The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has resumed the publication of key economic reports, underscoring its commitment to transparency and accountability within the Nigerian economy.
In a statement released on Tuesday and signed by Acting Director of Corporate Communications, Hakama Ali, the CBN announced that it will once again publish reports such as the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), Business Expectation Survey (BES), Inflation Expectation Report, and other critical macroeconomic indicators.
These reports are designed to provide stakeholders with timely and accurate insights into Nigeria’s economic performance.
“The revival of these publications is part of the ongoing data enhancement initiative within the CBN,” the statement said. “It aims to ensure that the public, policymakers, and the business community have access to essential economic indicators.”
The PMI, which evaluates the health of the manufacturing, services, and agricultural sectors, along with business and household expectations reports, are highlighted as vital tools for understanding Nigeria’s economic landscape.
“These reports offer valuable insights into the perceptions and outlooks within the business and household sectors, respectively,” the CBN noted.
“This initiative is part of the Bank’s broader efforts to enhance transparency, promote informed decision-making, and support economic growth.”
The CBN further mentioned that these reports will be periodically released on its official website, ensuring broad accessibility.
The Bank encourages economists, analysts, investors, the media, and the general public to utilize these reports to gain a deeper understanding of Nigeria’s economic dynamics and to contribute to a more inclusive economic dialogue.
