The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has made significant changes to the Nigerian Foreign Exchange (FX) Market.

In a circular signed by Angela Sere-Ejembi, director of financial markets, the CBN announced the collapse of all segments of the foreign exchange markets into the Investors and Exporters (I&E) forex window.

Additionally, two prominent initiatives, the RT200 programme, and the naira4dollar remittance scheme, will be discontinued from June 30, 2023.

The circular reads, “The Central Bank of Nigeria (CB) wishes to inform all authorized dealers and the general public of the following immediate changes to operations in the Nigerian Foreign Exchange (FX) Market:

– Abolishment of segmentation. All segments are now collapsed into the Investors and Exporters (I&E) window. Applications for medicals, school fees, BTA/PTA, and SMEs would continue to be processed through deposit money banks.

– Re-introduction of the “Willing Buyer, Willing Seller” model at the I&E Window. Operations in this window shall be guided by the extant circular on the establishment of the window, dated 21 April 2017 and referenced FMD/DIR/CIR/GEN/08/007. All eligible transactions are permitted to access foreign exchange at this window.

– The operational rate for all government-related transactions shall be the weighted average rate of the preceding day’s executed transactions at the I&E window, calculated to two (2) decimal places.

– Proscription of trading limits on oversold FX positions with permission to hedge short positions with OTC futures. Limits on overbought positions shall be zero. Re-introduction of order-based two-way quotes, with bid-ask spread of N1. All transactions shall be cleared by a Central Counter Party (CCP).

The CBN has assured that further guidance on these changes will be communicated in due course.
