The Nigerian Naira depreciated by N5 at the parallel market, popularly known as the black market, on Wednesday as dollar scarcity persists across key forex segments.

Naira lost N5 from N510 it exchanged against the United States Dollar on Tuesday to N515 on Wednesday. The local currency traded at N703 to a British Pound while against the Euro common currency, it sold at N596.

At the bureau de change segment, the Naira dipped by N7 from N506 it traded against the United States Dollar on Monday to N513. Against the British Pound and the Euro, it remained flat at N705 and N600, respectively.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had halted forex allocation to the Bureau de change forex section to reduce the activities of speculators and hoarders at the unregulated forex section, the black market. The decision weighed on Naira’s outlook against its global counterparts despite efforts to ensure banks reduce the projected deficit.

On the NAFEX window, the CBN adopted official rate, the Naira opened at N411.83 to a United States Dollar on Thursday morning, dipped by 0.08 percent from the N411.40 it closed on Wednesday. Investors traded $132.42 on Wednesday, according to the FMDQGroup.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has once again initiated direct sales of dollars to licensed Bureau De Change (BDC) operators across the country.

The latest circular from the apex bank announces the sale of $10,000 to each BDC at a rate of N1,021 per dollar.

This is the second round of such sales this month and the fourth in the current year.

The directive mandates BDCs to sell the allocated dollars to eligible end-users at a spread not exceeding 1.5 percent above the purchase price, translating to a maximum selling price of N1,036.15 per dollar.

Addressing concerns about adherence to guidelines, the CBN said it is important for BDC operators to work within the prescribed framework.

The intervention targets retail-end transactions, including travel allowances, tuition fees, and medical payments, among others.

BDCs are instructed to commence payment of the Naira deposit to designated CBN accounts and submit necessary documentation for FX disbursement at respective CBN branches.

This latest initiative follows previous interventions by the CBN, including the sale of $10,000 to BDCs earlier this month at N1,101 per dollar. Such measures aim to shore up the Naira’s value and ensure stability in the forex market amid economic uncertainties.

The CBN’s sustained efforts to provide adequate forex liquidity underscore its commitment to safeguarding the country’s currency and facilitating seamless foreign exchange transactions for businesses and individuals alike.
