The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN disclosed this in its Financial Stability Report for H1’25 noting that the stronger recovery performance contributed to a reduction in AMCON’s liabilities, even as cumulative recoveries climbed to N2.43 trillion, reflecting sustained efforts to strengthen the Corporation’s balance sheet.

Details of the report showed that total recoveries increased by 4.42 per cent to N2,426.35 billion from N2,323.68 billion in the preceding period. The recoveries comprised cash of N984.52 billion, other collections amounting to N1,291.95 billion, and asset forfeiture valued at N149.90 billion.

The “other collections” component covered proceeds from property and share sales, rental and dividend income, sale of bridge banks, as well as re-investment income, underscoring AMCON’s diversified recovery channels beyond direct cash inflows.

In addition, investment income from treasury operations rose by 2.08 per cent to N15.22 billion from N14.91 billion recorded in the preceding half, further supporting the Corporation’s revenue position.

On the liability side, the CBN report showed that the carrying value of AMCON’s liabilities declined by 7.84 per cent to N5,241.54 billion from N5,687.36 billion at end-December 2024, pointing to improved debt management and settlement of obligations.

However, AMCON’s total assets, net of impairment, decreased by 30.97 per cent to N1,267.66 billion from N1,836.33 billion in the second half of 2024, reflecting ongoing asset disposals and recoveries.
