Cardoso also said the progress recorded in Nigeria’s banking industry is expected to continue into 2026, as the latest stress test conducted within the subsector showed that the lenders are financially robust.

The CBN governor stated this during his keynote address at the 60th annual dinner of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) in Lagos.

While highlighting the positive impact of the apex bank’s reforms on the country’s financial markets, Cardoso mentioned that the regulator will ensure that it does everything to protect the domestic financial market’s integrity.
