The meeting explores ways of expanding Nigeria’s non-interest finance sector as a driver of inclusive economic growth.

Discussions further centred on how initiatives such as a Non-Interest Real Estate Investment Fund and a regular sovereign SUKUK issuance programme could attract ethical investment into critical infrastructure, boost market liquidity, and widen access to finance for under-served communities.
