The ratings agency cited enhanced policy coordination and stronger monetary management as reasons for its revised assessment. Governor Cardoso stated that the central bank's actions, including tighter monetary policy and improved foreign exchange operations, had fostered greater economic stability and investor confidence. He added that this international recognition should motivate continued efforts to support growth and macroeconomic resilience.
This development positions Nigeria more favorably for future credit assessments and signals improving conditions to the international investment community.
