- Nigeria Fiscal Crisis Forced Us to Be Creative, Look Beyond Oil Revenues - Cardoso
Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Olayemi Cardoso said on a World Bank/IMF panel in Bangkok that the fiscal crisis forced policymakers to be creative in revenue generation and stabilisation. He said that when the new administration took office, external reserves had dropped to about $3 billion and the country owed about $7 billion in sundry obligations, and orthodox monetary policy helped repay debt and stabilise the economy. He argued that reliance on oil revenue was unsustainable, so the CBN looked to the diaspora and international remittances to ease capital flow and is now focused on value addition, citing the Dangote Refinery. Gross external reserves now stand at $55.1 billion and net reserves at about $46 billion. The debate, which featured IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and Kyriakos Pierrakakis, Minister of Economy and Finance of the Hellenic Republic, explored how economies can stay resilient amid a fragmented global landscape.

- Nigeria says private capital to drive next growth phase , petrol subsidy gone
Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele said Nigeria will rely increasingly on domestic and foreign private capital, rather than state borrowing, to finance its next growth phase, and ruled out restoring petrol subsidies. He credited President Bola Tinubu's reforms since 2023, including scrapping the subsidy and overhauling the foreign exchange regime, with stabilising public finances, strengthening foreign reserves and attracting investment, though they have imposed a heavy cost-of-living squeeze. Inflation has fallen to 14.63% from 21% a year earlier, and he expects it to reach low single digits in the coming months. He called the IMF's forecasts of 4.2% growth in 2026 and 4.3% in 2027 “too conservative,” as the government targets average annual growth of about 7% over the next five years.
- Why President Tinubu Is Building Serious Claim to Greatness – THISDAYLIVE
The article argues that President Tinubu is building a lasting legacy by combining the strengths of earlier Nigerian leaders with democratic and economic reform. It cites his role in forming the coalition that became the APC, which achieved Nigeria's first federal transfer of power from a governing party to an opposition party, and the Supreme Court's affirmation of the 2023 election result despite legal challenges. It also notes that he congratulated Governor Ademola Adeleke after the opposition Accord Party defeated the APC in Osun's August 2026 election, while acknowledging the controversy over the suspension of Rivers State's elected government. On the economy, the article credits the removal of petrol subsidies, unification of foreign-exchange windows and four 2025 tax laws, as real GDP growth rose from 3.38% in 2024 to 4.43% in Q2 2026. According to the IMF, gross reserves increased from about $40 billion to $46 billion during 2025.

This opinion column argues that the peso's fast depreciation reflects an economic policy failure, not only the Middle East crisis, El Niño and 'political noise' cited by the Palace. It says public debt has passed the prudential 60% threshold, gross international reserves cover only about eight months of imports, and involuntary hunger rose to 22% of the population in an SWS survey. The column also criticises Sen. Panfilo Lacson for accusing Taguig City of ghost projects, fake land titles and illegal reclamation without producing fully documented evidence, and calls for corruption allegations to be backed by proof.

- Your fridge could one day stake Ether, launch memecoins: CFTC chair
CFTC Chair Michael Selig said autonomous AI agents could challenge financial rules built around human traders, and regulators need to adapt. At the agency's inaugural Frontier Forum in Washington, he offered the example of a refrigerator buying groceries with money earned from staking Ether, or even launching its own memecoin. An eToro survey found that 79% of U.S. millennial investors and 77% of Gen Z investors already used or were open to using AI to select or adjust their investments. Selig raised questions about whether AI agent developers would need to register, who would be liable if an agent went rogue, and whether a new know-your-agent (KYA) standard is needed. He also said AI could help smaller traders access risk management tools, but agents could react unexpectedly, similar models could create correlated trading behavior, and the speed of autonomous transactions could complicate market surveillance.
- Asian currencies mixed as dollar steadies after Fed hold, PCE eyed
Asian currencies traded mixed on Thursday as the dollar steadied after the Fed held rates, with investors awaiting U.S. inflation data and policy decisions in Europe and Japan. The Fed kept its policy rate at 3.75%-4.00% in a 10-2 vote, and Chair Kevin Warsh expressed confidence inflation could return to the 2% target without significantly slowing growth, though he offered little clarity on a possible December hike. Markets still priced a 78% probability of a December increase, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The yen edged higher ahead of the Bank of Japan's decision, expected to keep its rate at 1.25%, while the New Zealand dollar fell as much as 1.7% to around $0.5585 after the RBNZ unexpectedly held its cash rate at 2.75%, before steadying at $0.5622.
