The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Olayemi Cardoso, led the Nigerian delegation, which included the CBN Deputy Governor (Economic Policy), Dr Muhammad Sani Abdullahi, to the Committee of Governors Meeting recently held in Monrovia, Liberia.
In a post on X, the CBN said “The meeting formed part of statutory engagements jointly organised by the Economic Community of West African States alongside the West African Monetary Agency, the West African Monetary Institute, and the West African Institute for Financial and Economic Management.
The consultations brought together financial regulators and economic policymakers across the sub-region to assess convergence benchmarks required for launching the unified currency.”
This meeting was held as a continuation of the joint Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)/West African Monetary Agency (WAMA), West African Monetary Institute (WAMI), and West African Institute for Financial and Economic Management (WAIFEM) Statutory Meetings.
It brought together representatives from ECOWAS, WAMA, WAMI, and WAIFEM to further discuss the proposed single currency for West Africa.
