As Nigeria’s financial sector continues to navigate one of its most significant recapitalisation cycles in recent years, CFA Society Nigeria convened senior regulators, policymakers, and market participants in Abuja for a timely and forward-looking conversation on what these reforms mean for the future of the financial system.
Held on 30 April 2026, the Regulators Roundtable on “Capital, Stability and Growth: Assessing the Implications of Nigeria’s Financial Sector Recapitalisation” brought together stakeholders across banking, pensions, insurance, and capital markets to discuss not just capital requirements, but the broader questions of resilience, governance, market confidence, and sustainable growth.
The conversation was practical, candid, and focused on implementation realities. A strong theme that emerged was that recapitalisation is not simply about raising bigger balance sheets, but about building stronger institutions, improving risk management, and reinforcing public trust in the financial system.
The roundtable also reflects CFA Society Nigeria’s broader advocacy and policy engagement strategy to deepen dialogue between regulators and market participants, contribute to policy conversations shaping the investment industry, and strengthen the Society’s voice within Nigeria’s financial ecosystem.
As part of the session, CFA Society Nigeria presented its position paper and facilitated discussions with representatives from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Nigeria), National Pension Commission (PenCom), and National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).
The communiqué below highlights the key insights, areas of consensus, and forward-looking considerations that emerged from the dialogue.
