The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Wednesday 14th June 2023 announced the unification of all segments of the forex exchange (FX) market.
In a circular, the CBN said all FX windows are now collapsed into the investors & exporters (I&E) window.
According to the apex bank, the move is part of a series of immediate changes to operations in the Nigerian FX market.
The statement read, “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 FM/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 operational hours of trades shall be from 9am to 4pm, Nigeria time.”

The changes to operations in the country’s FX market implies that Nigeria has eased its control of the naira, allowing the local currency to freely float.
Meanwhile, a free-floating exchange rate occurs when a government allows the exchange rate to be determined purely by market forces and there is no attempt to ask the central bank to influence the external value of the exchange rate.
