By Patience Ikpeme
In a move aimed at solidifying economic stability, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, today held discussions with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) leadership. The meeting follows the recent release of May 2025 inflation figures, which show a moderation to 22.97%.
The core of the discussions centered on strategies to not only sustain but also accelerate this downward trend in inflation. Market watchers anticipate that continued price stability is crucial for bolstering investor confidence and encouraging the private sector to drive economic expansion.
The Ministry of Finance indicated that this engagement underscores its dedication to collaborative economic management. This signals a renewed focus on ensuring policy coherence between fiscal and monetary authorities, a key factor in fostering sustainable growth and development within the Nigerian economy.
