Why won't they hoard when the official rate is tied. If there is one thing money hates, it is uncertainty. Carry on Buhari. We are waiting at the bottom.

You think that without a clear improvement in the economic fundamentals and structural defects in the economy that Naira can appreciate on a sustained basis? As long as oil price stays low (low supply of $$) and we continue to import every thing (high demand of $$), the exchange rate will remain high. You will get such parabolic movements every now and then, but never a sustained appreciation.

Ubah cannot perform any magic that will last more than 1 Week. [b]I dare him! [/b]Does he have unlimited Reserves to supply the market?

Prepare for an exchange rate below N250/$ for a sustained period of time. Even your CBN can't do much right now, except our FX earnings improve or our import substitution programs start to work.

My dear sir,I do understand how your knowledge of economics is in play here,but first realise this,The price of petrol isn't the the reason the Naira depreciated or saudi arabia,russia and every oil dependent nation will be in our similar mess. This is purely a poilicy ish, and the depreciation is ARTIFICIAL,aren't u getting it?? Isn't our exchange rate still at 199 to a dollar officially? See beyond the books my man.

This situation we found our self in, really sucks, and i'm sick and tired of this. My problem is not now much naira is to dollar but rather how it move back and forth at will. I'm afraid to sending money to China because i don't want to send money today and wake up tomorrow to hear that it's now 1usd to 190.
This is not the change we voted for oo.

if you reading internationally and you still buy from BDC then I think you have a problem... where you can send the money from your account and d exchange rate is not 355

Saudi Arabia and Russia had Foreign Reserves in excess of $750b and $450b respectively before the crises. They have spent over $150b each defending their currencies preventing it from crashing. Nigeria does not have such luxury of high Reserves to use to support demand.

I understand that part of the Naira depreciation is speculative/artificial. But N200/$ is unrealistic right now, else CBN would provide enough $$ to meet demand at that price.

Fear and greed rules the financial markets worldwide.

When naira appreciated, the demand for dollar went up, since more Nigerians saw that they could buy dollars cheaper than the day before. Simultaneously, those with dollars were hesitant to sell, since the dollar had effectively depreciated.

So there were fewer dollars on the market at the end of the day (fewer sellers), yet more demand for the dollar (more buyers).

This lead to the reversal. What we need is consistent influx of dollars to make sure it doesn't get scarce, but of course that is why we're in this jam in the first place

SAI Ifeanyi Ubah, come and take your blame because you took the praise of the gullible and even jump to social media to appreciate their support. their praise of you just shows how poverty has affected Nigerians reasoning between me and you, we know that what happened was as a result of panic sales by Nigerian speculators that heard of the arrival of foreign speculators on Friday which brought the dollar to 365 Naira.

Saudi Arabia is facing exactly what Nigeria is facing but they took a different approach to solving their illiquidity problem.

The king of Saudi handed over the economic matters of the kingdom to his brother which has the expertise in that regard. (I hope PMB will learn that.)

His brother consistuted an economic team which in turn recommended that experts be brought in from Canada to supervise the economy in this trying time. they will do this in consulting capacity. Our president and his team of junketeers will not ask the Saudi team how they are weathering the storm. I am not one of those fooled that he has gone to pray for Nigeria to be good. Thats a dumb thing to sell. Nigerias problem is not from heaven. we refused to save when we ought to, we refused to diversify when we needed to . so how exactly is it God that is doing us.

The Saudis have a team of 9 experts who operate on the model of "PERFORM OR GO" these experts meet on weekly basis with ministers and heads of various ministries. woe be tied you if you dont show up in that meeting with tangible progress report. once the team recommends you should go, the king fires without recourse to you. every one is on top of their game to perform.

since our president appointed ministers, i can only remember 7 who appears to be on the media. I dont even know most of them talk more of performance.

Why did Saudi go to Canada to get experts. Canada was the only advanced nation in the world that during the 2007/8 credit crunch stood the heat and was never affected.

nations like Germany, U.K and U.S could not understand the magic Canada did. but the man behind the magic was Mark Carny, the then governor of the bank of Canada. In 2013, England broke their own law to hire this same man who managed Canadian economy in trying time to run their national bank and made him chairman of monetary policy

Saudi has learned and gone for other retired team members of Mark Carny.

Our president must go to any mile possible to have working brains on monetary and fiscal policy.

If we dont get it right and define our path in the next four to five months, this nation is headed for a cesspit.

Prof Wole Soyinka , Funsho Philips and other observers including myself are calling on mr president to assemble his economic team before its too late. the honey moon is over. we wasted time in appointing ministers and that is why the embarrasment of the budget. permanent secretaries and directors prepared a budget of yam in the absence of ministers. the lazy ministers came and never read it. here we are.

enough of the junketing, there is work to be done. The energy exacted on begging nations to help us will do better if we channel it to work.

............Fantastic submission, l said the same thing but in a different form to my friend few days ago in Nigeria, you hit the nail on the head, except Nigeria wakes up and do the right thing, we might be heading to a very dicey moment, enough of this blame game, God has given us brain to think so we can allow him rest......

if your Business is GENUINE, you will be very happy now, cos you can fill your Form-M and then collect your Dollars from the CBN at #199.

The funniest part of this problem no one is seeing is that banks are happy because they are making serious profit and they know they are the cause of this problem. It took me thorough thinking to understand banks are the problem.
