The desk brief
Published 20 June 2025, reporting shows five Nigerian banks have about $2.35 billion of Eurobond principal coming due between October 2025 and November 2026. The maturities include First Bank ($350m Oct 2025), Ecobank Nigeria ($300m Feb 2026), Access Bank ($1bn across Sep–Oct 2026), Fidelity ($400m Oct 2026) and UBA ($300m Nov 2026).
The concentrated $2.35bn of external bank redemptions compresses rollover and FX-demand risk into visible secondary markets, likely increasing near-term refinancing premia on Nigerian bank Eurobonds and amplifying sovereign–bank spread correlation if investors reprice external-liability risk against Nigeria sovereign yields. Pressure is conditional on banks' use of FX reserves, tender offers, or domestic funding substitutes.
