The CBN (Nigeria’s apex bank) in its efforts to meet the Foreign Exchange (FOREX) needs of its customers has said that it injected $210 million into the market.
In a statement issued by the apex bank on Tuesday, the money which was distributed among various segments of the market showed that the CBN offered $100 million to authorised dealers in the wholesale segment of the market while the Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) segment got the sum of $55 million.
According to figures from the Bank, customers requesting Forex for invisibles such as tuition fees, medical payments and Basic Travel Allowance (BTA), among others, were also allocated the sum of $55 million.
The CBN had last Friday, following the earlier take-off of its intervention in the sale of Forex in Chinese Yuan (CNY), injected the sum $340, 507, 376.51 into the interbank retail secondary market intervention sales.
This was in addition to the sale of CNY 69,858,087.15 in the spot and short tenured forwards.
