Mr. Olayemi Cardoso, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), attended a high-level forum organized by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG) to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the historic Bretton Woods Conference.

The event, held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA, brought together global leaders to evaluate and discuss the future of international financial systems.

The forum provided a platform for critical insights into shaping the evolving global economic landscape post-World War II.



A statement from the CBN on Sunday said: “Cardoso’s presence at this historic forum highlighted Nigeria’s and Africa’s growing influence in international economic discussions. His participation underscored his pivotal role as a representative of African interests, advocating for the continent’s financial needs and priorities in the global economic space”. 

With his vast experience as the former head of Citibank Nigeria and Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget in Lagos State, Cardoso was uniquely positioned to contribute to discussions on the evolving role of multilateral financial institutions.

The Bretton Woods at 80 Forum focused on key issues such as sustainable development, financial inclusion, climate resilience, and investment strategies aimed at fostering inclusive growth.
