What We Should Know About The Current Exchange Rate. by MONEY247: 12:47pm On Mar 26 |
This is why the Naira is gaining The CBN is selling at N1,251 so no trader locks in large transactions above N1,251 In essence, the Naira has floated but the CBN is intervening to strengthen the Naira by selling its FX reserves to BDCs are a price below the willing buyer/ willing seller price Implementations? The Naira will gain value but FX reserves are paying for it This is a band aid, the CBN is attempting to fix a problem it can’t fix without a high war chest of FX reserves The long-term fix is to export.. The CBN is subsidizing $ flow to the BDCs Who are these BDCs? Who owns them? What is their contribution to GDP or job creation? I would prefer the CBN subsidize exporters If you export and remit back to CBN you buy your dollars at $1:N1251 The surest way is massive production especially in areas with comparative advantage.. And cutting down on exchange rate manipulation... 5 Likes |

Take it easy bro. It is all about demand and supply equilibrium point. The price for point has to be discovered by varying price over a wide range and then noting where demand seem equal to supply. Anything below that price is what constitute defending of naira or fixing of the naira. Above it is roundtripping. 2 Likes |

MONEY247:I'm now getting annoyed with trainee economists like you blabbing on about export. Just how do you export when you produce with diesel unless you are exporting high end goods with a fat profit margin. The naira is currently severely undervalued and the government is trying to help it find it's real value while the saboteurs who are plenty are trying to scuttle things. Tinubu and the Cbn can only work with what they've got. I don't even know why Tinubu cares because nigerians are very bad people anyway. When he removed subsidy, they complained, when he put in subsidy again to mitigate after naira lost value,they complained again that he has not removed subsidy. 6 Likes |

Nobody is fooled by their mumu policy, that’s why they are pleading with people to release their dollars but why would they when they are sure of tripling their investment before year end without sweat. Many people are waiting on it to fall to $1,200 then buy up the dollars and either keep in house or open dom account in Ghana 2 Likes 2 Shares |

helinues:the demand and supply of dollar is still built around consumption and production. Spmeone wants hair extension and goes to buy forex so they import it. Another person needs to scale up his farm and applies for forex to buy tractor or sheets, that's production. These things are too complex for numbskulls. 2 Likes |

Babalegba:Who undervalued the Naira.....the same people defending it aahhh... This government is not ready to take responsibility for growth.... What gives your currency value? Is it not it's purchasing power....? When you need a trailer load of Naira to buy a pack of bread how do you call that undervalued.... We do international trade, and we need to produce to get the foreign currency...or borrow to augment.... Produce, produce, whichever way you can do it... Wether it's with diesel, and export to foreigners, the people exporting to us don't have two heads. Let's start production, we have comparative advantage already... massive arable land.... How can we be importing wheat..... with all this land.... We have citizens in diaspora, they would still need Local food stuff, but even our export is not meeting Thier demand.... Produce and export ... nothing more... 2 Likes |

Piigggs have started grunting senseless comments as usual The CBN's policies have redirected or is redirecting all the dollars back to the banks. BDC transactions over USD500 must go through the bank Now, with our forex reserves increasing, CBN can sell dollars to those who really need it at the true rate per time. 2 Likes |

Actual topic, thanx. Getting a handle on the current exchange rate is super important, especially if you're sending money overseas or planning a trip. It can really make a difference in your budget. If you're unsure about how this could affect your bank account or investments, reaching out to atlantic union bank customer service could be a big help. They can break it down for you and give you some tips on how to deal with exchange rates. Always good to know more about your money! |

Very inept analysis First, we have a trade surplus which means there’s more dollars coming in Second, the CBN has done right by imposing a minimum capital requirement for BDCs to operate and also giving them guidelines so all FOREX transactions they do will have to be reported The major cause of the slide is purchase of FOREX by speculators who have no need for the greenback but just buy and hoard for no reason and I bet they will all bite their fingers To buy from a bank or BDC, you must have a genuine need By the time the PHC Refinery begins to operate and meet our domestic need (which has been cut down after subsidy removal) and Dangote begins to export, the Naira may trade for as high as N400 to a dollar or even less 2 Likes |
