As Nigeria continues its reform journey, the 2025/2026 economic agenda now faces a defining test – translating well-intentioned reforms into measurable outcomes that drive sustainable, inclusive growth. This panel will explore how fiscal, monetary, and institutional reforms can shift from policy to performance, powering productivity, attracting long-term capital, and ensuring prosperity that reaches every segment of society.

The session will provide insights into fiscal, monetary, and regulatory reforms, with discussions centering on their impact on economic stability, private sector expansion, and social development, i.e. resources for navigating Nigeria’s dynamic economic environment. 

Key topics to be discussed:

- Monetary Policy & Price Stability: Examining foreign exchange reforms, inflation control, and their role in restoring market confidence.
- Governance & Institutional Reforms: Embedding transparency, accountability, and effective coordination across economic institutions.
- Sectoral Growth Drivers: Unlocking opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing, and renewable energy to spur diversification and job creation.
