The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Olayemi Cardoso, has reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to macroeconomic stability, rules-based economic management and transparent markets.

Cardoso made this known while engaging senior business leaders and institutional investors at the U.S.–Nigeria Executive Business Round table in Washington, D.C.

He underscored Nigeria’s reform agenda and renewed commitment to predictable policy frameworks, highlighting recent reforms in the foreign-exchange market, the adoption of orthodox monetary policy, ongoing banking-sector reforms and payments-system modernisation.

The Governor said these reforms are central to stabilising the economy and enabling sustainable, private-sector-led growth.

The round table, convened by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Africa Business Center, focused on macroeconomic stabilisation, regulatory clarity and opportunities to scale bankable projects across priority sectors of the Nigerian economy.
Commenting on the discussions, President of the U.S.-Africa Business Center, Kendra Gaither, said investors are increasingly focused on policy credibility and consistency.

“What investors are responding to today is clarity, clear rules, credible reforms, and a seriousness of purpose,” she said. “Nigeria’s message is increasingly one of discipline and opportunity, and that matters in a global economy seeking stability and predictability.”
