‘BDC Ban Stabilised The Naira’ – CBN

The Central Bank of Nigeria has devised a number of means to help the struggling Naira in the exchange market and one of these policies was the 2021 ban on Bureau de Change (BDCs) operators across the country. The ban sparked a number of reactions across Nigeria with a number of experts criticising the CBN Policy.

However, in recent news, the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele has insisted that the ban on BDCs has helped stabilise the local currency: As a result of our demand management policy, the naira has remained largely stable at the I & E window, particularly since the discontinuation of FX allocation to Bureau De Change operators along with the convergence between the CBN and NAFEX rates. Banks are now able to meet the demands of their customers seeking forex for SMEs, school fees, medical and PTAs,” The CBN Governor, represented by Mr Edward Adamu, Deputy Governor, Corporate Services, CBN, disclosed.
