Naomi Okafor

Naomi studied economics at the University of Exeter before joining a policy think tank in London where she spent five years researching financial regulation and public spending. She moved into journalism when she realised her research was reaching more people as newspaper copy than as policy briefs. Her work covers the intersection of finance and public life — how regulatory decisions, interest rates and government policy shape the working and professional landscape. She writes with clarity and conviction and has built a reputation for making dense policy territory accessible without oversimplifying it. She lives in East London and is a trustee of a local financial literacy charity.
