Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Olayemi Cardoso, has engaged with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank to develop actionable strategies to tackle issues of inclusive growth, sustainable development, financial inclusion, and climate resilience in Africa.
Cardoso participated in the high-level Bretton Woods at 80 Forum, where he represented Africa’s interests on the global financial stage. He said the strategies will equip the continent to meet the demands of the present and future.
The forum, organised by IMF and World Bank Group (WBG), brought together a select group of global leaders at the historic Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to mark the 80th anniversary of the original conference that established the post-war global financial system.
Cardoso’s participation highlighted Nigeria and the continent’s growing influence in international economic dialogue, according to a statement from the central bank.
The event addressed issues around investment, inclusive growth, climate resilience, and the evolving role of multilateral financial institutions in a rapidly changing world.
The platform also offered a critical opportunity for reshaping the international financial architecture to meet the needs of emerging markets and developing economies.
