 CBN governor pushes for global financial reforms


The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, has participated in a high-level forum organized by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG), marking the 80th anniversary of the Bretton Woods Conference. 

The prestigious event, held at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA, where the original post-World War II financial system was born, brought together a select group of global leaders to critically assess and shape the future of international financial systems.

A statement from the CBN on Sunday said: “Cardoso’s presence at this historic forum highlighted Nigeria’s and Africa’s growing influence in international economic discussions. His participation underscored his pivotal role as a representative of African interests, advocating for the continent’s financial needs and priorities in the global economic space”. 

With his vast experience as the former head of Citibank Nigeria and Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget in Lagos State, Cardoso was uniquely positioned to contribute to discussions on the evolving role of multilateral financial institutions.

The Bretton Woods at 80 Forum focused on key issues such as sustainable development, financial inclusion, climate resilience, and investment strategies aimed at fostering inclusive growth. 

The session provided a platform for brainstorming actionable strategies to address these pressing global challenges and to ensure that the IMF and World Bank evolve to meet the demands of today and the future. 

Cardoso’s participation in the Bretton Woods at 80 Forum is significant not just for Nigeria but for the entire African continent. His involvement in these critical discussions is a reflection of Africa’s growing influence in shaping global financial policies. As the Bretton Woods institutions face calls for reform, Cardoso ensured that the voices of developing economies were heard, particularly as Africa seeks greater participation in the governance of these institutions.

The forum, which gathered some of the world’s most renowned figures in international finance, economic policy, sustainability, and global governance, addressed the evolving role of the IMF and World Bank in a rapidly changing global economy. Among the key topics discussed were the impact of climate change on economies, the importance of financial inclusion in promoting economic stability, and the need for investment in resilient infrastructure to foster sustainable growth in emerging markets.

The exclusive gathering included former executives of major global financial institutions and leading figures shaping the future of markets, climate action, and social development. Together, these leaders explored the challenges and opportunities facing the global financial system, particularly in light of increasing global inequality, climate crises, and the shifting landscape of international trade.

As global financial institutions face unprecedented challenges, including calls for reform to address the needs of emerging markets and developing economies, the Bretton Woods at 80 Forum offered a crucial platform for reshaping the international financial architecture. The discussions during the forum centered on how the IMF and World Bank can become more responsive to the needs of regions like Africa, which have long been underrepresented in global financial governance.

Olayemi Cardoso’s role in these discussions was instrumental in pushing for a more inclusive global financial system that reflects the realities of both advanced and developing economies. His advocacy for Africa’s unique financial challenges, including the need for more accessible funding for infrastructure projects and greater support for financial inclusion, was recognized as key to the forum’s recommendations for reform.

Cardoso’s participation in the Bretton Woods at 80 Forum underscores his commitment to advancing Africa’s economic priorities on the global stage. His involvement in the forum is a testament to his leadership in central banking and his deep understanding of the economic reforms needed to build resilient financial systems in Africa. Cardoso’s contributions are expected to have a lasting impact on how the IMF and World Bank approach their support for emerging markets, particularly in areas such as financial inclusion and climate resilience.
