World Bank warns CBN on impact of Naira redesign on small businesses

The World Bank has cautioned that the newly redesigned naira, which entered circulation last week, may have a detrimental impact on economic activity, particularly for impoverished Nigerians, due to the timing and short transition time.

The Washington-based bank revealed this in a new report titled, “Nigeria Development Update.”

This came amid the mixed reactions that had trailed the newly redesigned notes.
