FG Maybe Responsible For Forex Manipulation. by dlox147(m): 2:32pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
With the current gains by the Naira after Ifeanyi Ubah' statement got me thinking. I have come to a conclusion that just maybe the Govt delibrately manipulated the forex in other to partly fund the 2016 budget. I will explain this with the anology below.... "Let's say the Govt needs N400 million to fund the budget, as salaries and contracts are mostly Naira transactions, and it can only afford $1 million = N200 million. With the official exchange rate at about N200 to $1 and the FG through the CBN have restricted the issuance of Dollar to the CBN alone, who goes ahead to instigate forex panic by banning more dollar required item which ultimately push the price of Dollar to N400 in the parallel market. At the parallel market where Dollar is now sold for N400, CBN using its agents will smuggle the FG's $1million to be sold at the black market rate invariably making N400 million. While the official rate remains N200, the FG would have made their money, thereafter systematically takes the Naira back N200 whilst they have solved the problem of making N400 million." I may not be an expert in economics, but what would we attribute the current gains of the Naira to? Something fishy is going on and I think the FG is part of it....#ChimasTake 10 Likes 3 Shares |

This makes 50% sense. i prefer it when people think like this. A weak naira whilst bad for Nigerians is very good for the FG. 1 Like |

Federal government does not change dollar earnings into naira in the parallel market so, this your conspiracy theory is wrong. CBN manages and forex earnings of the federation and they do so by strictly using the official rate. If you want to know the reason behind the current rebound, then you should find out the reason for the initial astronomical fall in the N/$ exchange rate and that is, speculation. Speculators created an extreme artificial scarcity with the hope that the president will yield to pressure to devalue the Naira. After waiting for so long without success, they have to dump the dollars they are hoarding and hence, the rise in Naira value. 6 Likes 1 Share |

snipesdam: He has zero sense. How much can the FG possibly gain from that exercise considering the equivalent Naira would need to be sourced from the banks which effectively will cause a great shock to the financial system. You don't just withdraw billions from the commercial banks without consequences What about inherent risk involved in moving large currency about? 4 Likes |

dlox147: Exactly what spring to my mind this morning. You see this finance minister lady she know how to take from masses pocket to fund project. I remember vividly Home Owner project Ogun state introduced in late 2014 during that time most states have not been able to pay salary while Ogun state was bubbling.what will surprise me now is that the bailout received by Ogun states will be use for PMB estate project flag off during 40th anniversary. My imagination thou. This Lady will continue taking back from pocket of the masses and give back to Government to keep the country economy running. |

Re: FG Maybe Responsible For Forex Manipulation. by AZeD1(m): 8:27pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
dlox147:The money shared by the 3 tiers of government is printed money (newly printed). You say printing more money will cause inflation which is partly true but then you believe the CBN is the cause of the dollar hike because they want to raise money? Seriously? |
