The CBN New Dollar Policy: The PDP Is Right by arm4u: 7:47am On Aug 03, 2015

The PDP described the decision as illegal, unlawful, void, archaic and communist in nature, stressing that the President should be reminded that as a country, Nigeria was in a democracy and not military administration as in 1984.

PDP is very right.
Only kids and those who wait for monthly handouts will jubilate over the madness of Buhari and his CBN.

They are choking life out of international business.

Let me educate you folks.


We have a service which we procure from overseas,
we have a client in Nigeria who needs the service;

We pay our vendor in Dollars, so our client has to pays us in Dollars.

The business is transacted in dollars, We am not thieves.
We have nothing to do with oil let alone oil money.
We are not laundering any money for any body.

The policy has barred our client from paying using dollars.
Yet, We must pay our vendor in dollars.
Those of you who are haling it should explain to us how we can continue our business.

This archaic and myopic policy will simply snuff life out of our genuine efforts.

It is like banning cars because armed robbers use it to operate.

You can force Naira to improve in value, but you cannot force the economy to grow,


Well, am I surprised?
Didnt Buhari jail Fela for coming into Nigeria with Dollars he earned from handwork.

Do I blame Buhari?
Has he ventured into any business?
What does he know about money?
Did he not despise the business men when he visited the US?
Like somebody said, we have a celebrated illiterate as President.


Al I can say is, shame.

I do international trading...

In as much I have not review the recent CBN/Bank policies on DOM Accounts transaction restrictions, their are clear routes to pay your international partners.

Open a Form M with your bank, get a Bill of Collection, approach your bank for USD, if your transaction is not part of the items on CBN restriction you will surely get FX to settle your bills either through the CBN intervention window which is lower than 198 or through the inter-bank/parallel market in the range of 200 per USD.

Your bank will charge your Naira account for the USD equivalent.

You must be an ignoramus that does not know a jack about what you are writing about.

If your client rendered a service to you in Nigeria or wherever and your obligation for payment is due, are you not meant to just fill Form A with relevant documents and such fund can be sourced through CBN at the official rate and transferred accordingly to such country.

The honest truth is that rather than let the market sort itself out and look for other ways to generate forex as well as cut down on unnecessary imports, the Buhari administration is only interested in artificially manipulating the forex market in order to score cheaply with an artificially increase in the value of the Naira.

Manufacturers have cut down production to 50% due to high cost of forex and this is due largely to the fact that they ( manufacturers) know that the average Nigerian can not bear the cost in increase in production cost which is tied to crucial import inputs tied to the dollar.

If you ask me, I will simply let market forces determine the true value of the naira, impose high tariffs on imported finished goods and outright ban of unnecessary imports like toothpicks which was the line towed by the current CBN. What I do know is that the CBN is bowing to pressure to artificially increase the value of the Naira in order to make Buhari look good for his Plebian electorates.

This is where cheapskate politicking collides head on with sound economic policies.

If Emefile can not work as a technocrat then I suggest he resigns honorably rather than destroy the autonomy the CBN has garnered since 1999.

Bros every situation requires a pragmatic solution. We spend so much time brooding over what we call "problem" yet we fail to do research for a solution.

That your company must receive dollars in a countey that has Naira as its local currency is illegal so in a way you do not have a justifiable reason for blaming govt policy.

You can use paypal to receive funds and transfer via paypal to your vendor. Please do your research on this. Your naira account gets debited for your remittance so you do not need to keep a domiciliary account.

In trying to criticise government policies, avoid siubding like an aggrieved PDP member. It is better you focus on how your lot can be bettered. All these politicians have nothing to offer you. So please seek ways of bettering your own lot.

This policy you are raising red flag over makes sense to people like me. From 243 to between 220 and 230 to a dollar. Do you know how much has been saved by businesses as a result of these?

The dollar is high in Nigeria because of. speculation. If you have excess dollar in circulation, the naira is strengthened. Those who have stolen our common patrimony cannot launder those funds. Moreso you cannot blame the banks for what they are doing. Please read the CBN governor's response to this. What is unfavourable to one man is the most favourable to others. That has been how life has always been.

All the best

I share your feelings, but what other ways would the market generate FX when they don't trade in FX? Is it from our criminal politicians who have stockpile dollars?

I admit that Emefie is attempting manual manipulation for short term Naira appreciation to keep his portfolio.

However, we all need to objectively address our lingering and continuous Naira value depreciation.

You know nothing,

There is hardly any forex trading in Nigeria for same of profit the only forex trading we have is driving by importers to secure goods for the local market.

You depend on oil for all forex and in return you buy every single thing including food with forex.

This is the main problem.

If you like have $200 trillion dollars in the CBN vault as long as we still import virtually everything we consume then it will sooner or later dry up.
