The Central Bank of Nigeria’s Monetary Policy Committee has voted to raise the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 18.0%, according to reports.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele revealed this while reading the communiqu\u00e9 from the second MPC meeting of the year.<\/p>\n

Mr Emefiele told journalists at the conclusion of the two-day meeting in Abuja<\/a> that the committee voted to keep the asymmetric corridor at +100 and -500 basis points around the MPR.<\/p>\n

Analysts in the country predicted that the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Monetary Policy Committee would not raise lending rates at the end of the Monetary Policy Committee.<\/p>\n

The governor, however, stated that the slight increase is to offset the effects of inflation and other economic issues.<\/p>\n

The MPR has been on the rise since April 2022, when it was 11.50 per cent.<\/p>\n

The rate impacts lending and inflation rates, and, when jacked up, consequently affects upward movement of prices of goods and services.<\/p>\n

He said, The MPC committee voted to raise the MPR by 50 basis point to 18 per cent, retain asymmetric corridor at +100 and -500 basis points around the MPR.\u201d<\/p>\n
