Nigeria's Central Bank Agrees To Reduce Interest Rates

The central bank cut its benchmark interest rate to 13.5% from 14% as part of an attempt to stimulate growth. The cut is the first by the Monetary Policy Committee,  since the central bank decided in July 2016 to pursue a tight monetary policy to bring stability to the financial market and stimulate growth in the economy.
