Naira’s Value Drops to 905/$ Due to More Demand in Parallel Market

The naira kept falling, hitting 905 to a dollar in the parallel foreign exchange market. This happened even though the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had plans for Bureau De Change (BDC) operations. AbokiFX, a website that tracks exchange rates, said parallel market FX dealers were buying dollars at N895 and selling at N905. Before, the naira was steady at 900/$ in the parallel market, but it dropped to N773.42/$ in the Investors & Exporters window.

Analysts from Vetiva in Lagos said investors are worried because of uncertainties about the foreign exchange situation and a recent stop in fiscal reform. They also said the relief the naira got after the $3 billion Afreximbank loan announcement is disappearing.

The CBN said BDC operators should buy and sell within a range of -2.5 percent to +2.5 percent of the previous day’s foreign exchange market average rate.

A market analyst said a big policy change is needed for BDC operators beyond the price margin rule. The analyst said too many BDC licenses have been given out, causing a distorted market. They suggested that BDCs could work as agents of banks to improve coordination and monitoring.

Also, the CBN asked BDCs to submit regular reports through the Financial Institution Foreign Rendition System. If they don’t, they could lose their license.

Another analyst suggested letting BDCs bid for foreign exchange at the official market through banks. They would have to sell it within 48 hours or give it back. This could help coordination, get rid of speculators, and improve the market
