Nigerian banks

Nigeria's banks have won approval to restructure margin loans extended to stock market traders. They will now avoid having to recognise the losses suffered in recent stock market declines as non-performing loans. The extension is up to the end of 2009.

The high level of margin lending in Nigeria has hit the banking sector shares hard in recent weeks.
