The World Bank has expressed support for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Yemi Cardoso, and his recent exchange rate unification policy. According to Indermit Gill, the World Bank Vice President and Chief Economist, the policy is an essential step toward Nigeria’s economic recovery, highlighting it as a necessary and effective approach.
Gill commended Cardoso’s strategy to unify the exchange rate and tackle inflation, emphasizing that the policy aligns with global economic standards. He noted that the CBN’s decision to increase interest rates by over 800 basis points in the last nine months was a crucial move to stabilize the economy. The World Bank’s endorsement comes at a time when the naira is trading at over N1,500 in the official market and nearing N1,700 in the black market.
The support from the World Bank is significant as it underscores the importance of Cardoso’s policy direction amidst Nigeria’s challenging economic environment. With inflation at high levels and the naira depreciating, the CBN’s approach aims to create a more stable and predictable foreign exchange system, which is seen as a critical step for long-term economic recovery.
Gill’s remarks highlight the global institution’s confidence in Nigeria’s monetary policy strategy and its potential to attract foreign investments. By addressing inflation and ensuring a unified exchange rate, the CBN aims to build investor confidence and stabilize the market, which could, in turn, lead to economic growth and improved foreign exchange reserves.
The World Bank’s endorsement reinforces the CBN’s commitment to reform, signaling international approval of Cardoso’s efforts. As the Nigerian economy navigates these reforms, the backing of such a significant financial body adds weight to the CBN’s initiatives.
Cardoso’s policy continues to draw attention, with many economists and market watchers keeping a close eye on its implementation and impact. While the road ahead remains challenging, the World Bank’s approval indicates optimism for Nigeria’s economic future under the current leadership.
