funny People. Let it come down to 200 naira

It is very obvious that you don't understand economy.
If it goes up you complain, if it goes down you find a way to still make no sense out of the effort they put in.
Are you ever grateful at all?

What is holding it from getting to 700?? I thought they say he is the master planner, he should take it back to where he met it the way he brought it up

Tell the truth, are you happy or sad about this news?

It's not about being happy or sad but it's obvious the cbn is subsidising the dollar rate so there's nothing special, it's normal. Buh my problems why make us suffer inflation when he could have continued subsidising the naira. The problem the country is currently having is production.

Emefiele's policy of defending the naira!
Only thing is that the naira is foolishly being defended at a higher price that does not favour the govt nor the citizens.

How can the illegitimate president damage his presidency by himself?!

Could you please elaborate on how the Naira is being protected? We are eager to benefit from your extensive expertise and insights.

USD/Naira was N490 = $1 when Tinubu became president less than one year ago.

We need to get there first, then celebrate any value gain from that point

which 490, if you want to talk negative you use official but positive you use bdc

keep up the hatred

Are you saying we are subsidizing the naira now? Any fact to buttress this view?

It’s only a matter of time prices will drop eventually but it won’t while the rate is not yet stable.

Anything below N1000 (even temporarily) is a big opportunity to DCA the sucker like crazy.

Their official mantra "some people are not happy about this news" what is there to be happy for? For Christ sake, baba go slow left dollar at the rate of #700. They should bring it down to that price first before they can start reducing it. Then, "some people" will be happy about this news.

No matter what Tinubu accomplishes, it seems it will never bring you joy, especially since your favoured candidate, Obi, isn’t the president. Your discontent will likely persist because our collective vote "will never" align with your "personal preference". grin

Do you actually think its easy to crash the dollar without pumping money into the system is Nigeria producing anything? The cbn is simply giving back what they made during the inflation

This is not how you met the naira ooo. Return it back to the way you met it. Don't be deceived by thinking our economy is improving. It has to first return to the way he met it then we can actually see what he is doing.

If Emefiele defend the naira the way this present cbn is doing, using BDC as a control merchant, naira will not have reach 750 in the black market. But let see how this goes sha. Every currency in the world is defended, even the US DOLLAR IS control by the fed. Pounds, yen and others. Like I used to say naira is in this state bcs of corruption, Argentina devalue to 850 almost same time as Nigeria, the lowest it has gone to is 865 peso. Corruption is what is killing us in Nigeria.

But they are right. No indices justify this artificial rise from economy point of view.

What did Nigeria do differently?

Prices of goods are still expensive
Imported goods are on the high side

Please consider a different rationale. The Naira has been performing robustly for approximately six weeks prior to the release of this news. Furthermore, a sum of 1 billion dollars is insufficient to stabilize the Naira. According to Punch Newspapers, the CBN once expended $11.24 billion in a span of seven months to bolster the Naira as reported on December 1, 2022. Therefore, your presumptions appear to be unfounded.

So I should believe anything that is written on a pages of newspaper? I haven't seen any reduction in the price of commodities to show that naira is improving.

How did u expect price of goods being sold by Nigerian to come down? Even if dollar is #300 they will find another excuses of insecurity or dangote didn't sell his fuel at #65/ litre etc. They are expecting prices to go up again for Thier personal gains. Patriotism is not in Nigeria, they claim to still be selling old stock but if dollar is 1500 tomorrow the price of old stock will follow immediately. most evil people prefers bad news on Nigeria everyday but God is disappointing them.

Bro it's not up to 8 months since the dollar crashed from 1900 to 1130 as of today. The cbn was simply buying time for dangote refinery to start work that is why they have pumped money the made through the inflation to crash the dollar. Don't forget it brought a negative effect on the economy

In your initial comment, you attributed the dollar’s decline to the deployment of 1 billion dollars from our "foreign exchange reserves". However, your subsequent statement suggests that the dollar’s fall was due to channeling funds generated from "inflation". These conflicting statements highlight a "discrepancy" in your explanations.

This is good. Government now need to back this up with serious price control policy and its implementation so that all those things that went up and have refused to come down will be forced to come down so the people can get the benefits too.

This butterfly effect of spending from our foreign reserve to cushion the naira is only but white washing. It's not sustainable and certainly, the naira will go up when significant amount of the FR has been depleted.
We need to revamp our economy through our economic policies. We need to attract foreign investors. Improve our infrastructures and business climate. For now, we are just deceiving ourselves.
