The Central Bank of Nigeria has scheduled its 304th Monetary Policy Committee meeting for Monday and Tuesday, February 23–24, 2026.
The announcement was made in a circular posted on the CBN’s official website on Monday.
The meeting is set against the backdrop of the bank’s ongoing efforts to control inflation, stabilise the foreign exchange market, and bolster the country’s macroeconomic stability.
The MPC is the CBN’s top policy-making body, tasked with formulating monetary and credit policies to maintain price stability.
Using key tools like the Monetary Policy Rate, Cash Reserve Ratio, and Liquidity Ratio, the committee steers interest rate levels and sets the overall monetary course for the economy.
The committee, which includes the CBN Governor, Deputy Governors, Board members, and appointed external members, meets periodically to assess key economic indicators such as inflation, GDP growth, and exchange rate trends before making policy decisions.
The CBN confirmed that the two-day meeting will take place at its Abuja headquarters, with sessions scheduled for both days.
The apex bank provided the schedule and venue details in its official notice.
“The 304th meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is scheduled to hold as follows,” the CBN said.
“Day 1: Monday, February 23, 2026 – Time: 10.00 a.m.”
“Day 2: Tuesday, February 24, 2026 – Time: 8.00 a.m.”
The circular states that the meeting will be held in the MPC Meeting Room on the 11th floor of the CBN Head Office in Abuja.
The upcoming session comes after a series of policy measures aimed at maintaining a relatively tight monetary stance in Nigeria.
Key decisions from the 303rd MPC meeting set the stage for expectations ahead of the 304th session.
The committee largely maintained policy continuity, citing ongoing concerns over persistent inflation and the stability of the financial system.
The Monetary Policy Rate was kept at 27.00 percent.
The Cash Reserve Ratio remained at 45.00 percent for Deposit Money Banks and 16.00 percent for Merchant Banks.
