*Edun Champions Nigeria’s Fiscal Reset at The UN Finance Summit<\/b>*<\/p>\n
In a bid to drive economic growth and development, the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun has today emphasized the need for fiscal reform and international cooperation when he delivered the country’s statement at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4), holding in Sevilla, Spain.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a high-level roundtable on domestic public resource mobilisation, HM Edun called for a rebalancing of global finance to better reflect the realities of developing economies. He highlighted Nigeria\u2019s reforms to improve tax administration, drive fiscal discipline, and create an enabling environment for private sector investment.<\/p>\n
*In today\u2019s evolving global landscape, self-reliance is essential. We are prioritising digital infrastructure, transparency, and institutional reform to deliver more for Nigerians with every naira spent,<\/b>* the Minister noted.<\/p>\n
He also stressed the urgent need for stronger international collaboration on tax fairness and illicit financial flows, areas where African economies continue to face systemic disadvantage.<\/p>\n
The event brought together senior officials from the United Nations, OECD, EU, and development banks, alongside finance ministers from countries including Nepal, Malawi, and Uruguay.<\/p>\n
As the Nigerian government continues to drive economic reforms, HM Edun’s message at the UN Finance Summit underscores the country’s commitment to achieving sustainable economic growth and development for the benefit of all Nigerians<\/p>\n
