03:30am, Friday, 25'th Feb 2022 BusinessDay
Nineteen of the biggest listed firms on the Nigerian Exchange who have posted their full-year financial statements were able to navigate the tough macro-economic space in 2021, as their profits outperformed the inflation rate, according to BusinessDay’s analysis of their financial statements. These companies faced a myriad of challenges in 2021 – from currency-induced inflationary pressures, which led to an increase in the cost of production, to falling purchasing power, which curbed consumer demand. The 19 companies analysed recorded average profit growth of 50.02 percent to N30.28 trillion, surpassing the average inflation rate of 16.98 percent recorded in the year 2021. Analysts say this was made possible through excellent, proactive and innovative solutions and ideas in achieving set goals and objectives, as well as the application of ingenious management practices and prudent management of resources. “Businesses are innovating around inflationary pressures to break-even,” the immediate past director-general of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Muda Yusuf said.
