Emefiele also stated that attempts by the United States of America (USA) to adopt the normalisation policy, that is to return to the pre-pandemic economic era does not pose any threat to Nigeria.

Money, particularly foreign exchange, that will flow out of developing economies, he said, will not affect Nigeria since the stimulus packages released by developed countries to stabilise their economy did not come to Nigeria.
