The Central Bank of Nigeria’s Governor, Olayemi Cardoso, will lead the country’s delegation to the 2025 World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings in Washington, D.C., which begin on October 13.

According to a statement from Presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, the delegation will also include Minister of State for Finance Doris Uzoka‑Anite and other senior government officials.
The World Bank has scheduled several major sessions during the event, such as the Development Committee Plenary on October 16 and the IMF’s International Monetary and Financial Committee meeting on October 17. Additional activities will feature regional briefings, press conferences, and policy forums that focus on global development, the world economy, and financial markets. These discussions are expected to provide valuable insights into the current state of the global economy and the challenges faced by nations worldwide.
The 2025 meetings arrive at a critical juncture, as countries grapple with a rapidly changing economic landscape. Financial leaders, policymakers, and experts from around the world will convene to discuss key issues and explore potential solutions. Nigeria’s participation is significant; the delegation, led by Governor Cardoso, will have the opportunity to engage with other leaders, share perspectives, and learn from international experiences as the nation seeks to strengthen its economic ties with other countries and global financial institutions.
All eyes will be on the key discussions and announcements that emerge from the meetings, which are expected to have a substantial impact on the global economy and financial markets. Economists, policymakers, and business leaders worldwide will closely monitor the outcomes as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of an evolving global economic environment.
