A new report by the European Investment Bank (EIB) based on a 2023 survey of Banking in Africa has found that banks on the continent have continued to show resilience despite operating in what the EIB described as “ a difficult environment.”
The report titled “Uncertain Times, Resilient Banks: African Finance at a Crossroads” released under the EIB’s eighth annual Investment in Africa report and covering the continent’s banking system, found that banking in Africa continues to show resilience and a desire to support private sector development despite operating in a tough environment.
Key banking indicators, such as capital ratios, profitability and non-performing loans, have not deteriorated despite the challenges the region is facing,” the EIB report noted.
This resilience, according to the report, may rightly be attributed initially to pandemic support measures to bolster the continent’s banking system, but it said such measures have been wound down, and that “most key bank metrics remain solid.”
