BusinessInvestors Might Be Excited By Nigeria’s New Free Floating Currency But ...... by AfroBlue(op): 10:02am On Jun 30, 2016
A very good read! And very few reads on NL know that the NCB is owned and controlled by a very powerful global private banking entity.

And that Oga @ the top statement from a couple of years ago is now fully ingrained in the 9ja lexicon. grin


OGA AT THE TOP

Investors might be excited by Nigeria’s new free floating currency but the president isn’t

http://qz.com/718563/investors-might-be-excited-by-nigerias-new-free-floating-currency-but-the-president-isnt/


By Yomi Kazeem June 29, 2016 Quartz Africa




After months of strict currency controls, Nigeria’s new currency policy which saw the naira floated and valued by market forces kicked in last week.

The strict controls, intended to stem the flow of foreign exchange out of the country in light of depleting foreign reserves, resulted damaging effects across board. Investors and international companies could not repatriate funds and, in some cases, shut down operations. Local businesses were forced to purchase foreign exchange on the parallel market at more expensive rates and regular Nigerians felt the brunt as food prices shot up amid a fuel shortage crisis which was also a direct result of the strict controls. Travelers were also hamstrung abroad with banks placing tight limits on debit cards. These effects explained why the news of the currency float was received with a sense of relief by investors.

But in contrast, Nigeria’s president Buhari has expressed a displeasure with the new currency policy. At a meeting with business leaders on Monday (June 27), Buhari described the devaluation of the naira as a result of the currency float as “ruthless” saying he remains unconvinced that it was the right move.
“I’m not an economist neither a businessman, I fail to appreciate the economic explanation,” Buhari said. “How much benefits have we derived from naira devaluation in the past?”

Buhari’s comments fit with his publicly stated stance that a devaluation will amount to “killing the naira”. But such comments have also resulted in questions about the independence of Nigeria’s Central Bank and whether the apex bank’s agenda was dictated by economics or politics. However, the president’s obvious disagreement with the policy suggests the apex bank remains in control of monetary and currency policy.

Buhari’s displeasure likely stems from the naira’s sharp fall against the dollar following the float and the impact on ordinary Nigerians. But while the naira’s value was previously pegged lower than it now trades, the strict controls limited access to foreign exchange. Increased access to foreign exchange, seen as critical to boosting investor confidence, will immediately ease business concerns. Long-term, the Central Bank is hoping that by letting the value of the naira be determined by market forces, it can plug the gap between the official and parallel market values of the naira.

Chinese supermarket where Nigerian shoppers are denied entry

The management of a Chinese supermarket in Gwarinpa area of Abuja has said Nigerians are denied entry into the premises allegedly because of their nefarious activities.

The management however said Nigerians are allowed to enter the supermarket individually and not in group.

The supermarket, which is situated at 9 Bauchi Street, War College Estate, Gwarinpa, is a residential building turned supermarket and without a name with only a Chinese decoration on the gate.

Our reporters were also denied entry as the gateman, simply called ‘Maxwell’ said they were more than one.

“You can only be allowed in if you are accompanied by policemen, because you are more than one” he said.

One of the attendants, Samuel Azenda said the supermarket reached the decision after it was robbed by Nigerians in May during which more than N2.5 million was stolen.

He said until May, the gate was always open to all and sundry.

The owners of the supermarket were not available to speak to our reporters as they were said to have been flown to China for medical treatment as a result of the injuries sustained during the robbery.

Azenda, who was beaten during the robbery said about five personnel were beaten after a group of four armed men entered the premises in May.

He said the case was reported at the Gwarinpa Police Station adding that the decision of the management to ban Nigerians from entering the premises was not geared to discriminate between tribe and colour.

He explained that since the supermarket specialises in Chinese foods and items, Nigerians are not their sole consumers but only a few that patronises Chinese products. He also said those people are always welcome at the supermarket.
