Nigeria’s key economic leaders have taken a significant step towards building a more stable economy through a high-level partnership. The Governor of the Central Bank, Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, hosted the Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, and the Chairman of the Nigerian Revenue Service, Dr. Zacch Adedeji, for a strategic meeting aimed at reinforcing fiscal and monetary collaboration for national development.
The meeting, announced on the official X accounts of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigerian Revenue Service, focused on ensuring that the government’s tax policies and banking rules work together to improve citizens’ lives. This collaboration is part of the government’s plan to ensure that every naira collected and spent benefits all Nigerians.
According to Mr. Cardoso, “When fiscal and monetary policy reinforce each other, you get predictability. And predictability is what investors price.” He emphasised the importance of clear communication, credible data, and strong coordination between fiscal and monetary authorities to preserve the country’s reform momentum and investor confidence.
This meeting is a testament to the government’s commitment to working towards a more stable and prosperous economic future for all Nigerians. It follows previous engagements at the 2025 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group in Washington D.C., where Nigeria rallied global backing for its economic reforms.
The meeting’s focus on fiscal-monetary coordination is crucial, as Cardoso emphasised that clear communication, credible data, and strong coordination between fiscal and monetary authorities are essential to preserving the country’s reform momentum and investor confidence.
