TayserMahiri:
Some things don't make sense. For instance asking which is the biggest bank is a useless question. All banks need to do is provide adequate services and be innovative. The bigness is useless. Same to GDP, rail and roads. A massive country would have massive banks by virtue of pop but still be poor compared to a smaller country with smaller banks and fewer roads. We have tried to explain this per capita thing for eons but it seems you guys just will never get the concept. Let's debate about how well whatever is there serves the purpose.
The exception would be when comparing a country like Kenya and Tanzania where the expected fails to hold. E.g Kenya has bigger banks n bigger everything despite being less populous and smaller in landmass. If big is useless, then IMF and WB will not be releasing which is the "biggest" list every year. Not everything is measured in per capita, GDP per capita, PPP per capita, military spending per capita e.t.c good and fine. But when you start measuring Bank assets per capita, Music sector per capita, Airport capacity per capita, road network per capita, rail network per capita, everything per capita, you are going out of line. While population and land mass influence building of roads and rail, their are many other factors overlooked like trade, government policy e.t.c Do you know that one of the main reason why US interstate was built was for easy mobility of soldiers? |

It's not a pretty good indicator because there are loopholes in it.
1. If it's a good indicator, why is it not use by economists around the world, because this is the first time I am hearing of it.
2. Not all Bank Assets are in a single country. For example, GT Bank is present in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Gambia, Ghana e.t.c UBA in 20 African countries including Kenya, Ghana, e.t.c. Firstbank, Access Bank all have their assets spread across many countries. How do their assets in those countries serve Nigeria?
3. (I might be wrong on this though because I couldn't find the total Bank assets of Indonesia) but from indications, Indonesia has a superior Bank assets than SA, but SA leads in ratio to population. Will you say SA banking is superior to Indonesia's?
4. Going by your logic, we also have to factor in the number of customers (population) of a particular Bank (country) to determine how superior they are because banks only invest in (lend to) their customers.
5. Your argument is simplistic because it does not matter how big the assets of a banks in a country is if the masses can not access the money. And to determine how masses can access the money, you factor in borrowing power of customers, lending power of banks e.t.c.
6. And to determine the borrowing power of customers, you factor in minimum wage, income, expenses e.t.c at the end of the you have a very skewed result.
7. Banking depth, Banking transparency and regulation, Capacity of local investors, Macroeconomic opportunity and Enforceability e.t.c are the metrics mostly considered when measuring which banking sector is better while Bank assets is the only metric use to determine which banking sector is bigger/larger.

Okay let clear this some basics first. 1) Banking assets - we are looking at in-country data has compiled by Nigeria and Kenya central banks. GT Bank Kenya bank assets will be under Kenya - not under Nigeria. You need to ask Central Bankers why they analyze banking sector assets amongst other metrics. 2) Pretty good indicator - doesn't mean the only indicator - but trust me - the bank strength or arsenal is it's assets. Even if you banks had the best intentions, everyone had a bank account, and name all the other indicators - all that will come to cropper without strong balance sheet to lend or invest the money. 3) You're only arguing because Nigeria banking assets clearly exposes your over-cooked economy. You see South Africa has 370B banking assets. Nigeria which claim to be bigger has 100B. Kenya has 40B. That is all the argument is all about. 4) Population is factored everywhere we are talking about human activities. How would we not factor that? Long story short - Kenya beat Nigeria in banking sector - you look for any other indicators - including Financial Access - and you'll not argue. And this is one of the sector Nigeria is doing good after the reforms(forced mergers & acquisition) of 2000s. Ibrahimanis:

Choose a metric of your liking and prove that Nigeria has the best banking sector. What of metrics like a banks adaptivity to technology talking of new trends like mobile banking fusion with the traditional banking system.Sophistication is something that Nigeria hasn't masterd yet. Your banking is more traditional and mainly relies on its larger customer base as its main pillar. Without creativity,Kenyan banks would be long dead with them being in a country that is the world's leader in mobile money and banking (we move tens of billions of US dollars through mobile money)and which also potentially has Africa's largest SACCO movement. The Kenya's financial sector is so sophisticated that every player needs to be on toes to get the market pie.With the quick growth of mobile money and SACCOs,I thought Kenyan banks will be edged out,I was wrong! The banks have been resilient even through the rate capping move by the CBK. Do you think that the Nigeria's financial system enjoys such sophistication that would threaten their banks out of business? A simple case like the state of your insurance industry would tell much about your financial sector and the gaps that need to be filled! Ibrahimanis:

Small banks are big risk - they can collapse any time - like Imperial or Chase bank. So I'd say CBK should continue to raise the capital requirement - and hopefully we will have big enough banks to be able to fund big ticket projects. Jonraid: Are mergers the next big thing?
