This makes sense
DeLaRue:
I appreciate your understanding of the problem, though your solution will not work.

You see, a business based in the US or Europe cannot accept Naira, because they don't have any use for naira in their country.

They need to receive their money in the currency of the country they are located in or do business from. So, even when Amazon shows prices in Naira and you buy with your Zenith it GTB naira card, Amazon does not receive naira. Zenith or GTB has to send the equivalent dollar amount to Amazon through Nigeria's central bank.

So, as you can see, your bank and CBN still have to pay Amazon in dollars.

You are also not correct that if foreign companies accept Naira, it will increase the value of naira. Since these foreign companies e.g Amazon don't operate in Nigeria, they don't need Naira since they can't spend naira in their country.

Even if they open bank accounts in Nigeria (which they won't) and credit their sales into the local accounts, at some point, they will need to evacuate the money to their country. Meaning, they will need dollars, euros or British pounds which the CBN will decline to provide them. So, they are back to square one.

We saw this problem with foreign airlines in Nigeria, some of which have not been able to repartriate their naira earnings to their countries for several years because the CBN refused to provide the equivalent foreign currency.

EroticJane:
those foreign companies you mentioned delisted Nigeria because of her citizens fraudulent acts online. if any online company wants to market her services to Nigerians, they should start accepting the naira as payment. by so doing, the naira will begin to appreciate. but NO some of you guys will still not understand
Accepting the naira is not the problem ,even if the exchange rates is 10,000 to 1 dollar , the main problem is does CBN have the capacity to fulfill sending the fx to those countries when they want to repatriate their funds in dollars ?
You can't tell a company that is operating in your country to by force invest their profit in your country. It is like you going to Ghana and the Ghana govt says every money you make must remain in Ghana .

I swear many people saying cool cool doesn't understand what the whole thing is all about.
Because how can you stop a fully licensed commercial bank in your country from accepting deposits? It doesn't matter whether it is local or multinational,the fact is they paid for the license.
If by implications,maybe CBN believes this multinationals are remitting huge fx back ,then if that is the case ,let' them stop mtn and other big companies from remitting fx back. This action will create panic in the business sector

Bad news... want to restrict foreign investments, bussinesses in the banking sector. A country praying for foreign direct investment or foreign investors to come and invest their bussinesses in the country ...we are discouraging them and restricting them...I do not understand

This Emefiele and his CBN are the worst thing to happen to Nigeria. Never been this worse.

A clueless president with a clueless CBN gov is a disater. How he is able to be there for years baffles me. Also, why there is no clamour to remove him as you people did with Sanusi is still a puzzle

Empowering the same people oppressing you and you want change. It is called scoring an own goal.

I have always advised that Igbos should set up a system where they keep the dollars sent by their relatives amongst themselves, and sell to those that need it for business in exchange for naira, instead of letting it fall into Aboki's hand.

You are only empowering Aboki.

Nigeria asking foreign banks to take their businesses elsewhere. Retrogressive policies that shrinks the economy.

babajero:
the problem is not mainly emiefele, he is just the fall guy.
True! But the guy's equally clueless

I mean look at these indices below:

Loan to Deposit ratio: approximately 65%
This means banks have to give at least 65% of all their deposits as loans increasing cash in circulation)

T bills rate: hovers around a maximum of 6%
This discourages would be investors from lending to the government and increases money in circulation

Prime lending rate: approximately 12%
Maximum lending rate: 28%
These coupled with the loan to deposit ratio means banks would push their staff to source for loans resulting in an increase in non quality loans and putting the banks at risk as well as increasing the amount of money in circulation.

As at yesterday Nigeria has the highest amount of Naira in circulation (about 45 trillion) in the history of the Naira. Again excess money in circulation

As any elementary economist would know too much money in circulation = Inflation = death of the economy.

And we have printed more money than ever. But what is this money backed by?? Certainly not the dollar as we have seen a slump in foreign earnings in our recent past coupled with a depletion of our reserves.

But his (Emefiele) policies have done nothing but encourage inflation. Omo I wonder who his advisers are sef

Emiefele cannot dictate or supervise the destruction of the economy of Nigeria, infact Emiefele have nothing to do with the policies governing Nigerian monetary system, in a country like Nigeria where the executive and a select few controls everything right from the security forces, the corruption fighters and even both the legislature and judiciary, emiefele is just a pawn whose name is just used to complete and launder the image of the south in a pervased appointment, nothing more nothing less.

What emiefele is to Nigerian economy and CBN is just a spokesman whose name have to appear in any financial disaster that has already been planned and executed. Let's use the vice President as an example, when the president travelled and handed over to him as an acting president we all saw how smooth most things were from sacking of corrupt officials to appointing a cjn, we all knew what happened when buhari came back, till date buhari never handed over to him again when traveling, that is to show you how manipulative buhari government is. Another example is the spokesman for the military in the Lekki massacre, though he knew nothing because he couldn't have given order for the soldiers to go to Lekki, but him as a spokesman has put him in the eyes of the public to the extent people are protesting his inclusion in the campaign council of the labour party, now nobody is talking about the GOC of the barracks or the commander of the battalion but everyone is focusing on a common spokesman who have no other job than to speak on behalf of the military.

Emiefele don't have any power, most of the things you hear he said is only like that because the words have his signature, that is all. Go and check, many of the organisations today have the people who heads and destroys them from the north but have a spokesman or secretary from the south, and that is the person people read about and that is the person the people will say destroyed the organisation.

Emiefele is a pawn who is paid for his silence or else he will become a scapegoat.

No. They can operate.

They are legally established in Nigeria as they are registered with CAC, have offices/branches here, and are regulated by the CBN.

The financial institutions CBN is stopping from offering services to Nigerias are those offering 'online' financial/banking services from abroad. They have no office here and are not registered with the CAC.

It is a perfectly sensible policy from the CBN.
I hope agencies like moneygram, etc, are not affected in this madness?

Well you have a point.

But if that's the case then the man has no honour.

Why not resign than be remembered for destroying economic foundations the likes of Soludo and Sanusi built.......yeah he would be used as a scapegoat truly.

At the end of the day, all blame would be on him and not those pulling strings behind the scences

Thats a poor defence of the man.

The CBN laws back him up to be independent of government interference.

He is just clueless.

My take is the laws allowing only banking directors to become CBN governor is stale and an outdated practice

I know just like the law backs the CJN that is not even appointed by the president, but still been manipulated by the president. Not talking of someone who is appointed by the president and can be sacked at any time.

If buhari have unfettered influence over the legislature and judiciary then who is the CBN governor?

Emiefele is just like a spokesman to buhari and his cabal, all they needed is just a southern name to cover all their atrocities, if he declined doing as directed they will use him as a scapegoat.

Why is it that they always mention Emiefele who is just a CBN governor, but seldom talk about the main people who is really killing the economy persons like the minister of finance, the minister of humanitarian and social whatever and the president himself.
