CBN Governor Cardoso Reassures US Investors of Nigeria’s Macroeconomic Stability Drive

Senior business leaders and institutional investors were engaged by the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Olayemi Cardoso, at the US–Nigeria Executive Business Roundtable, where Nigeria’s renewed push for macroeconomic stability took centre stage.

At the high-level engagement, Cardoso underscored the country’s commitment to a rules-based economic order, transparent markets, and predictable policy direction, with particular emphasis on recent reforms in the foreign exchange market. PulseNets learnt that the discussions were aimed at restoring investor confidence and positioning Nigeria as a more credible and competitive investment destination.

According to details obtained by PulseNets, the CBN governor reiterated that the apex bank has fully embraced orthodox monetary policy while intensifying reforms across the banking sector and accelerating the modernisation of Nigeria’s payments system. These measures, he noted, are designed to strengthen financial stability and improve the efficiency of capital flows.

In a statement released by the Corporate Communications Department of the CBN and reviewed by PulseNets, Cardoso stressed that “the current reform trajectory is anchored on discipline, transparency, and consistency, all of which are essential for long-term macroeconomic resilience.”
