Addressing the House of Representatives in Abuja, Cardoso attributed this anticipated decrease to the inflation-targeting strategies implemented by the federal government, coupled with improvements in agricultural productivity and alleviation of global supply chain pressures.
He emphasized the importance of collaboration between monetary and fiscal authorities in achieving price stability, outlining the CBN’s commitment to clear communication and policy coordination to stimulate investment and foster job creation.
Acknowledging challenges in the foreign exchange market, Cardoso highlighted increased demand pressures and currency depreciation. He identified speculative forex activities, inadequate supply due to delayed remittance of crude oil earnings, capital outflows, and fiscal liquidity as contributing factors.
To address exchange rate volatility, Cardoso outlined a comprehensive strategy aimed at enhancing liquidity, unifying FX market segments, clearing outstanding obligations, and enforcing regulatory measures such as the Net Open Position limit.
Despite short-term challenges, Cardoso reassured stakeholders that these measures would yield positive economic outcomes, emphasizing their role in creating a more market-oriented exchange rate mechanism, boosting foreign exchange inflows, stabilizing the currency, and curbing inflationary pressures.
The CBN governor’s optimistic projections offer hope for economic stability and resilience amidst ongoing challenges, signaling a concerted effort to address fundamental issues and foster sustainable growth in Nigeria’s macroeconomic landscape.
