The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has announced that the Federal Government (FG) plans to raise N5.8 trillion through Treasury Bills in the third quarter of 2026, marking a 241 percent increase compared to N1.76 trillion sold in the same period in 2025. This increase is part of the government's borrowing strategy for the 2026 budget, according to Vanguard Business.

New data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) indicates a significant increase of N17.4 trillion in federal government borrowing, which raises concerns about the growing public sector debt and the potential impact on private sector credit availability.

Nigeria's non-performing loans (NPLs) ratio increased to 9.85% in February 2026, nearly double the acceptable threshold of 5%.

The information was detailed in the CBN's February 2026 Economic Report released on Wednesday.

According to the Central Bank of Nigeria's monthly economic report for February 2026, net foreign exchange inflow into the economy decreased by 24 percent month-on-month, falling to $6.92 billion from $9.22 billion in January.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has intensified its liquidity sterilisation efforts, absorbing around N4.74 trillion from investors through three Open Market Operations (OMO) auctions held on June 22 and June 23, 2026. This move is part of the CBN's strategy to manage liquidity in the financial system during the final week of June 2026, according to Nairametrics.

A member of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to implement further actions aimed at lowering lending rates for both households and businesses. This appeal comes in the context of recent recapitalization efforts within the banking sector.
