Nigeria has trimmed its key interest rate to 26.50%, down from a previous level of 27.00%, according to the latest data updated on 24 February 2026. The move marks a slight easing in monetary policy following a period of very tight rates.

The decision signals a cautious shift by Nigerian authorities, who had maintained elevated borrowing costs to combat inflation and support currency stability. By reducing the benchmark rate by 0.50 percentage points, policymakers may be seeking to provide limited relief to borrowing costs for businesses and consumers, while still keeping financial conditions relatively restrictive.

Investors and market participants will be watching closely to see how the rate adjustment affects credit demand, inflation dynamics, and overall economic activity in Africa’s largest economy in the coming months.
