The CBN&#8217;s investigation also revealed an additional $2.4 billion in unverified obligations still under scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Tobias Adrian, the IMF\u2019s Financial Counsellor and Director of Monetary and Capital Markets, praised the CBN for its shift towards inflation targeting and exchange rate liberalization, describing the interest rate hikes as appropriate in light of Nigeria\u2019s inflationary struggles, which currently hover around 30%.<\/p>\n<p>However, the IMF&#8217;s optimistic outlook has not been universally shared. The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) and the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) have voiced concerns about the impact of these policies on the business environment.<\/p>\n<p>MAN warned that the rising interest rates, including the September increase to 27.25%, could hinder the growth of Nigeria\u2019s manufacturing sector by raising borrowing costs.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the LCCI expressed worries that while stabilizing the naira is vital, high interest rates could limit business expansion and sustainability, particularly in the non-oil sector, which is already facing rising costs and reduced access to credit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IMF praised the CBN for its monetary policies, including interest rate hikes, which have helped
