The Central Bank has said that it is working with the commercial banks to clear the $10 billion foreign exchange backlog within the next 2 weeks.
This was disclosed by the acting Governor of the CBN, Folashodun Shonubi, who broke the news at a forum on Tuesday in Lagos when he was confronted with questions on the lingering challenges in the foreign exchange market.
Shonubi noted the backlogs would be cleared through different structures within the forex market, adding that banks, which control 75% of the forex transactions, will play a significant role in seeing that the backlog is cleared.
