Nigeria’s persistent Dollar scarcity amid rising demand continued to dictate the nation’s exchange rate. In recent weeks, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has linked the situation to activities of bureau de change operators and politicians reportedly buying and hoarding dollars ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The CBN adopted the I&E rate as its official rate and launched a Naira4Dollar scheme to lure exporters, repatriating export proceeds, to the window to exchange foreign earnings at CBN stipulated rate.

Still, activity in that section of foreign exchange remained low as exporters are yet to fully embrace the Naira4Dollar initiative or understand why they should ignore N700/US$1 of the black market for N428.12/US$1 plus N5 per dollar repatriated and sold at I&E window.
