Naira May Appreciate To N300 Per Dollar – BDC Operator by 989900: 2:32pm On Aug 16, 2016 |
Lagos – A Bureau De Change (BDC) operator, Mr Harrison Owoh, on Monday predicted that the Naira might appreciate to N300 against the dollar within a week. Owoh said the CBN’s directive to banks to sell $30,000 to BDCs weekly could be responsible for the imminent gain against the dollar. In an interview in Lagos, the Managing Director, H J Trust and Investment Ltd., said seven banks had already done documentation for customers. According to him, the ongoing documentation process was why the Naira had not appreciated immediately. Owoh said once the banks were through with the documentation, the Naira would begin to appreciate against the dollar. NAN recalls that the CBN had fortnight ago, announced additional regulatory measures aimed at improving dollar liquidity in the economy. Specifically, the apex bank directed authorised dealers to sell foreign currency cash to BDCs, subject to a maximum $30,000 per BDC per week. In turn, each BDC was required to nominate only one preferred authorised dealer through which it would purchase its weekly foreign exchange. The authorised dealers’ selling rate to the BDC was stipulated at its purchase rate from its approved International Money Transfer Operator (IMTO). Also, the BDCs were required to sell foreign exchange cash to end users at its purchased rate and a maximum margin of two per cent. Last week, foreign exchange market witnessed sustained depreciation of the Naira against the dollar in all segments as foreign currency supply remained inadequate. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/08/naira-may-appreciate-n300-per-dollar-bdc-operator/ |

For where? It has gone beyond supply of dollars to total lack of confidence in the naira and the ailing economy. People like me will rush and buy at 340! Nigerians with the means and foresight are dumping the naira because there is no investment prospect in Nigeria today owing to the clueless and directionless economic policies of the Dullard's govt. 43 Likes 1 Share |

Hope it appreciates fast enough. I also hope it will not be used for sharp practices , our rice industry is growing, when the naira appreciates , I hope it won't be released to those who wants to import those things that can be produced in Nigeria. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Proudlyngwa: Because if Buhari tries sh1t in moving our reserves from the dollar that is the day his Presidency ends. Buhari and the Useles APC were supported by Washington for this sole purpose to enslave us to western banks .

Lol...good news is so scarce now in Nigeria that an ordinary BDC operator is being quoted on the fate of the Naira. The Naira will continue to fall whether we like it or not because more people are losing faith in it. They'll rather store wealth in foreign currency. 28 Likes |

Proudlyngwa: Our reserves are nothing but govt proceeds from one sector - oil and has nothing to do with our economy. The reserves only help boost local economy by offering forex to business men to import goods and raw materials. It has nothing to do with the economy as it is strictly controlled and managed by govt policies and not in any way a reflection of market forces. 3 Likes |

989900: Tell Buhari to diversify our reserves from the dollar to the yuan and see how and where that gets him with Washington. Even our oil trade with china is done directly in dollars or through Chinese direct investments in infrastructure but never in Yuan. So when you were prancing up and down shouting "master stroke " and declaring that the currency swap will begin in April this year and everything will be ok, I was just wondering how myopic the youth are today in international events. All wars Washington has fought since the end of WW2 was to ensure that the dollar remains the dominant currency of trade! Back to the topic and I see you still have you hopes up. If Buhari releases the remaining odd $26bn reserves in one fell swoop on the currency market and sets the price bidding from 500 naira to a dollar before the week ends , the naira will be trading well above 1,000 as Nigerians will rush to dump the useless naira. Buhari at least knows this and that is why he refused to float the damn currency in the first place. So all this wet dreaming you are having over this useless prediction will end up as an anticlimax just like the same yuan currency deal. 11 Likes |

12Monkeys:You are just countering yourself, available Forex and reserves are too different things, most of our forex is gotten from petroleum related sales. Our reserves is factored on a lot of things which determine the strength of our economy. The telecommunication sector affects our economy, but might not directly provide forex. Don't get it twisted. |

Proudlyngwa: You are the confused one. The federal govt operates the Single Treasure Account (held in naira) and external reserves (held in dollars). Both of these are accrued from govt revenue only. How does MTN balance sheet help the economy where they are not even quoted in the stock market and in a situation most of their earnings are repatriated back to their home base in south Africa ?

We know quite well ,that USA is for USA alone, but they can't do anything once Nigeria starts a direct trade relationship with China, as have some other African countties. Are we renegading on any US treaty, are we threatening global security with our actions. The US can only threaten not to buy our oil,limit sales of hardware toys and sponsor insurgency, which Nigeria is already going through.

Let me help you, if MTN closes shop, and leaves will it affect the economy yes, will it affect Forex, insignificantly, If oil output drops from 2 million barrels per day to 1 million barrels, will it affect forex, yes, if we are an end product exporting nation, will it affect the economy ,insignificantly.

Proudlyngwa: Myopic. Can you remember when US ceased buying Nigeria crude claiming their shale oil was able to meet their energy needs even though they increased oil imports from Saudi Arabia? Try and bypass the dollar and see if you will have a country . The US economy is only buoyed by the ability of the US govt to force the dollar as a global means of trade. Their 18trillion dollar debt is hinged on their ability to ensure smaller vassal states like Nigeria continue to accept without question the dollar as a means of trade. This is how worthless brass manilas were used by the Europeans in trading with your ancestors. Continue thinking US is your friend. Buhari, in his blind power quest, made a deal with the devil.

Proudlyngwa: My friend, stop talking trash! MTN does not inject forex into our external reserves or economy. Rather they take out our wealth back to SA. If they shut down now, there will by the antecedent job losses associated with those that are employed directly or indirectly with MTN. You should stop reasoning from your anus and appreciate the fact that the Nigerian economy as whole depends solely on forex earnings from oil sales and nothing else! Even your satanic APC and Buhari dunce have bemoaned their inability to deliver on weak oil pricing, low output occasioned by militancy and no ready availlable buyer for Nigerian crude!

I am in support of direct trade with China,and support boycotting the dollar US govt does not control volume of crude into the US, actually it was Saudi that increased production and reduced price to punish US for renegading on a decision not to go into shale. 5 Likes |
