ISTANDWITHBUHAR: That is not a problem, ' cash withdrawals' can be suspended for now, how about POS and online? The more you limit those (POS and online) the harder it becomes to harmonize rates, 'cause students and travelers will have no choice than the parallel market. OTOH, if POS (especially in countries 4-5 flight hours away) and online are allowed for say $500-$1000/ month are allowed, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the 'black market' -- bringing down the rates to less than N400 in few weeks or less. Throw in the tens of billions that will come in into the system through diaspora remittances when rates converge. We used to have $50,000 limit on each card: withdrawals and all up till 2014/15. We could support that cause we earned more Forex from oil, and didn't have this crazy mouth-watering difference in exchange rates . . . N2-N4 was the average difference then . . . less round tripping, speculating, and hoarding creating less complex problems. I could go on and on . . . it's all about pro active policies . 2 Likes |

It's time to go on a shopping spree, that CBN was just hoarding dollars and creating artificial scarcity. Its time to shop till we drop, tell your wives, side chicks and gfs to run up that credit card tab.

eezeribe: Bro....this is the method that has always been in use and its the method across the world. Our major export is oil. The drop in availability of dollars was as a result of drop in oil price, hence scarcity of dollars in the market. But now that oil prices have risen, dollar is now available. What we need to do now is strengthen others areas of export and possibly try and reduce our imports, so that in the event of a crash in oil prices, the issue of dollar scarcity will not re-occur. And of course we get the added benefit of a straightened naira 1 Like |

Sunnynwa: I say immediate solution. Will policies bring down the forex within one month. Besides, you think with low Foreign Reserve, investors will start bringing in their dollars even with the best policies? Also, which of the Fed Govt policies chased away investors? Bro, the bulk of the problems lies in exportable commodities and for now, crude oil is what the nation practically depends on for her forex. |

well as for me I would advise CBN to madate the use of dollar card for travelers and online transactions and set a limit spending of 3000-5000usd per quarter. while the use of POS should be limit to 30usd daily n 30% charges on 100usd withdrawal. meanwhile a trestrictions should be me made on all the card to decline any form of online transfer transaction..this will curb the pressure on dollar and also encourage small online business quote author=989900 post=54539585] That is not a problem, ' cash withdrawals' can be suspended for now, how about POS and online?

NaijaEfcc: But you just explained the game being played na? Is it not you that just analysed how the government wants some people to get sufficient dollars, then jerk it up again? Based on that, what stops you from investing accordingly? How will you have good information about the future market forces, yet it is not safe to engage in same business? Mtcheeeew.

Sunnynwa: Foreign Reserve is not being depleted, increased price of oil and improved output is being used to shore up the the Naira. At the moment, the Foreign Reserve is around $30b and it has been so for the past one month. Now, lets assume the Foreign Reserve is being depleted (which is not even the case) which alternative do you have to address the free fall of the Naira? Or you want it to get to N1k/$ to have more reasons to complain. What I know is that the present measure is the only means of addressing the issue for the time being but if u have any other means, it will make a lot of sense if you post it here cos some policy makers get opinions of the public and nl is a public forum. 1 Like |

The system should operate with fluidity and balance. How do you have a system that is push and start and expect normalisation? It can't be. Imagine saying you are pushing bank customers who have no need for a foreign currency to acquire it? How sustainable? Okay, if you continue and put new ideas that will lead to oversubscription and hording what happens? Let me save my thoughts.. Meanwhile for someone out there; Are you looking for a job? Between 18-50 yrs?Are U a graduate or secondary school leaver?Are u retired, sacked or tired of salary work? You want a biz with high returns, skill as capital, lowest startup costs? ■Make average N5k-10k - Up to 30k or more daily■Meet high net worth individuals[opportunities] ■Grow in IT knowledge■Be highly sought after [Money looking for u].■Employ others!
