The Central Bank of Nigeria’s Monetary Policy Committee has raised the country’s interest rate by 25 basis points to 27.50 percent in November from 27.25 percent in September 2024.

The Governor of CBN, Olayemi Cardoso, disclosed this during a press conference on Tuesday after the 298th MPC meeting in Abuja.

“The Committee was unanimous in its agreement to raise the monetary policy rate by 25 basis points to 27.50 percent,” he said.

According to him, the decision to raise the country’s monetary policy rate is to tackle inflation, which stood at 33.87 percent in October 2024.
