CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
- BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The idea of establishing financing institutions was mooted soon after the establishment of the central bank of Nigeria on first july1959, after the bank failures of the early 1950’s. At this stage, it became obvious that there was an urgent need to establish financial institutions capable of providing medium and long-term capital to full up the serious gaps in the financing system of the economy.
In view of the dwindling position of the economy the government has at various times tried to correct through monetary and fiscal policies the downward movement s of the economy as well as to place the economy on a path of meaningful development.
Owing to the important roles agriculture and manufacturing sectors are expected to play in the economic development the government introduced to a lot of policies to encourage production in these sector for example. The stipulated sect oral distribution of loans to agriculture and manufacturing sector (preferred sectors) has been increasing over the years. The government executes the monetary policies through the years. The government executes the monetary policies through the banks of which commercial banks are the key players.
Generally, we know that the financial system of any society (of which the banking system is undoubtedly the most dominate), is the framework within which capital formation takes place through intermediation of the institutions. The participants in the banking system mobilize resources from the surplus units and channel some of the deficit economic units of any country for industrialization. The banking and financial system is also required to stimulate investment, and channel such to the priority areas of the economy, thus, it acts as a transmitter of a government economic policies for growth and development through its social responsibilities. This industry is a force to reckon with in the area of employment. Banks set apart handsome portion of their annual profits to finance worthy ventures that have spillover effects on the development efforts of the government of their local communities.
With the support and encouragement of the international bank for reconstruction and development (World Bank) the first indigenous development financial institution was established in January, 1964 in the name of national import database (NIDB). The establishment of this bank in January 1964 was foreshadowed by the incorporation in 1959 of a private investment company of Nigeria (ICON) as an industrial financial with the aim of providing long and medium term finance for industry.
