LAGOS, MARCH 15, 2018 – The central bank of Nigeria (CBN) will delay its next interest rate-setting meeting after a political spat over nominations for its Monetary Policy Committee, governor said on Thursday.
Governor Godwin Emefiele told CNBC the meeting scheduled for March 19-20 would be delayed by about seven to 10 days, or at the latest, until the first week of April.
Nigeria’s Senate will next week consider a report into nominations for the central bank’s monetary policy committee, its president said on Wednesday, a move that could end an impasse that has halted policy decisions.
