The MPR serves as the baseline interest rate within the Nigerian economy.
He said the 11 MPC members present also voted to retain the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) at 45 per cent for commercial banks and 16 per cent for merchant banks, maintaining current liquidity levels.
Cardoso added that the Liquidity Ratio remained at 30 per cent, while the Standing Facilities Corridor was retained at +50/-450 basis points around the MPR to guide market stability and financial operations.
