@Adolfnigeria Outlaw transactions in the black market. * Please what is this ? Few Nigerians get forex via the banks. The only way to get dollars is from BDC or so called black market. Government of propaganda. The parrallel/black market is the only way for most Nigerians to get dollar. This is the market that shows the true naira value. The CBN quote is propaganda. I believe they only use this window to scam foreign investors or unsuspecting victims, from their dollars. @me So long as the black market remains, the arbitragers will ensure that the rates widen. Buy more to create artificial scarcity so that the rates will keep increasing consequently increasing the value of their store of value. It's similar to when a company is about to issue an IPO. The major shareholders will mop up the shares on the exchange to drive up the price. So long as they keep buying the price will keep going up not that it reflects the fundamentals of the company. 1 Like |

You can't outlaw black market as it is driven by market forces of demand and supply. The incompetence of the government and financial institutions to provide FX for SMEs, manufacturers and the general public created the parallel market. This nonsense policy just like the rest will further destroy this economy and cause massive unemployment. Above all it is clear that the major driver of rapid devaluation of our currency is not parallet market but fuel subsidy, servicing of foreign loans and reckless spending of this government just like the one before it looted by politicians. Why will Nigerians continue to bear the brunt of this incompetent government.? The corrupt national assembly are also not left out in adding to the FX crisis and recently we all witnessed how they each got imported cars worth over N160 million....including corrupt CBN officials and bankers involved in racketeering and dollar round tripping.... Naira currency can only appreciate in value if there is a deliberate effort to look inwards, stop reckless borrowing of foreign loans, stop excessively looting of public funds, invest in stable electricity, refine fuel locally (Government must build and operate at least one refinery) and reduce the cost of government by dissolving duplicate ministries, parastatals and pubic offices including reducing the number of senators, reps and ministers as current system of government is bloated and too expensive. This news is another disaster that will accelerate job losses especially in the manufacturing sector.... 7 Likes |

FreeStuffsNG: "Only unpatriotic and greedy people will go buy fx to hoard and they deserve not only to lose their funds but must be prosecuted for economic sabotage as well." The hoarding of forex is an indication of lack of confidence in the government ability to maintain the value of the currency. Once confidence is restored, the hoarding will reduce drastically. I met an importer of POP cement today and he says that they are compelled to purchase forex the second they dispose of their goods as they don't trust the Naira. 5 Likes |

Nothing will really change unfortunately, the extra cost from excise tax on FX et al will be passed to buyers of FX. The sure way to boost liquidity is to eradicate foreign PMS purchase or better put, we must refine locally, increase production and export to earn more forex. Any other cosmetic efforts will most likely worsen the issue. Our environment is very sensitive 1 Like |

ZaddyJ: It’s the report from the committee set up to look into how Nigerian government can effectively cure the damages on the economy of the nation which is occasioned by the current state of foreign exchange and tax system the country is operating. Part of the committee’s recommendation is : the foreign exchange market would be expanded to include not only the old popular foreign exchange players BDC but also other new operators. The implication of the above is , the naira will stop crashing against every other foreign currencies, not just dollar. Then it means your $2k dollar may end up dropping to two thousand naira (N2000). The committee actually came up with enviable , logical and practical ideas and solutions which if truly followed , the economy of the country would favor everyone and perhaps a viable ways to attract reliable foreigner investors with long term goals of running their business ventures in Nigeria. 1 Like |

Re: FG Outlaws Black Market FOREX Transactions by samintegrity(m): 2:15am On Oct 25, 2023 |
Well, the only solution I see fit is for FG to allow local naira card be eligible for international transactions to a tune of $10,000 monthly. After all, bank get fx from CBN at the official rate, hence, international payment via naira card can be charged using the official rate. This would seriously reduce the need for dollar at a black market since one can easily make transactions via your naira card Also, international students would be able to make payment also at ease with no need for an aboki to buy dollars from at black market rate. Imagine, I needed to renew a domain name for just $16, and guess what, I couldn't using my GTB Naira card, I had to resort to chipper which charged me #1290 to a dollar.. Just imagine, something that by allowing the Naira card , I could have just been charged #750 to a dollar.. So you see, until we allow the use of naira card for international transactions, we won't leave this stage. No one would need to buy dollar or use chipper exorbitant price if one could use his local card. Majority of the need for dollar arises from international students and a few others. After all, banks get dollars from CBN at the official rate. CBN can then be funding huge request for the dollar maybe huge importation and co with very strict standards and follow up to ensure the money released by it is being used for exactly what it's intended for. I tell you, this would force the price seriously down After all, before the advent of former President buhari, and Good luck, we literally made payment for international transactions using our local Naira card and there was little or no need for a Domiciliary account. Mostly, those with a domi account then we're pple who received inflows in dollars and not for an online payment.. The Nigerian government needs to look into this. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Eteka1: I tell you sir. I don't understand why we need to make payment in dollars when our local currency is Naira. If CBN can achieve that, most BOC and fine tech companies would be forced to close down. Well, perhaps they know this but maybe because someone somewhere is making huge money from it hence the reason why they just aren't looking at this direction. I may be wrong thou. 2 Likes |
