 Trial and error financial techniques. Pump $$$ from foreign reserves to save a dying naira so people can applaud you for a week. Then watch the same $$$ rise in the next month and blame citizens for not buying unavailable local goods. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

[color=#1986BC] This helps to squeeze out and mop up any loose naira lying about in the economy for speculators to gamble on dollars.I hope this increases the momentum of the current crash of dollar from now to the nearest future and we don't have to beg France to use CFA anymore.[/color] 12 Likes 1 Share |

These clowns have clearly lost the plot, this is a time that they should be working to reduce interest rates and encouraging more people to go into productive businesses to help grow the economy. Instead the clueless charlatans are doing the exact opposite. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Good. The rates still need to go higher. I feel 28-30% will be ideal to bring inflation down. It's necessary they set an inflation target below 10% and achieve it. 6 Likes 1 Share |

adeabimbola700:It means interest rate has increased. It will scare people from borrowing. And those who borrow will have to increase their cost price which will increase the selling price, thereby making inflation higher. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

The CBN just raised interest rate, and surprisingly, people above me are applauding it. Nigerians are weird! With the new lending rate set at 25%, banks will grant loans at 32%. It's inevitable that those with variable interest loan would experience an increase in their monthly payments. This new rate doesnt only affect new loans, anyone with an existing loan should brace themselves for more expensive repayments. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Inspirer1:It will soak money from the system which will mean less money to buy goods and also forex, which will then reduce inflation and make the Naira appreciate. I feel the mpr should be around 28% at the very least. All the same, kudos to Cardoso. 24 Likes 5 Shares |

grandstar:Na all these textbook economics go land Nigeria into more trouble. How will interest rate make petrol to be sold at 195 naira? Lack of power supply means that Nigeria depend on petrol and diesel to run their businesses. This is a major factor of production that is causing inflation. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

It's probably high time for companies and individuals to recover their debts from those flexing with it, cos only few can borrow from banks now. Maybe CBN is also aware that some people borrow Naira to buy USD. 2 Likes |
