CBN Announces 301st Monetary Policy Committee Meeting

ABUJA, Nigeria – July 17, 2025 — The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has officially issued a notice for the 301st meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), scheduled to hold in Abuja.

The meeting, which plays a crucial role in setting Nigeria’s economic and financial direction, is expected to convene key members of the committee, including the CBN Governor, Deputy Governors, and other top economic and financial policy experts. It will assess the state of the Nigerian economy and determine policy responses to emerging macroeconomic trends.

While the official agenda has not been fully disclosed, analysts anticipate that the committee will deliberate on pressing issues such as inflation trends, interest rate adjustments, exchange rate stability, and overall monetary policy strategy amid ongoing efforts to stabilize the naira and stimulate economic growth.

The meeting will also come at a time of heightened public interest following recent economic developments, including a marginal drop in the inflation rate, persistent currency volatility, and the suspension of recruitment in paramilitary agencies as part of cost-containment measures.

The MPC’s decisions from the meeting are expected to be announced at a press briefing at the end of the session. These outcomes will guide the monetary stance of the CBN and signal to investors, financial institutions, and the broader public the direction of economic management for the next quarter.

The Central Bank has urged stakeholders and market watchers to follow updates through its official communication channels.
