It is only confusing for racketeers. Pay for goods and services rendered in Nigeria, in Naira -- 'chikena'! 1 Like |

Great article. I was just discussing the implication of this with my director yesterday. We have a lot of USD payments (rent etc) and we also receive the bulk of our income in USD. We are really unsure at this point on how to proceed. However most of our vendors will flatly refuse NGN payment or ask us to use an exorbitant rate for the exchange. CBN had better come out and clarify this. I understand they are trying to protect the naira but they should be clear and enforce this also after providing clarity. Azubike. 1 Like |

The banks have now sponsoring Newspaper article to put pressure on CBN to liberalize the Forex market so that the monumental fraud and round-tripping can continue. Thats economic Sabotage and shame on all those who are behind this. 2 Likes |

redcliff: If that will help boost the value of the Naira, fine (the only issue is, with 9ja, you never know). Simply tell your clients to pay dollars, into your dollar account in 9ja, or transfer to your account overseas. There are some other 'short cuts' around it . . . can't say them here. |

989900: I wonder how reducing the daily/yearly spending limit would boos the Naira value. I still think it is the same thing as also sending the money via a dollar account which is still worse. |

Re: Cbn’s Directive On Use Of Foreign Currency, A Confusing Signal by 989900: 1:27pm On Apr 17, 2015 |
redcliff: Well, their argument is, it will curtail the demand for dollars (and honestly, some are doing currency racketeering, 'cause of the huge margin between the official rate, and parallel market rate . . . which IMO, there are other smart ways to curtail), but there are just too many loop holes around the idea of limiting withdrawal limits -- now they've just buttered the bread of foreign banks ATMs. Importing refined petroleum products, currency racketeering, and looting by politicians and their cronies, account for more than 75% of the Naira woes, but honest business men have to pay for it. OTOH, I totally agree with no payment for goods and services rendered in Nigeria, by Nigerian companies. |

989900: Dollar payments for Good and services rendered in Nigeria is what I am totally against and this is what this thread is talking about which I am in total support of. however, my comment was on a similar policy for use of Nigerian cards outside Nigeria's shores. 50k per year? Thats just the most annoying policy ever! |

redcliff: You are looking at it from just one side. For the banks to ensure that you can use your card outside Nigeria and pay in dollars, they have to source for the dollars from CBN which puts pressure on the exchange rate. This could have a negative effect on the exchange rate which defeats their aim. 1 Like |
