CBN Expected to Hold Interest Rate Steady for Most of 2025

The Central Bank of Nigeria's Monetary Policy Committee is expected to maintain its current stance for most of 2025, according to a projection by Meristem Securities.

The Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) Monetary Policy Committee (MPR) is expected to maintain a hold stance for most of 2025, according to projections from asset management firm Meristem Securities. This implies that the CBN may choose not to adjust interest rates or implement other monetary policy measures in response to economic conditions this year. The forecast suggests that the economy's performance and inflationary pressures will be closely monitored by the MPR, with adjustments made as needed. If confirmed, this stance would indicate a relatively stable economic outlook for 2025.
