The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, on Tuesday welcomed Sir Ken Olisa, Chairman of Interswitch Group, for a strategic meeting focused on Nigeria’s economic reform agenda and boosting public-private sector collaboration.
During the high-level discussion in Abuja, Minister Edun emphasized the government’s ongoing macroeconomic reforms, including exchange rate unification, fuel subsidy removal, and targeted social investment programs. These policy measures, he noted, are already delivering early results—such as a decline in inflation and renewed investor confidence in Nigeria’s economy.
He also spotlighted the country’s successful domestic dollar bond issuance, describing it as a clear signal of market trust. In addition, Edun referenced the strong international backing Nigeria received at the recent IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings, reinforcing the credibility of the reform efforts.
In response, Interswitch reiterated its commitment to partnering with the government in advancing digital infrastructure, financial technology (fintech) innovation, and financial inclusion—all crucial pillars in Nigeria’s push for long-term economic transformation.
