    In a landmark event titled “Optimizing Remittances to Nigeria: A Vision for the Future”, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) joined key industry leaders, IMTOs, investors and diaspora representatives in Houston to explore innovative pathways for enhancing remittance flows and promoting diaspora-led investments. The event, held in collaboration with NIBSS and Nigerian banks, emphasized the role of remittances in Nigeria's economic future. With annual remittance inflows averaging $20.5 billion, CBN seeks to transform these funds from short-term consumption to long-term investments in areas such as infrastructure, power, healthcare, agriculture, etc. Governor Olayemi Cardoso has identified the Nigerian diaspora as a vital force in this vision. This forum is among the first in a series aimed at strengthening engagement with Nigeria’s diaspora communities to unlock the full potential of remittances and harness their influence through collaboration with key stakeholders to drive sustainable economic growth.

    This week, the CBN took a significant step in engaging Nigerians abroad through a high-level roundtable during the 2024 IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings. The roundtable focused on strengthening ties with the diaspora to drive economic development and financial inclusion through remittances and investments. It convened policymakers, business and thought leaders from the diaspora, Nigeria’s financial sector, International Money Transfer Operators, investors and others. During the discussions, the CBN emphasized its goal of transforming remittances inflows from short-term consumption to sustainable, long-term investments in sectors like infrastructure, power, healthcare, agriculture, etc. As part of the Bank's deepening engagement with the diaspora, the CBN, in collaboration with NIBSS, introduced the Non-Resident Bank Verification Number (NRBVN), set to launch in December. The NRBVN will enable Nigerians living abroad to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) processes remotely, aiming to simplify access to banking services while adhering to the highest global AML best practices.
