MPC Meeting: All Eyes on CBN as Analysts Predict Fresh Rate Cut

As Nigeria's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) prepares to meet on November 24-25, analysts across the financial sector are forecasting another policy rate cut, citing easing inflation, stronger macroeconomic fundamentals, and improved foreign exchange stability. The meeting comes just weeks after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cut the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) by 50 basis points to 27%, marking the first rate reduction in nearly ten consecutive policy meetings under Governor Olayemi Cardoso. Stakeholders say this week's meeting will be a decisive test of the CBN's confidence in Nigeria's emerging disinflation trend. Inflation eased to 16.05% in October—down from 18.02% in September—following the CPI rebasing exercise and improvements in food supply, FX liquidity, and general price stability.
