The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has renewed its commitment macroeconomic stability amid heightened global economic uncertainty.
The CBN governor, Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, stated this on Monday in Washington, D.C. at the U.S.–Nigeria Executive Business Roundtable, where he engaged senior business leaders and institutional investors.
Cardoso underscored the significance of the country’s ongoing reform agenda, saying Nigeria was commitment to rules-based economic management, transparent markets, and predictable policy frameworks.
He highlighted the impact of recent reforms in the foreign-exchange market, the adoption of orthodox monetary policy, ongoing banking-sector reforms, and payments-system modernisation as central to stabilising the economy and enabling sustainable, private-sector-led growth.
Convened by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Africa Business Center, the discussions at the roundtable focused on macroeconomic stabilisation, regulatory clarity, and opportunities to scale bankable projects across priority sectors of the Nigerian economy – reinforcing deepening commercial ties between Nigeria and the United States.
The President of the U.S.-Africa Business Center at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Kendra Gaither,
noted that investors were increasingly focused on policy credibility and consistency.
“What investors are responding to today is clarity, clear rules, credible reforms, and a seriousness of purpose. Nigeria’s message is increasingly one of discipline and opportunity, and that matters in a global economy seeking actively for stability and predictability,” she said.
