The Central Bank of Nigeria cut the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) from 26.5 per cent to 23 per cent during its 307th Monetary Policy Committee meeting. Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Olayemi Cardoso stated that this policy reset is an operational realignment intended to strengthen how monetary policy operates. Cardoso also disclosed that losses from Nigeria’s multiple foreign exchange windows amounted to approximately three per cent of the country’s gross domestic product.

The rate cut signals a response to the business environment, which manufacturers welcomed as a step in the right direction. However, manufacturers noted that prime lending rates at commercial banks remain significantly higher than the new MPR. The Central Bank of Nigeria stated that its reforms have improved Nigeria’s macroeconomic conditions.
