The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has rescheduled the 299th Monetary Policy Committee meeting earlier slated for February 17 and 18, 2025.
In a statement on Monday, the apex bank said the meeting will now be held on February 18 and 19, 2025.
The statement read, “The Central Bank of Nigeria has announced that the 299th meeting of its Monetary Policy Committee earlier scheduled for February 17 and 18, 2025, will now be held on Wednesday, February 18 and Thursday, February 19, 2025.”
The development ends speculations over the meeting dates, which arose due to delays by the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, in releasing the rebased Consumer Price Index.
With a new date confirmed, the statement noted that economic analysts are keenly watching to see if the committee will retain or increase the Monetary Policy Rate in response to prevailing economic conditions.
