Naira Makes U-turn, Drops To N385 by Limitednow: 5:10pm On Mar 30, 2017
AFTER weeks of regaining strength on the foreign exchange market, the naira moved in a reverse direction and dropped, albeit by a small margin, to 385 as against 382 on Thursday morning.

However, the tale on the international scene is different, as it rose to 308.05 to a dollar, as against 314.75 in the early hours of the day.



At the parallel market, the naira maintained its rate against the British pound, but exchanged at 410 to the euro as against 400 at the start of trading.

At the international market, the naira rose to 385.09 as against 391.04 to a pound and 330.59 as against 338.07 to the euro.

The apex bank announced an adjustment to its foreign exchange policy; making foreign exchange available for tuition, medical expenses and basic travel allowance.



It earlier directed banks to sell forex at 375 but amended the policy on Monday, and asked banks to sell at 360.

The smart ones knew already that the CBN policy will not be sustainable enough to defend our currency as oil price in the market is dropping and our reserve is indicating red signal to us. It may tumble to N400 before Monday from the look of things

Earlier today or yesterday CBN were boasting they will fight it to N305. So now what's going on?

Anyway speculators has purchased all the cheap dollars available hence ready to sell when it tumble to all time low.

The unstable nature of our currency is one of the reason foreign investors are scared of investing in nigeria.

Modath and lordadam, over to you. cool

Offcourse not surprised at all. ..what the CBN is doing is just stop gap/palative measures it won't last long or how do you think we can always pump in foriegn currency whenever we want and not expect our external reserve were the money is coming from not to get depleted thereby hindering further pumping indirectly taken us to square 1...#I might be wrong

All these manipulation CBN is doing is a waste of time.
They should stop creating artificial exchange rate and just float the currency.

They are intentionally creating corruption for themselves by always selling dollars at a lower rate than the true market value. The samr people that bought the dollars will turn around and sell it to the people that need it at the true market rate.

When it's a bad news why are u guys always happy to make comments and turn prophets of doom? It goes up to 200 u say it's a fake rise, it falls to 500 u say you knew it. If Nigeria were to be ur personal business will u always speculate bad tins for her? No white man will come here to repair tins for us we will. Learn to stay positive In life so as to lways attract positive things. Cheers all d same.
