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.
