The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Olayemi Cardoso, has assured senior U.S. business leaders and institutional investors of Nigeria’s renewed commitment to macroeconomic stability, policy consistency, and transparent market reforms.
Cardoso gave the assurance during engagements at the US–Nigeria Executive Business Roundtable, where he highlighted the country’s shift toward rules-based economic management and predictable policy frameworks, with particular emphasis on recent reforms in the foreign exchange market.
In a statement issued by the CBN’s Corporate Communications Department, the governor said Nigeria has firmly adopted orthodox monetary policy, alongside sweeping reforms in the banking sector and continued modernisation of the payments system to strengthen confidence in the financial sector.

The high-level forum, convened by the US Chamber of Commerce’s US-Africa Business Center, brought together policymakers, global investors, and corporate executives to examine Nigeria’s economic outlook. Discussions at the roundtable focused on macroeconomic stabilisation, regulatory clarity, and unlocking opportunities to scale bankable projects across key sectors of the Nigerian economy.
Cardoso noted that the reform agenda is aimed at restoring investor confidence, improving market transparency, and positioning Nigeria as a more attractive destination for long-term capital.
The engagement forms part of broader efforts by the CBN and the federal government to deepen international investor relations and mobilise private capital to support sustainable economic growth.
