According to ThisDay Live, banks' borrowing from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has decreased by 96.04% Year-on-Year (YoY), reaching N2.33 trillion in the first half of 2026. This significant decline occurs amidst ongoing uncertainty in the business environment.

Nigeria's overnight financing market fund (NOFR) declined by about 6.5 per cent month-on-month to N98.08 trillion at the end of August 2026, according to data from the Central Bank of Nigeria reported by ThisDay Live. The figures reflect a contraction in short-term funding volumes in the country's financial markets, as detailed by correspondent Kayode Tokede. The central bank data indicates shifting liquidity conditions in Nigeria's interbank and overnight financing segment during the period.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has intensified its liquidity sterilisation efforts, absorbing around N4.74 trillion from investors through three Open Market Operations (OMO) auctions held on June 22 and June 23, 2026. This move is part of the CBN's strategy to manage liquidity in the financial system during the final week of June 2026, according to Nairametrics.

Nigeria's banking system recorded a liquidity surplus of N4.66 trillion last week, according to Punch. The surplus reportedly eased funding pressure across banks and contributed to a lower overnight lending rate, improving conditions within the country's financial system. The development suggests banks had more funds available than needed to meet their obligations during the period, reducing the cost of short-term borrowing between institutions. Further details on the figures and their implications were not provided in the available report.

Nigeria's non-performing loans (NPLs) ratio increased to 9.85% in February 2026, nearly double the acceptable threshold of 5%. This rise followed the Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) withdrawal of regulatory forbearance, which led lenders to reclassify previously deferred exposures. The information was detailed in the CBN's February 2026 Economic Report released on Wednesday.

According to the Central Bank of Nigeria's monthly economic report for February 2026, net foreign exchange inflow into the economy decreased by 24 percent month-on-month, falling to $6.92 billion from $9.22 billion in January. The report indicated that this decline was driven by various factors, although specific reasons were not detailed in the blurb.
