With regards to Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Republic Bank strengthened marginally its CAR as it ended 2021 with a CAR of 27.63% – some 0.97% above 2020’s CAR of 26.66%.

The Bank’s CAR of 27.63% is more than double the banking industry’s average CAR of 11.5%.

With a CAR of 27.63%, it means that Republic Bank has enough capital to absorb potential losses incurred due to bad loans.

It also means that the bank is highly unlikely to become insolvent and very capable of protecting depositors’ monies.

The capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is a measurement of a bank’s available capital expressed as a percentage of a bank’s risk-weighted assets and liabilities.

Capital Adequacy Ratios mandate that a certain amount of the deposits be kept aside whenever a loan is being made. These deposits are kept aside as provisions to cover up the losses in case the loan goes bad.

Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) for the review period was significantly reduced by the bank thereby strengthening the bank’s asset quality.

Republic Bank reduced it’s NPLs from 19.03% to 15.32% (slightly above the industry’s average of 15.2%) in 2021.

The reduction in the bank’s NPLs signifies effective loan recovery methods being used by the bank.

In terms of profit recorded for the review period, Republic Bank for the year 2021 posted a net profit of GHS 81.6m, some GHS 30m more than the previous year’s net profit of GHS 51.6m.
