Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Olayemi Cardoso spoke at an International Monetary Fund seminar in Bangkok, addressing questions from Dan Katz regarding recent policy decisions in Nigeria. Cardoso explained that the September Monetary Policy Committee cut the benchmark interest rate by 350 basis points to 23% from 26.5% due to changing economic conditions. He noted that the Central Bank of Nigeria is transitioning toward formal inflation targeting and has increased transparency in its committee deliberations.
