It will be recalled last week Wednesday that the Apex bank rolled out guidelines for primary dealers – banks that will play directly in the market – with conditions that they must have at least N200 billion in shareholders’ funds, N400 billion worth of forex assets and 40% liquidity ratio, although those who meet two of the requirements will qualify.

But in a revised set of guidelines last Friday, the CBN hrown the door open to other banks to participate even if they do not meet the criteria for the choice of 10.
