Understand why four CBN functions explained: (1) Monetary policy (MPR, open market operations) — the tool for inflation control and growth support.
The MPR explained
Understand why mPR as benchmark: by setting the rate at which it provides or withdraws liquidity from the banking system, the CBN anchors the entire interest rate structure.
How MPR changes affect you
Understand why cBN dual mandate trade-offs: the CBN must balance inflation control against economic growth and employment.
Quantitative easing/tightening
