Skye bank is set to test the appetite for Nigerian Fl syndicated loans as it looks to refinance a syndicated facility of US$84m that matures on September 18. Skye will be the first Nigerian bank to tap the market this year - Zenith signed a two-year US$300m murabaha facility in December. However, depressed oil prices and the delay in selecting a cabinet following President Buhari's election in May mean bankers are uncertain what the outcome of the Skye deal will be. "Nigerian banks are in a challenging environment - most banks are not looking to extend to second tier credits," said one syndicated loans banker. "Whether the banks involved all just roll over is yet to be seen; market perception of Nigeria is not good." Skye's one-year deal signed last September and was arranged by Mashreqbank, with Banque Marocaine du Commerce Exterieur, Banque SBA, Mauritius Commercial Bank and United Bank acting as arrangers, and Bank Al Habib and Diamond Bank as managers.
