Nigeria-China financial cooperation development

Overview

Following the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Olayemi Cardoso reported improvements in Nigeria’s economic indicators, including a decline in headline inflation and an increase in external reserves to over $55 billion. Cardoso expressed intentions to strengthen financial cooperation with China, specifically addressing cross-border payments and settlement arrangements.

This initiative progressed to a high-level business and financial roundtable in Beijing themed ‘Strengthening the Nigeria–China Financial Corridor’. During the engagement, the Central Bank of Nigeria sought to identify barriers to financial flows and encouraged Chinese financial institutions to invest more broadly in Nigerian markets, particularly through naira-denominated instruments. The discussions aimed to balance the economic relationship by increasing investment flows and export proceeds into Nigeria.
