CBN injects $210m to boosts Forex market

CBN injects $210m to boosts Forex market November 29, 2017

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Tuesday, announced the injection of another $210,000,000million to boost liquidity in the inter-bank Foreign Exchange Market.

Disclosing this in Abuja, the Acting Director, Corporate Communications Department, CBN, Mr. Isaac Okorafor said the sum of $100m was offered to the wholesale segment, while the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) segment got an allocation of $55m.
 
The invisibles segment (i.e. tuition fees, medical payments and Basic Travel Allowance (BTA), among others) was also allocated $55m. Okorafor said the releases were part of effort aimed at boosting liquidity in the forex market, facilitating trade and easing remittances for legitimate personal commitments.
 
While attributing the long spell of calm in the market to the interventions of the CBN and the cooperation of all stakeholders, Okorafor said that the convergence of rates between the interbank market and the Bureau de Change segments, had all but converged with customers able to buy forex from either market at not more than N362 to a dollar.
 
He stressed that the CBN would continue in its monitoring of the market in order to ensure that authorised dealers abide by the extant rules. Meanwhile, the naira maintained its steady rate against the United States Dollar, exchanging for N361/$1 in the BDC segment of the market yesterday.
