“So, (as) our distinguished treasurers, you bear the responsibility to relentlessly manage the ever-evolving opportunities and challenges presented by global dynamics and safeguard the financial health of your organisations.
“As treasurers and financial experts, you must recognise the interconnectivity of the global and economic system. The ability to tactically position treasury activities to manage the evolving global trend will have significant implications on our domestic markets,” he said.
According to Abdullahi, the worldwide inflation rate is expected to continue to decline in 2025, especially in the direction of the central bank’s long-term inflation goals.
He claimed that FMDA’s tenacity in persuading its members to accept and carry out the new policies is an example of its ongoing display of tremendous power.
In order to stabilize the stock market and avoid inflation-driven asset bubbles, Bismarck Rewane advocated for balanced monetary policies. He clarified that higher interest rates may draw money away from stocks by making fixed-income investments more alluring.
