CBN Reduces Interest Rate On Loans, Cuts MPR To 11.5%

The Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) has been reduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), leading to a reduction in loan interest. The CBN reduced the MPR to 11.5% from 12.5%.

The MPR is used to determine the interest rate on loans.

While the CBN reduced the MPR, the apex bank retained the CRR at 27.5%, as the CBN disclosed that structural policies are behind the inflationary pressures and not monetary policies, the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, revealed.
