IMF urges Nigeria to implement ‘coherent and credible’ economic policies -spokesman
The International Monetary Fund has urged Nigeria to step up its economic reform efforts before the opportunity for reforms becomes more limited.
The multilateral Institution said “Urgency is needed in implementing a coherent and credible package of monetary, fiscal and structural policies as the window for bold reforms is closing as the 2019 elections are approaching fast,” IMF spokesman Gerry Rice said at a regular news briefing with reporters.
Rice also confirmed that the Nigerian authorities have not approached the global lender about a program but said the IMF “stands ready to help should the country make a request for financial assistance.”
