What the CBN is saying

He said, “There is the deployment of N756billion to 3.7million farmers cultivating over 4.6 million hectares of farmland under the Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP).

“The mobilisation of key stakeholders in the Nigeria economy through the CACOVID alliance which led to the provision of over N23billion in relief materials to affected households and the setup of 39 isolation centres.”

Nwanisobi also revealed that the CBN will introduce the eNaira, a digital counterpart of Nigeria’s legal tender with the same value as fiat naira, at a press conference.

In terms of minting and issuing of the eNaira, he added that the CBN is the central authority, while banks and other financial service providers will be involved in its distribution.

What you should know

  • Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), earlier revealed that the financing gap for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria is estimated to be over N617.3 billion each year.
  • The CBN in the past has made many efforts to boost access to credit for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Last month, the apex bank developed guidelines for the regulation and supervision of credit guarantee companies in Nigeria.
  • The guideline would serve as a regulatory foundation for credit guarantee firms seeking to minimize credit risk, promote lower interest rates on loans, and complement other regulatory measures targeted at promoting MSMEs.
