Review of Group’s fi nancial performance (continued)<br />

DEPOSITS<br />

<strong>UBA</strong> closed the year with a deposit base of N1.25 trillion, slipping by 2% from<br />

N1.33 trillion recorded in 2008. A CAGR analysis shows 17% over the last three years.<br />

The slip in deposits resulted from the Bank’s decision to cut back on costly deposits<br />

as interest rates came under pressure. This initiative also helped in improving our net<br />

interest margins during the year.<br />

LOANS AND ADVANCES<br />

Our gross loans <strong>and</strong> advances increased 44% to N643 billion, up from N445 billion<br />

in FY08. We increased our loan portfolio by carefully selecting highly rated obligors<br />

within the key sectors of the economies in which we operate. By this loan portfolio<br />

growth, we achieved a loan-to-deposit ratio of 51.7% as against 33.4% in FY08. We<br />

continue to reinforce our risk management capacity, as we look to further improve<br />

on this ratio in FY10.<br />

CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO (CAR)<br />

Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) dropped 700 basis points to 16.3% in <strong>2009</strong> (6.3%<br />

above the regulatory minimum of 10%). This was attributable mainly to the growth<br />

in our risk weighted assets, as we increased our loan portfolio as well as long-term<br />

investments in our African roll out. We however, look to shore up our capital in<br />

FY10 as we commence the implementation of our fi ve-year hybrid capital funding<br />

programme.<br />
