Multi-Billion Naira Debt: Fidelity Bank Takes Over Benin, Kano, Kaduna Discos Over

According to reports, the apex bank announced the suspension of the sale to BDCs in a letter dated March 25, 2020, and addressed to the president Association of Bureau de Change of Nigeria, ABCON, Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe.

This could further increase the price of the dollar which the apex bank recently announced should be sold by BDCs to end-users at N380 to a dollar from the initial N360 to a dollar.

ABCON had earlier on March 24 written to the CBN, recommending a stop in the weekly sale of forex to the BDCs.

According to the CBN, the suspension follows the government’s directive to restrict gatherings to not more than 20 persons as parts of measures to person-to-person contact and to curb the transmission of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, the global economy has been severely hit amid a crash in oil prices and radical change in the operations of businesses and industries around the world.

Despite the challenging circumstances facing the forex market due to a drop in crude oil prices, the CBN said that it acknowledged the contributions of the BDCs in promoting a stable exchange rate in recent months.

The Central Bank, as parts of measures to cushion the economic effect of the virus on the economy, collapsed the multiple exchange rate policy that determined the value of the naira and adopted a single exchange rate.

The development implied that Nigeria now operates a uniform rate for the official rate, bureau de change operators, importers and exporters.

A circular signed by the Director, trade and exchange department of the CBN, Ozoemena Nnaji, gave the directive on the disbursement of the proceeds of the International Money Transfer Operator, IMTO.

The CBN had said that IMTSOs will sell to banks at N376 per dollar, banks to CBN at N377 per dollar, CBN to Bureau de change operators N378 per dollar, BDCs to end-users not more than N380 per dollar and the volume of sales for each market set at $20 thousand per BDC.

Although analysts explained that the move implied that the Naira had been devalued, the CBN countered that narrative, adding that “market fundamentals do not support Naira devaluation at this time.”
