higher yields following adjustments in the monetary policy. The Central Bank's Monetary Policy Committee recently cut the benchmark interest rate for the first time since September 2021, aligning with global trends.
