CBN Moves to Strengthen Nigeria-China Payments, Boost Investment

Cardoso said efficient payment systems could lift transaction volumes and investment as Nigeria and China seek closer financial cooperation.

  • On Wednesday, Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Olayemi Cardoso convened the Nigeria-China Cross-Border Finance Roundtable in Beijing at the Pan Pacific Beijing to address barriers to financial transactions between the two nations.
  • Cardoso linked the engagement to Nigeria's three years of substantial reforms, which he said strengthened confidence in the financial system and created a more predictable environment for investment and enterprise.
  • The roundtable, themed 'Strengthening the Nigeria-China Financial Corridor,' featured Deputy Governor for Economic Policy Philip Ikeazor and business leaders including Blue Diamond Group Chairperson Festus Mbisiogu and CIG Motors Chairperson Chief Diana Chen sharing practical challenges.
  • Engaging the leadership of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China , Cardoso proposed establishing designated teams to follow up on payment efficiency, settlement arrangements, and trade finance.
  • Cardoso defined the measure of success as creating conditions for 'more transactions, greater investment' rather than simply developing new financial mechanisms to enable a balanced financial relationship.
