CBN shouldn’t reduce benchmark interest rate – Experts
Financial and economic experts have said a downward review of the Monetary Policy Rate by the Central Bank of Nigeria will no longer be necessary.
Private sector operators and some stakeholders, including experts have been clamouring for a reduction in the MPR to enable the real sector to access more credit from banks.
According to the experts, who spoke to The PUNCH correspondent in separate interviews, a review of the MPR will bring about undesired results, considering the fact that the country is recovering from recession, and preparing for elections.
