Sources: 13. Developments: 2. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Ministry of Finance have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to institutionalize coordination between monetary and fiscal policies. Signed in Abuja by CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso and Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele, the agreement establishes a formal framework for regular consultation and information exchange regarding debt issuance, liquidity forecasting, and macroeconomic analysis. The initiative aims to ensure that government spending and borrowing do not conflict with the CBN’s efforts to manage inflation, liquidity, and exchange rate stability. By aligning these policies, the framework seeks to provide more consistent directions for businesses and investors. This coordination occurs alongside broader economic reforms, including exchange-rate liberalization and the removal of fuel subsidies. While the International Monetary Fund has noted these reforms have strengthened macroeconomic stability, inflationary pressures remain a significant concern for the population. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: Nigeria formalizes fiscal and monetary policy coordination Nigeria's Finance Ministry and Central Bank have signed an MoU to coordinate fiscal and monetary policies, aiming to stabilize the economy and curb inflation through structured institutional cooperation. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nigeria-formalizes-fiscal-and-monetary-policy-coordination ### 2026-09-18: Nigeria's CBN and Finance Ministry sign MOU to coordinate economic policy Nigeria's CBN and Ministry of Finance have signed an MOU to coordinate fiscal and monetary policies as the Monetary Policy Committee prepares for its 307th meeting to decide on interest rates. 12 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/central-bank-of-nigeria-expected-to-maintain-265-interest-rate --- Cite as: Nigeria fiscal and monetary policy coordination.
