CBN reportedly devalues Naira to 630/$1
The CBN has devalued the Naira to N631 to the dollar from N461.6 it sold at the Importers and Exporters (I&E) window the previous day, Daily Trust is reporting.
This comes 48 hours after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced the plans of the F.G to unify the country’s exchange rate to stimulate the economy “Monetary policy needs a thorough house cleaning.
The Central Bank must work towards a unified exchange rate. This will direct funds away from arbitrage into meaningful investment in the plant, equipment and jobs that power the real economy,” the president had said in his inaugural speech.
It was gathered that at the resumption of the weekly bidding for foreign exchange, the apex bank sold the spot rate to banks on behalf of their customers at N631 to a dollar and most bidders got the full amount they requested.
The move has also seen prices at the parallel market trend downwards.
