First Bank of Nigeria (FBN) Ghana, considerably improved its loan asset quality over the period between Q1 2020 and Q1 2021.

Recorded non-performing loans (NPLs) of FBN Bank at the end of the first quarter of 2021, stood at 8.51 percent of gross loans.

On a year-on-year basis, FBN Bank slashed its loans by 13.65 percentage points from the 22.16 percent NPL ratio recorded in Q1 2020.

The bank for the first quarter also posted a Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 70.87 percent – 5 times more the BoG’s regulatory requirement of 13 percent CAR – indicating the bank’s strong ability to absorb potential losses incurred through bad loans.

Profit recorded for Q1 2021, according to the bank’s Q1 2021 Financial Statement and as examined by norvanreports, was Ghs 14.2 million.

Profit recorded for same period last year – Q1 2020 – was Ghs 12.6 million, implying that the bank on a year-on-year basis grew its profit by some Ghs 1.6 milllion.

The realized profit was driven by net interest income and revenue which improved from Ghs 35 million to Ghs 40 million  and Ghs 39 million to Ghs 44 million in Q1 2020 and Q1 2021 respectively.
