NDB seeks P400m cash injection

Friday, September 16, 2016

The National Development Bank (NDB) says it is in talks with government to ask for a P400 million cash injection to keep the business afloat amid rising non-performing loans (NPLs). The troubled financial institution plans to present a restructuring plan shortly and hopes an improved balance sheet will put it in a better position for funding.

In a presentation to the Parliamentary Committee on Statutory Bodies and Pubic Enterprises, NDB chief executive officer, Lorato Morapedi said due to the macro and micro economic effects, 38% of the bank’s loan book fell into non-performing loans status.

She said this negatively affected the bank’s liquidity position, noting that in order to improve performance of the portfolio, there is need for funding support.
