I sold 80 USDT at N1505 yesterday from my trading account to solve an issue thinking that the price is Ok and today I wanted to buy the same USDT to replace it and discovered that it is now N1539! Less than 18 hours.
The government is actually clueless by thinking that releasing USD once in a while will solve the problem.

You are the one with empty head. With the floating of the Naira foreign investors can come in and exit at anytime. The different rates was a scam before. And a time will come, when all those people who are arbitrary increasing price would not be able to do so. Consumers would always look for alternative.

Another Tinubu ass licker.

You float the Naira to the death of millions of Nigerians from starvation. You float the Naira but millions of Nigerians die for that; what's in your head?
Economic planning is about bettering the lives of citizens.

I think so bro ( nobody can 100% say with NG)
Diaspora remittances account for the largest amount of incoming fx receipts, greater than crude oil. Unfortunately those monies are coming in through sources which don't contribute to liquidity. They just feed black market and domestic hoarding.

If I was the CBN I would follow up current actions by creating an API that all fintechs and IMTO need to use to bring fx into Nigeria. This would allow CBN track
inflow and even add a small transaction charge.

What do you think?

I just checked your post history. No single positive news.

It’s either you’re a kid who does not understand the implications of negative reporting, or you’re a not soo bright adult who is bitter with the present govt or you’re an opposition agent. Remember, pdp also ruled for 16 years and they weren’t any better. Stop posting negative news all the time. Everytime naira hits record low. What does it benefit you?

Who exactly is benefiting from an ever falling Naira? What kind of cruelty is this? In 2019, a friend of mine based in the US invested $200,000(N72,000,000 at that time) into Nigerian real estate. Now his investment is valued at about N200,000,000($135,000). Despite the fact that his naira investment tripled in value, it was still not worth it from a dollar perspective. He is now regretting his decision because he would have been better off just leaving his $200k in the bank when you consider it is now worth 32 percent less. This is an example of foreign investor they claim to be courting.



TELL YOUR FRIEND TO SELL HIS INVESTMENT IN THE REAL ESTATE. HE IS NOT AT ANY LOSS BUT IN A SUPPER PROFIT.

Official rate is now higher than bdc. There is no genuine business owner that would buy at an higher official rate than what's obtainable at the parallel market. Who are those buying the dollars when traders are unsure of selling and replenishing their stocks.

Is it impossible for them to figure out that local money laundering is happening right before their eyes? some people are mopping up the dollar with over printed naira from Buhari era. And there is a way out if they think well

You are damn wrong. If he invest in real estate the value of those properties would also be higher now. Has your rent not gone up?
the value of the property went up from 72m to 200m, however the rate of devaluation was higher which eroded the profit he has made. If he wants to divest for instance his initial 200usd is now worth 135usd. He made a loss

I feel sorry for your friend. I worked in the bank before I left the country more than a decade ago.

I understand foreign exchange risk. Every investment I made in Nigeria I ensure that I don't have the need to repatriate the proceeds. Even as far back as 2009/2010 unless you are repatriating your funds within a short window you are still faced with foreign exchange risk ( I must admit it is a nightmare now even big investors that could pay for forward deals to hedge their fx risk do not have any reasonable level of guarante).

I fear for the future of this country.

Where the CBN is getting it wrong:

It's not enough to insist that Dollar inflows be converted to Naira and restrict any use of Dollar domestically.

They need to also make it possible to easily convert the Naira to Dollar for those who export & import, those travelling and paying for academic related transactions.

Failure to do so, those who currently have raw Dollar would definitely sell at a very high rate to those travelling.

It does not end there, people would begin to bring in physical Dollar from other countries and sell at a very high rate.

So invariably, the Dollar would continue to appreciate against the Naira.

WhiteWood:


Your calculation is WRONG --- Here is the proof --- You describes a situation where your friend invested $200,000 in Nigerian real estate in 2019. At that time, you said the investment was valued at 72,000,000 Naira. Your calculation suggest that the exchange rate was approximately 360 Naira to 1 US dollar 2019. Check it yourself.

To find out how much 1 dollar is in Naira based on the given conversion of $200,000 equaling N72,000,000, you can divide the total Naira amount by the total dollar amount:

1 dollar = (N72,000,000 / $200,000)

By performing the division:

1 dollar = 360 Naira - IMPOSSIBLE

Therefore, based on the given conversion, 1 US dollar is equal to 360 Nigerian Naira. --
you are wrong and do not understand what he wrote...you invest 200k USD which is 72m in Naira @360 as at today the value of the investment is 200million Naira; however Naira has devalued from 360-1500 against the dollar. Hence, the real estate worth is 200million/1500naira which gives you 133k USD the guy has lost almost 67k USD in that investment

The only way it will make sense is if he doesn’t take back the money and uses it for rent or shortlet for now . For other foreign investors , it is sad reality . The market is there , but the moment you want to change your investment into dollars , you are in trouble .

The Nigerian market is doing well . Our major problem is our cravings for imported materials . If you deal in naira only or produce something locally without or with little need for fx, you will sell tire .

This is the Article of the Day ☝️

However, diasporans who had borrowed money to travel abroad finds it easy to pay back due to the falling state of NAIRA.

The stability of the Dollars enable diasporans to remit less money to offset their burden debt and encourage them to work more and increase their purchasing power back home.

Ditto for a foreign investors as well who could bring money inflows to the country but unfortunately, the reality on ground doesn't favour such.

Thank you.

An average Nigeria looks at the figure of money rather than the value of money.

I have heard some people abroad getting happy that naira is falling . I guess they will sell cement for them at the rate of 3500 naira.

Even that money in your bank account is losing value.


I think for most Nigerians abroad that fall in that category their happiness is mostly from the fact that with just 10 dollars they can settle one or two billings. With 100 dollars they can take care of at least 5 people billing them. Unlike when 100 dollars will hardly go round. Yes the money may not go a long way to the biller but at least it is on record that the billee gave 5 billers 20k each.

When it boils down to their own projects and family responsibilities everyone is crying. Because if you used to drop 100k for your parents now you have to triple it.
