The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, met with the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, on the sidelines of the 2025 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Cardoso, who is leading the Nigerian delegation, engaged with the IMF Chief during the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) meeting, a key platform where global financial leaders discuss the outlook of the world economy and advise the IMF on the direction of its work.
The meeting comes as Nigeria continues to implement critical fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilizing its currency, controlling inflation, and attracting foreign investment. The IMFC session provided an opportunity for the CBN Governor to engage with international partners on strategies for enhancing economic stability and sustainable growth in Nigeria and the broader sub-Saharan African region.
Governor Cardoso has been actively participating in various high-level sessions throughout the Annual Meetings, where he has emphasized the progress of Nigeria’s reforms, citing improvements in foreign exchange market turnover and a commitment to monetary policy transparency.
