The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has expressed support for Nigeria’s Single Window (NSW) Project, an evolving initiative designed to streamline trade processes, reduce bottlenecks, enhance transparency, and increase government revenue.
IMF’s backing for the NSW project was conveyed on Thursday in Abuja by its Technical Assistance Advisor for Revenue Administration 2, Marco Antonio.
Antonio led a delegation from the IMF Fiscal Affairs Department to a meeting with the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun.
The meeting highlighted IMF’s strong support for the Single Window Trade Project, which aims to streamline trade processes, increase government revenue, and enhance the ease of doing business.
Antonio praised the NSW project, among other reforms, and sought to know how the multilateral lender could provide further assistance for its successful implementation.
According to a statement released by the finance ministry’s Director, Information and Public Relations, Mohammed Manga, the minister disclosed that the project was well underway, with approvals secured, a dedicated team in place, and a structured implementation plan.
