Across global markets, information and communication technology (ICT) is facilitating the process of socio-economic developments of nations. ICT has offered new ways of exchanging information, and transacting businesses, efficiently and cheaply. It has also changed the dynamic architectures of financial, entertainment and communication industries and provided better means of using the human and institutional capabilities of countries in both the public and private sectors.
The impact has been consequential: ICT is rapidly moving nations like Nigeria towards knowledge-based economic structures and information societies, comprising networks of individuals, firms and states that are linked electronically and in interdependent relationships. From Lagos to Abuja, Kano to Owerri, and indeed across the nation, ICT has provided enormous productivity gains, anchoring efficiency in production and business processes. Indeed, the penetration of ICT has driven efficient allocation of the factors of production, powering and enabling new industrial systems.
One major change is the capacity to enumerate and validate the identity of citizens through the highly successful Bank Verification Number. Every Nigerian citizen that wants to operate a bank account is required to obtain this number which involves capturing biometrics data along with other personal data. This number is evolving a new credit system which would support the growth of asset financing through verifiable sources of income for both public and private sector customers.
Our data shows that asset and equipment financing sector (without SME funding) will hit N2.2 trillion by 2020 in Nigeria.
As Africa’s largest economy and the most populous with GDP of $510 billion and excess of 180 million people, Nigeria is poised for growth in finance, energy, telecommunications, entertainment and indeed all key sectors of modern commerce and industry. It has fully recovered from recession, and as the global crude oil price accelerates, government spending would improve. The consumer confidence is already high and the sentiment generally from IMF to World Bank is that Nigeria is poised for long-term growth.
One sector would follow this trajectory: asset financing sector as Nigeria redesigns towards a credit-based economy. One of our clients, Amaecom, is a national leader in this space. You can manage your cashflow better by giving it a call. It does the following:
