CBN Tighten Fintech Regulation, Banking, Inflation, Banking Stability, Payments Infrastructure Modernisation Reform In 2026

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has prioritised banking system stability, tighter fintech regulation, inflation control, and payments infrastructure modernisation as key pillars of its 2026 reform agenda.

This is according to a statement issued by the CBN Governor, Mr. Olayemi Cardoso on X (formerly Twitter), outlining the apex bank’s focus areas for the year ahead.

The agenda signals a continuation of the Bank’s reform-driven posture, with emphasis on restoring confidence in the financial system, strengthening macroeconomic stability, and supporting sustainable economic growth.

Cardoso said strengthening the banking system through rigorous supervision and improved corporate governance remains central to the CBN’s priorities, as a resilient banking sector is key to maintaining public confidence and supporting economic growth.
