Monetary, Credit, Foreign Trade and Exchange Policy Guidelines For Fiscal Years 2018/2019

The conduct of monetary policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in 2018/2019 will continue to be anchored on the Medium- Term Framework. The need for such framework is based on the fact that monetary policy impacts its ultimate goal with a lag. 

A medium term framework would thus enable the Bank anchor expections and therefore, avoid over-reaction to temporary shocks and time inconsistency problems associated with frequent changes in policies.

The 2018/2019 Monetary, Credit, Foreign Trade and Exchange Policy Guidelines covers the period January 2018 to December 2019 and is designed to ensure both price stability and financial stability.
