    LAGOS, NIGERIA 1 April 2021 Group Audited Results for the Full Year ended 31 December 2020 Access Bank delivered solid and resilient top-line figures despite a challenging economic and regulatory landscape. This is an attestation to our long history of resilience, scale, dedicated people and sustainable business model. Our resilient business model ensured that the Group adapted to accommodate the resultant macro-economic downturn and headwinds of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group recorded gross earnings of ₦764.7bn (+15% y/y), arising from a 112% y/y growth in non- interest income to ₦275.5bn, which is testimonial to the effectiveness of our strategy and capacity to generate sustainable revenue. Profit Before Tax stood at ₦125.9bn despite the high cost of operating the enlarged franchise and the increase in net impairment charge of near ₦43bn arising principally (~50% of net impairment) from a Structured Trade Finance (“STF”) portfolio in the Access Bank UK. The STF impairment is one-off/COVID related and recoverable over the next 12-18 months against insurance cover from world class insurers. We also recorded consistent growth in our retail banking business, leading to a 5.8mn growth in customer sign-on during the year via our financial inclusion drive and retail revenue of ₦177.2bn (FY 2019: ₦107.8bn). Customer deposits grew by 31% to ₦5.59trn in Dec 2020 (Dec 2019: ₦4.26trn) with savings account deposits of ₦1.31trn. Similarly, net loans and advances grew by 18% to ₦3.61trn (Dec 2019: ₦3.06trn).

Nkurunziza, Léonce Ndikumana, and Prime Nyamoya 3.1 Introduction The postindependence period in Burundi has been characterized by low and volatile growth, which has made it difficult for the country to achieve na- tional development goals, especially poverty reduction. Factors that account for the sluggish and volatile growth range from physical constraints (e.g., Burundi is landlocked) that raise the costs of production and trade, to po- litical instability (Nkurunziza and Ngaruko 2008). The country’s political and economic instability has constrained the mobilization of public and private domestic resources, thus limiting investment, entrepreneurship, and growth in productivity. Yet private investment and enterprise development are important drivers of employment creation, poverty reduction, long- term growth, and economic resilience through diversification and expansion of the growth base.

  • Case Study of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc
    International Journal of Academic Research in Accounting, Finance and Management Sciences Vol. 4, No.2, April 2014, pp. 51–61 E-ISSN: 2225-8329, P-ISSN: 2308-0337 © 2014 HRMARS www.hrmars.com Strategic Management, an Organisational Risk Management Framework: Case Study of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc Olajide Solomon FADUN School of Management & Business Studies (SMBS), Lagos State Polytechnic, Lagos Nigeria, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Well formulated and implemented strategies are critical to firms’ performance. Strategic management is beneficial to a business as it operates in a dynamic and uncertain business environment. The study views strategic management as organisational risk management framework that promotes identification and evaluation of organisational risks and opportunities to enhance a firm’s performance. The study examines components of strategic management process, using Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (GTBank) as case study. It highlights background of study; undertakes internal analysis - SWOT; considers external environment, using PESTLE analytical tool; highlights strategic analysis and choice; appraises long-term objectives, generic and grand strategies; explains short-term objectives; and explores strategic control and continuous improvement. The findings indicate that GTBank has built its strategy around its brand image and its major competitors have not been able to displace her in the banking sector. This suggests that strategic management is beneficial to a firm, as it operates in a dynamic and uncertain business environment. The implication for practice is that effective strategic management - evaluation, formulation and implementation of organisational objectives - is critical for survival and relevance of a firm in the global business environment.
