The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, is leading Nigeria’s delegation to the 2025 IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington, D.C., where he will drive discussions on economic reform, international partnership, and financial sustainability.
The Minister’s schedule for the week highlights Nigeria’s strategic push for economic reform, international partnerships, and financial sustainability.
In a statement, Mohammed Manga, Director of Information and Public Relations, said that among Edun’s key engagements are bilateral meetings with senior officials from the IMF, World Bank, and International Finance Corporation (IFC), as well as participation in roundtables focused on climate finance, energy transition, and debt restructuring.
Manga noted that, following the significant progress made in stabilizing Nigeria’s economy over the past year, the government is now targeting rapid, inclusive growth, with a clear emphasis on job creation.
Edun is using this global platform to advocate for Nigeria’s renewed economic agenda, which is centered on fiscal consolidation, expanding social protection, and unlocking private sector investment across key sectors.
In his capacity as Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Edun continues to champion reforms that aim to deliver long-term economic resilience, with the goal of lifting millions of Nigerians out of poverty while ensuring that development remains equitable and sustainable.
The Nigerian delegation includes senior officials from the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, the Central Bank of Nigeria, and Nigeria’s multilateral finance agencies.
The Spring Meetings provide a timely platform for strategic discussions and partnerships that will unlock the country’s growth potential. Dialogue during the meetings is expected to yield significant outcomes that will shape Nigeria’s economic trajectory and inform future policy directions.
