CBN Investor Subscriptions for OMO Bills Reach N20.6 Trillion in September
What happened
Investors’ subscriptions for the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Open Market Operations (OMO) bills rose to N20.6 trillion in September 2026, up from N18.72 trillion in August. This represents a 10 per cent growth and was the highest recorded subscription level this year. The CBN stated that its recent adjustment of the Monetary Policy Rate was a deliberate reset to close the gap between its benchmark rate and actual money-market conditions.
