In recognition of the importance of the financial system as a catalyst for economic growth and national development, a regulator led collaborative process to enable the banking sector to participate more effectively in the Nigerian real sector was initiated at the 2009 Bankers Committee Inaugural Retreat in Calabar. The annual retreat provides a platform for the banking sector to articulate and strategize on ways to boost lending to the most critical sectors of the economy for sustainable growth. Collaborative programs and initiatives of the Bankers' Committee have over time delivered tangible improvements to the nation's payments and financial system, as well as improved credit to the critical sectors of the economy. The 2024 Retreat is the fourteenth in a series of coordinated strategic reviews to refine the role of the Banking sector in the nation's economic development and identify imperatives and opportunity for collaborative action by licensed deposit money banks.

With the theme “Contract and Commitment to National Development and Economic Growth” this year's deliberations by a resurgent, stronger banking system will focus on specific, actionable opportunities for collaboration to enable and catalyze national development and economic growth.
