About
Olayemi Cardoso is arguably the most consequential policymaker on this list. As Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, he sits at the centre of decisions shaping how money moves into, out of and around Africa's largest economy. Under his tenure, Nigeria has moved toward a more structured regulatory framework for international money-transfer operators and digital-asset businesses, while reforms to bank supervision and corporate structures are reshaping the financial system beneath fintech. Cardoso belongs on the Borderless 100 because regulation ultimately determines which borders technology is allowed to cross.
