Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to macroeconomic stability, transparent markets and predictable policies as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, engaged senior business leaders and institutional investors at the U.S.–Nigeria Executive Business Roundtable.
The CBN said the roundtable, held on Monday in Washington, D.C., provided a platform for engagement on Nigeria’s reform trajectory and investment outlook amid heightened global economic uncertainty.
Speaking at the forum, Cardoso outlined the country’s ongoing reform agenda, stressing adherence to rules-based economic management and efforts to restore investor confidence.
He cited recent foreign exchange market reforms, the adoption of orthodox monetary policy measures, continued banking sector reforms and the modernisation of the payments system as key pillars supporting economic stability and sustainable, private-sector-led growth.
The Executive Business Roundtable was convened by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Africa Business Center and brought together policymakers, investors and business executives to examine macroeconomic stabilisation, regulatory clarity and opportunities to scale bankable projects across priority sectors of the Nigerian economy.
Discussions at the forum also highlighted the deepening commercial engagement between Nigeria and the United States, particularly in the context of policy credibility and long-term investment planning.
Commenting on the engagement, President of the U.S.-Africa Business Center at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Kendra Gaither, said investor interest is increasingly driven by consistency and clarity in policymaking.
“What investors are responding to today is clarity, clear rules, credible reforms and a seriousness of purpose. Nigeria’s message is increasingly one of discipline and opportunity, and that matters in a global economy seeking stability and predictability,” she said.
