Proposed rules by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Bank Holding Companies (BHCs) could compel some Nigerian banks to restructure their operations, according to Fitch Ratings.
The proposed framework is expected to introduce new requirements for banks operating under holding company structures, potentially affecting how financial institutions organise their businesses and manage subsidiaries.
Fitch said the changes could require affected banks to review their existing structures and make adjustments to comply with the new regulatory requirements.
The development comes as the CBN continues efforts to strengthen regulatory oversight and promote stability within Nigeria’s banking sector.
