I still don't understand why we have bdc. Why are they allowed to function?

APC Bad market, #Obi 2023 come enjoy stable economy.

okeysoninv:
they should abolish official and approve black market rate so that naira will exchange to #3000. illiterate everywhere. even USA and China doesn't float their currency. no way in the world allowed black market to determine the trajectory of it's currency except in Nigeria. rather kill the spectators and hoarders that buys up dollars available. CBN can regulate the bank but can't monitor aboki BDC. it's a shame of the country

I swear, govt need to ban bureau de change for life

THE CURRENCY SITUATION: A MUST READ

1). So many Nigerians have stacked Naira notes in their closets and are cut up with this policy of the CBN. There is a rush by ignorant Nigerians to convert their Naira to Dollars. Naira is at all time low against dollar and it's going to go even lower. For example a man converts #10m to 12,500 USD at the current exchange rate. It's easier to keep it with himself than to deposit in a Domiciliary account with a DMB because of the stringent policies around FX cash deposits. He hopes that by December when the new Nigeria is floated, he'd have his FX converted back to Naira from the Aboki guys he bought his USD from.

2)The Aboki man who sold FX to his customers at exorbitant rate excitedly goes to the DMB to deposit the millions of Naira he got the the FX swap he did. He knows he is getting richer in geometric proportion by this new policy by the CBN. He awaits the printing of the new Naira notes so as to reconvert the Naira he has in his account today USD and continue making more money.

3). All customers who deposited their Naira notes, those depositing and those who would be depositing are eagerly waiting for December 15. The DMBs are also waiting for the said date. Meanwhile there is a cashless policy waiting to hit all Nigerians by January 2023. On December 15th, customers would rush to the DMBs for new notes so as to withdraw as much as they can before January when the cashless policy would be effected 100%. The DMBS would rush to the central bank branches to withdraw new notes. The branches would go to the H/O for new notes. H/O would release just a little to branches based on cash management policies. CBN Branches would release in trinkets to DMB branches and tell them to go manage their customers. DMBs would revert back to their customers based on the low available new cash notes. There would be slight panicking as customers who deposited old naira notes cannot retrieve same notes from the DMBs anymore because of unavailability. Remember, digital money and paper money is still money and so customers would be advised to use electronic channels to make payments.

4) The Aboki guy who kept millions of Naira is also a victim of the shortage of new notes and so he cannot buy back FX from his customers who were hoping to return the ones the got earlier ones the new notes are in place. Aboki begins to panick as well. Those who have FX and need naira notes begin to sell their FX to people who have naira whether old or new just to cash in before January. In doing so, USD begins to crash as rapidly as it rose. Much of the FX becomes deposited in DMBs as carrying the raw cash isn't useful anymore. The CBN is happy because there is more FX in the banking system to give for Forms A, M and Q. Naira begins to gain rapidly against the dollar.

5). In January, cashless policy takes effect. So even if the CBN makes available more new notes to DMBs, customers cannot withdraw above the stipulated across-the-counter limit to avoid heavy charges. Customers are forced to use electronic payments, FX policy and transfer and withdrawal is so stiff that swapping FX and Naira is no more a gain. USD parallel and black market prices crash all the way down to CBN rate. Inflation based on importation of goods and services is checked as Naira becomes strong against dollar. People who have physical dollars would lose. There would be limited access to naira notes as electronic transfers become prevalent. Enaira purchases also become more as Nigerians look for most seamless methods to do payments. By June, whoever takes over power would have a soft landing as this policy by the CBN has controlled a whole lot of inflation, corruption and economic degradation.

6). If you have Naira notes stashed with you, return them back to the bank through your account. Don't try to play smart trying to beat the system, you may become the architect of your own loss. Your 12,500 USD may fall from #10,000,000 to #5,000,000 in June, 2023. Meanwhile if you put same #10,000,000 in Treasury Bills at the current 14.5%, you should be gaining about #725,000 at the same period.

Let's try and look at the bright side of things, Nigeria shall be great by God's grace.

i pray it work like that.

englishmart:
This country is badly governed. Official exchange rate is 439, but you can only access it at 800+. Are we no killing ourselves?
This government is bent on impoverishing the masses, and making things as tough on them as possible.
Feudism they say, thrives when the people are poorer and less educated.

Exactly, the ultimate plan is to reduce the majority to paupers and peasants.

Irresponsible governance is now a global best practice, see case of UK, US , Canada , France and Australia.

Emiefele should be sacked!!

tamdun:

I swear, govt need to ban bureau de change for life

the people that needs the foreign currency are importers, foreign travellers, schools, and medical. but here CBN allows arbitrage traders and Hoarders to kill the currency.

I am not good in economics. What if they abolish the official rate and the now naira now floats to USD1/NGN2000. Is it not worse for those who need dollar for legitimate reasons? Like importers, school students etc?

APC government is the real deal, TINUBU should come and make it 2k per $ already.

It is only Senseless people that will still support APC.

/
So those with license can spend N4.8m buying $10k per week and sell at N8.5m/ week. That's N3.7m profit per week that translates to N14.8m profit every month by arbitrage.

Good business if you ask me. Now imagine individuals with multiple licenses

/

I believe banks should be changing money for us not allow us be trailed and robbed have a BDC area that is safe a discreet and hire staff that are loyal and trust worthy and won’t eat from both sides

More important that’s safe and secure like they have abroad. Also they should stop eating twice from the figure. It’s not about religion man is just naturally greedy takes the grace to be content and ambitious.

Instead of him to ask federal government to close black market he is there talking nonsense.
Nigeria if am not mistaken is one of few countries that operate parallel financial market where the unofficial is in charge of price control.
Imagine that the Aboki is the one that determines the price of how much they want to buy and sell, the other day I went wuse zone 4 to change Euro the Aboki I contacted told that the price is #625 only for me to get there and he said that Price has crashed to #610 that if am ready he will pay but I refused and I started going round and in that the same market I met another Aboki that paid 6#30
for the same Euro in the same market.
If black market is scraped it gives the CBN the power to control the price and again any politician caught sharing foreign currency should be jailed.
If more all the foreign currency in black market is injected back into the CBN and was are able to raise our export to generate more Dollars we won't have issues.

So you don't know the Govt. under Buhari once let the Naira float?

DryMouth:

I pity the people that will heed to you advice, especially the last paragraph. You think govt will make naira appreciate against dollar when their own money is in dollars. Be deceiving yourself

Exactly such naive and stupid analysis, naira crash is a balance of trade problem , low revenue from exports and bad governance.

Anyone saying that new currency will appreciate the naira is an idiot.

If the Naira is floated it will reach 5000 to a dollar.

Why should the CBN allow our economy free fall., Why should CBN allow hawks to kill the naira,

Aloy does not stay in Nigeria and earns money in dollars so is good for him but that the naira is losing its value.



If I were the CBN:

I will ban dollars in Nigeria, and convert every dorm account to Naira, if you traveling out you should be given travellers cheque.

I will make ownership of physical dollars criminal offence

Even if Nigerians forget Buhari in a short while, Nigerians WILL NEVER forget Emefiele for a very LONGGGGG TIME.

THE Worst CBN Governor that ever existed.

You don't float naira
If you close borders and still importing PMS and luxury itemd
If you fix rates of Naira, but print still printing more Naira
If you introduce cashless policy but nothing to enforce it
If individuals operate dorm accounts but wouldn't use cbn rate
If you borrow in $ but sell PMS in Naira
If you have oil but allow oil theft
If you fail to cut cost of governance
Result is catastrophic economy


If you want to float naira liberate the economy
Open borders
Stop printing more Naira
Stop external burrowing
Enforce cashless policy
Stop oil theft
Cut cost of governance

Nice analysis. Only if it will work that way.

Naira is at all time low against dollar and it's going to go even lower. For example a man converts #10m to 12,500 USD at the current exchange rate. It's easier to keep it with himself than to deposit in a Domiciliary account with a DMB because of the stringent policies around FX cash deposits. He hopes that by December when the new Nigeria is floated, he'd have his FX converted back to Naira from the Aboki guys he bought his USD from.

2)The Aboki man who sold FX to his customers at exorbitant rate excitedly goes to the DMB to deposit the millions of Naira he got the the FX swap he did. He knows he is getting richer in geometric proportion by this new policy by the CBN. He awaits the printing of the new Naira notes so as to reconvert the Naira he has in his account today USD and continue making more money.

3). All customers who deposited their Naira notes, those depositing and those who would be depositing are eagerly waiting for December 15. The DMBs are also waiting for the said date. Meanwhile there is a cashless policy waiting to hit all Nigerians by January 2023. On December 15th, customers would rush to the DMBs for new notes so as to withdraw as much as they can before January when the cashless policy would be effected 100%. The DMBS would rush to the central bank branches to withdraw new notes. The branches would go to the H/O for new notes. H/O would release just a little to branches based on cash management policies. CBN Branches would release in trinkets to DMB branches and tell them to go manage their customers. DMBs would revert back to their customers based on the low available new cash notes. There would be slight panicking as customers who deposited old naira notes cannot retrieve same notes from the DMBs anymore because of unavailability. Remember, digital money and paper money is still money and so customers would be advised to use electronic channels to make payments.

4) The Aboki guy who kept millions of Naira is also a victim of the shortage of new notes and so he cannot buy back FX from his customers who were hoping to return the ones the got earlier ones the new notes are in place. Aboki begins to panick as well. Those who have FX and need naira notes begin to sell their FX to people who have naira whether old or new just to cash in before January. In doing so, USD begins to crash as rapidly as it rose. Much of the FX becomes deposited in DMBs as carrying the raw cash isn't useful anymore. The CBN is happy because there is more FX in the banking system to give for Forms A, M and Q. Naira begins to gain rapidly against the dollar.

5). In January, cashless policy takes effect. So even if the CBN makes available more new notes to DMBs, customers cannot withdraw above the stipulated across-the-counter limit to avoid heavy charges. Customers are forced to use electronic payments, FX policy and transfer and withdrawal is so stiff that swapping FX and Naira is no more a gain. USD parallel and black market prices crash all the way down to CBN rate. Inflation based on importation of goods and services is checked as Naira becomes strong against dollar. People who have physical dollars would lose. There would be limited access to naira notes as electronic transfers become prevalent. Enaira purchases also become more as Nigerians look for most seamless methods to do payments. By June, whoever takes over power would have a soft landing as this policy by the CBN has controlled a whole lot of inflation, corruption and economic degradation.

6). If you have Naira notes stashed with you, return them back to the bank through your account. Don't try to play smart trying to beat the system, you may become the architect of your own loss. Your 12,500 USD may fall from #10,000,000 to #5,000,000 in June, 2023. Meanwhile if you put same #10,000,000 in Treasury Bills at the current 14.5%, you should be gaining about #725,000 at the same period.

Let's try and look at the bright side of things, Nigeria shall be great by God's grace.

Brilliant!!!
I hope CBN would enforce cashless policy.

ppogba:


Emefiele banned them when he came initially but he reversed the decision later perhaps due to pressure.

Truth is the BDC guys are more powerful than you and I can envisage and Imagine.

The BDCs are mostly owned by powerful northerners. That region controls the country and that will make it difficult to ban BDC.

The northerners you see on the street asking you to buy/sell dollars are the foot soldiers of those powerful people.

What we experience in this country today is that Nigerian people and the government don't care about fixing the country.

This official rate thing is only a ploy for government officials to get USD at a cheaper rate. It's common knowledge
