The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, has hosted a high-level delegation from British International Investment (BII) as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s financial sector and attract sustainable long-term investments.
The delegation, led by BII Chair, Ms. Diana
Layfield, was accompanied by the British High
Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Richard
Montgomery. The engagement took place on
Wednesday, January 28, 2026, and focused on
deepening collaboration in support of financial
sector reforms and economic stability.
During the meeting, Mr. Cardoso reaffirmed the
Central Bank’s commitment to maintaining
macroeconomic stability through credible
monetary policy and a transparent, data-driven
regulatory framework. He noted that these
reforms are aimed at strengthening the resilience
of Nigeria’s banking system, improving financial
intermediation, and restoring investor
confidence.
The CBN Governor emphasised that sustained
policy discipline and regulatory clarity remain
central to the Bank’s strategy for positioning
Nigeria as an attractive destination for long-term
foreign and domestic investment.
The engagement with British International
Investment aligns with broader efforts by the
Central Bank to partner with global development
finance institutions and international
stakeholders to support economic growth,
financial inclusion, and private sector
development.
The Central Bank of Nigeria continues to pursue
strategic international partnerships that promote
stability, unlock capital flows, and support
Nigeria’s long-term economic transformation.
