Скачать или смотреть Why Nigeria Must Align Monetary and Fiscal Policies for a Robust Financial System

Aligning Nigeria’s monetary and fiscal policies is critical for building a stable, resilient financial system that supports growth, curbs inflation, and protects Nigerians’ savings.
In this video, you’ll learn:
What monetary policy is, how the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) uses tools like interest rates and open market operations, and why price stability matters.
What fiscal policy is, how government spending and taxation influence jobs, inflation, and public services.
Why lack of coordination between the CBN and the Federal Government can fuel high inflation, currency volatility, and crowd out private-sector lending.
The problem of fiscal dominance and Ways and Means financing, and how excessive deficit financing can destabilise the financial system.
How better policy alignment can reduce systemic risk, strengthen banks, deepen intermediation, and boost investor confidence.
Recent steps by the CBN and the Federal Ministry of Finance to collaborate more closely, including joint committees, data-driven decisions, and inflation-targeting.
Practical reforms experts recommend, such as clearer legal mandates, formal coordination councils, transparency, and consistent public communication.
This video is ideal for students, policymakers, journalists, investors, and anyone trying to understand how Nigeria can achieve macroeconomic stability and a truly robust financial system.
