“The Central Bank raised interest rates again.” “Inflation hit a new high.” “The naira weakened against the dollar.” Nigerians hear economic headlines like these constantly — and most of us are never told what they actually mean for our rent, our loans, our salary or our savings. That’s the gap Economy Decoded exists to close. We translate the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) interest rate decisions, the National Bureau of Statistics’ (NBS) inflation numbers, naira exchange rate movements, fuel subsidy policy and government budgets into plain language — what happened, why it happened, and what it means for an ordinary person or business, not just an economist. This is meant to become one of NairaDecoded’s strongest sections: the place you come to actually understand the economic news everyone is talking about, instead of scrolling past it. Explore: Inflation & Interest Rates, Currency & Exchange Rates, Policy & Government and our Numbers That Matter series, where we take a single important number and explain what it really tells us.
