The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cut its benchmark interest rate by 350 basis points to 23% on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. This reduction has caused Nigeria's interest-rate differential to fall behind Ghana's, making Ghana a more attractive destination for portfolio capital inflows. The development erodes Nigeria's carry-trade advantage over its West African neighbor. The rate cut is part of the CBN's monetary policy decisions.
