Nigeria Hosts 2026 G-24 Technical Meeting, Edun Calls for Stronger Global Financial Cooperation
Nigeria has taken centre stage in global economic discussions as it hosts delegates in Abuja for the 2026 Technical Meeting of the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four (G-24). The meeting focuses on development finance, debt sustainability, and growth strategies for emerging economies.
Speaking at a welcome reception on Wednesday, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, appreciated participants for their presence and described the event as the start of detailed technical engagements ahead of the G-24 plenary.
He noted that the talks are holding at a critical time when developing countries face tighter global financial conditions and shifting trade realities. According to him, decisions from the meeting will shape access to capital, public financing, and investment flows — key areas linked to Nigeria’s economic reforms, infrastructure development, and job creation plans.
Hosting the meeting in Abuja reflects rising global confidence in Nigeria’s economic direction and its commitment to strengthening a more inclusive and resilient international financial system.
