According to the apex bank governor, tightening the rate will reduce inflation, which is currently set at 21%.
Emefiele explained that the bank supports the Supreme Court’s decision because the currency in circulation (redesigned naira) is approximately one trillion naira.
He stated that the central bank will continue to inject new currency into the system, but with caution.
