1 BANK ` + p E S T. OF GHANA Monetary Policy Report VOLUME 5 NO. 2 January 2016 Financial Stability Report 5.0 Introduction The January 2016 update of the IMF s World Economic Outlook (WEO) put global growth for 2015 at 3.1 percent. Growth is however projected to pick up to 3.4 percent and further up to 3.6 percent in 2016 and 2017 respectively The downside risks to the projected global growth include the slowdown and rebalancing of China s economy from largely investment and manufacturing towards consumption and services; lower commodity prices, and; the tight financial conditions. Failure to adopt measures to mitigate the adverse effects of these risks could potentially derail the growth prospects of the global economy The performance of the domestic economy picked up in the last quarter of 2015, reflected in the ongoing fiscal consolidation and the relative stability in the exchange rate; though inflationary pressures remained elevated The domestic banking sector remained sound and solvent in the fourth quarter of 2015, though marginal declines in the key financial soundness indicators were recorded during the period. 5.1 Credit Conditions Survey Loans or credit lines to Enterprises The update on banks lending conditions showed a tightening in banks overall credit stance to enterprises in December 2015 relative to the September 2015 stance. This tightened credit stance applied to both SMEs and large enterprises and also on both long term and short term loans (see Chart 1). This stance was largely driven by difficulty in access to market finance; moderation in expectations regarding economic conditions and balance sheet constraints. The 200 basis points and 1

2 100 basis points increases in the monetary policy rate by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) in September 2015 and November 2015 respectively culminated in a tightened stance by banks in the last quarter (see Chart 2). Chart 1: Overall Credit Stance Index, a rise denotes tightening NPR (%) Overall Credit Stance for Enterprises Small and Medium Enterprises Large Enterprises Short term Long term Notes: (NPR) Net percentage refers to the difference between the sum of the percentages for tightened considerably and tightened somewhat and the sum of the percentages for eased somewhat and eased considerably. The net percentages for the questions related to the contributing factors are defined as the difference between the percentage of banks reporting that a given factor contributed to a tightening and the percentage reporting that it contributed to an easing Chart 2: Factors which influenced banks credit stance Index, a rise denotes tightening Expectations regarding general economic activity Your banks ability to access market financing Monetary policy decisions Cost of funds and balance sheet constraint 2

3 5.1.2 Loans or credit lines to Households Similarly, the banks reported during this survey round, a tightening in loans to households for house purchase and consumer credit and this translated into an overall tightening in banks credit to households (see Chart 3). This tightened credit stance also largely reflected the tightened monetary policy stance (see Chart 3b). Chart 3: Credit Stance on Households Credit Index, a rise denotes tightening NPR (%) Overall stance to Households Loans for house purchase Consumer credit and other lending Loan Demand for Enterprises Demand for credit by large enterprises declined in net terms during this survey round, resulting in a decline in the overall enterprise demand for credit (see Chart 4). Demand for credit by small and medium enterprises however increased in net terms. Additionally, demand for long term credit dipped while that of short term loans increased in net terms during the survey period (see Chart 4). The decline in the overall enterprise demand for credit reflected the high cost of borrowing as a result of the tightened monetary policy stance. 3

This increase in households demand for consumer credit was to smoothen households consumption over the period.

Net loans and advances of GH billion as at the end of December 2015 represented an annual growth of 21.7 percent compared with the 44 percent growth in the corresponding period last year. Banks investment portfolio (bills and securities) increased, in yearonyear terms, by 18.6 percent to reach GH billion by the end of December 2015 compared with the 11.2 percent growth at the end of December 2014 (see Table 1). The banking sector total deposits liabilities as at end December 2015 was GH billion and showed an annual growth of 27.2 percent compared with 39.0 percent growth in December Banks borrowings recorded a slowdown in growth from 69.2 percent in December 2014 to 15.7 percent in December The slowdown in banks borrowings was driven mainly by the sharp decline in banks long term foreign borrowings and the contraction in short term foreign borrowing (see Table 1). Banks paid up capital also showed an annual growth of 20.7 percent to GH 3.2 billion by the end of December 2015, compared with 13.1percent growth in December 2014 (see Table 1). The pace in the yearonyear growth of shareholders funds slowed down from 38.4 percent in December 2014 to 25.0 percent in December The key developments in the banks balance sheet are provided in Table 1 below: 5

Contingent liabilities as a percent of total liabilities, decreased marginally to 13.6 percent in December 2015 from 15.1 percent in December 2014 (see Table 4).

The adjusted 10

11 NPL ratio (i.e. NPLs ratio minus the loss category) of 6.8 percent as at December 2015 also represented deterioration over the 5.6 percent recorded in December Similarly, the ratio of NPL net of provisions to capital deteriorated to 14.7 percent in December 2015 from 11.2 percent in December However, loan loss provision to gross loans increased to 6.3 percent in December 2015 from 4.6 in the same period in 2014 (see Table 5).

Households share of private sector credit and contribution to NPLs declined over the review period (see Table 6). 11

14 December 2015 mainly on account of the weaker credit delivery during the review period and loan writeoffs by some banks (see Chart 11).

Chart 12: Composition of Income (%) Percent Dec08 Dec09 Dec10 Dec11 Dec12 Dec13 Dec14 Dec15 Other Income Commissions & Fees Loans Investments Operational Efficiency Indicators of operational efficiency showed deterioration in 2015, mainly because of the energy challenges which increased the operational cost of banks and increased staff cost. Cost to income ratio increased to 84.1 percent in December 2015 from 76.4 percent in December 2014; while cost to total assets ratio increased to 15.2 percent in December 2015 from 12.6 percent in December Similarly, operational cost to total assets increased to 9.6 percent in December 2015 from 8.5 percent 16

The sharp drop was as a result of the relative stability in the exchange rate and a slow down in trade finance partly due to the ongoing fiscal consolidation by the government. 17

There was however a slowdown in the demand for short term external borrowing by banks in December Banks demand for domestic sources of borrowing also increased significantly over the period, relative to foreign sources of borrowing (see Chart 15).

The year 2015 was characterized by the licensing of two new banks, GN Bank and First National Bank (FNB). The entry of new banks into the industry engenders healthy competition, moderates concentration by major banks and improves access to financial services. The banking industry s performance is expected to pick up with the improvement in the energy supply; ongoing fiscal consolidation reflected in the lower Treasury bill rates; and relative stability in the exchange rate. 19
