Ecobank Transnational Incorporated provided earnings guidance for the year 2015. The company expects to report materially lower profit for the year ended 2015, driven by a number of factors: The macroeconomic challenges faced by most African economies, lower crude oil prices, depreciating currencies, monetary and fiscal bottlenecks, due to global developments, negatively impacted expected revenue growth. Thus, revenue growth for 2015 will be below the company's target guidance. The company expect full year 2015 profit in US dollar terms to be lower than the nine-months to 2015 reported profit.
