A report by Vetiva Research, titled ‘Nigeria Equity Strategy, Conviction Stocks for 2025,’ has highlighted the potential benefits of ongoing digital transformation and recapitalisation efforts in the Nigerian banking sector.

The report notes that the adoption of digital technologies will streamline banking processes, reduce operational costs, and improve customer experiences. Additionally, the recapitalisation policy is expected to strengthen the capital base of banks, enabling them to better withstand economic shocks.

“Together, these initiatives are anticipated to bolster the overall resilience and competitiveness of Nigeria’s banking sector, positioning it for sustainable growth and improved financial stability as well as sustained earnings growth across core banking operations, especially in the first half of 2025,” the report said.
