Before I proceed, I would like to use this opportunity to express our gratitude to you all for the support you have given to the Bank thus far, by helping in disseminating information about our policies, programmes and activities. I urge you to continue along this path of fruitful collaboration and support in the interest of our economy.
I am delighted to brief you today on the CBN’s proposed currency restructuring exercise, which we have code-named “PROJECT CURE”. As you all know, one of the core mandates of the CBN, like monetary authorities across the world, is the issuance and management of the legal tender currency.
