CBN, in a statement on Monday, said the adjustment comes amid speculations surrounding the meeting date, fueled by delays from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in releasing the rebased Consumer Price Index (CPI).
“With a date now fixed, the attention of economic watchers is focused on the CBN’s MPC to ascertain if there will be a hold or hike in the monetary policy rate (MPR), going by current trends,” it added.
