NSIA Banque Côte d'Ivoire financial activities

NSIA Banque Côte d'Ivoire has engaged in both strategic financing and reported shifts in its financial performance. The bank announced a €100 million syndicated financing package, arranged by Citibank and involving international lenders such as FinDev Canada and KEXIM Global (Singapore) Ltd. This funding is designated to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with 30% of total funds earmarked for women-led businesses, and to fund solar energy projects for commercial and industrial buildings.

In its H1 2026 financial report, the bank noted a decline in net profit, which fell to 14.5 billion FCFA from 16.3 billion FCFA in the previous year. While net banking income increased by 6% to 53.7 billion FCFA, profitability was impacted by a higher net risk charge, which rose to 6.5 billion FCFA. The bank attributed this to a review of its loan portfolio and increased provisioning for credit and operational risks. Additionally, while customer deposits grew by 15%, outstanding loans decreased as seasonal business loans were repaid.
