With the meeting date now confirmed, economic analysts and financial market stakeholders are turning their attention to the CBN’s next move on the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR).
Given the current economic trends, the key question remains whether the committee will maintain the interest rate or opt for an increase to curb inflationary pressures.
The MPC meeting remains a critical event for Nigeria’s economic outlook, influencing decisions on interest rates, inflation control, and broader macroeconomic stability.
