Your use of English does not suggest you are more intelligent than others.

Anyway, the logic behind the floating of the Naira,is for it to attain its natural market value,whether high or low,such that CBN would no longer further deplete our forex reserves,defending the Naira from falling.


The depletion of the forex reserves was boosted by the fixed rate regime,because CBN was supplying forex from the reserves,to meet up with the excess demand.

But when you float the Naira, the excess demand for forex ,would be automatically curtailed on a daily basis,no need for CBN intervention.


The more productive and less import dependent the economy becomes,the lower the demand for forex and thus the higher the value of the Naira.

It is a marathon race and not a sprint.



It's too bad and I pity you because your yardstick for measuring intelligence is English. I used pidgin in my comment, didn't that tell you that I'm not here to blow grammar, but to state the fact!!

Naira cannot rise if Nigerians continue to depend on imported goods. If we do not export more products to boost our fx reserve, if there's no favourable government policies and amenities to encourage production and consumption of locally made products.

Una be the same people wey hail tinubu when he said that the CBN should print more currency note during COVID-19.

See as u dey blow grammar as if u know jack about economics grin even if they like make Dem float naira till eternity, naira will not appreciate against USD if dollar continues to be scarce and the demand for dollar still high. USD is scarce because we don't export more to boost our reserves, the demand for dollar is high because we import more ( this even includes going abroad for education and medical care) and we import more because government policies (including lack of social amenities) do not encourage local productions.

You said floating of naira will curtail excessive demands of USD on a daily basis WTF
If Dem handle FX scarcity first by exporting more and encouraging local productions, then automatically the excessive demands for USD will be insignificant.

Floating of naira is good but the timing is wrong, there are no shortcut to this type of thing, taking shortcuts will make good policies to be counterproductive.

Thank you God for choosing Asiwaju for us

Did you read the story?

According to data from FMDQ OTC Securities Exchange, the local currency opened at N471.67 to the dollar, depreciating to N755 after the float, then recovering to N664.04 at the close of business.

yea. Demand for imported goods will call. This will drive investment to make things locally. Nigeria is slowly becoming a full fledged capitalist country like usa.

What is the bank rate?

yes black market rate . The average Nigerian on the street doesn't have access to CBN rate .
Educate yourself with the new policy. floating the naira will remove the need of black market. It means you can get the dollar from the bank at the prevailing rate.

Very good.

I had predicted the Naira's true value would be between 600-700.

Anyway, I feel the CBN must reduce the Form M red tape. The CBN should also resume sale of Dollars to the BDC. This would bring down the differential between the official and black market rate. It would be excellent if the differential can be reduced to a 2 or 3% band at most.

They should sell to market that they are trying to eliminate.....lol. you dey smoke weed? Keep this your kitchen policy for cupboard.
Re: Naira Begins Recovery After Float, Closes At ₦‎664/$ At I&E Window by loswhite(m): 1:34pm On Jun 15, 2023

The purpose of selling dollars to the BDC is to crash the rate there and bring it close to the bank rate, which would end round tripping.

If it's crashed, there will be little room for roundtripping.

The problem during Buhari's term in office was that he, Buhari himself dictated the exchange rates and not the CBN and Emefiele enabled him.

For instance, in 2021 when the official rate was 410 and black market rate was 480 or so, the BDCs were making huge profits.

If the CBN had floated the Naira then at the official rate, many speculated the official rate would have slid to around 460, reducing huge arbitrage profits for the BDC.

But rather than devalue, the CBN preferred to ban the sale of dollars to the BDCs and requested anyone who wanted dollars to approach the banks. This was a collosal mistake as the process of obtaining dollars from banks is bureaucratic while from the BDCs was instant. This led to a quick crash of the Naira at the black market as it was starved of forex.
Lets assume you need 100 usd from the bank and your gtb naira card does not have limit. will you still go to hausa quarter?

Naira is not devalued

Dollar was scarce because Buhari fix the exchange rate
Sir please be true to yourself, naira has been devalued with no measure to ensure that it will recover.
Also dollar is scarce because nothing is bringing in FX except crude oil, we depend heavily on importation and reckless government policies by finance ministry and CBN has been counterproductive, which has in turn depleted our reserves.

I see where you are going bro.
Note that there are two main issues that will propel inflation further;

-1 The power sector: Local industries will still suffer the expense of production due to the supply of power, that is still directly related to oil and gas prices (generators). Cost price increase.

-2 Transport and logistics costs are still directly related to oil and gas prices and this affects the masses directly. Cost price increase.

As for the capitalism model, yes! you couldn't have said it any better. The only thing is that in capitalism, the poor will be obliterated literally and the poverty index in Nigeria, is just toooo high to risk going that direction of full fledged Capitalism.

That’s black market rate. That doesn’t affect decision making of investors and exporters/importers who use the officer exchange window.
This latest developments can help foreign investors to know whether or not to invest in Nigeria because they now have easy access of moving around their money.

How will this benefit the ordinary Nigerian, will cost of living reduce?

Yes. Cost of living will reduce. Importers will be able to import more for less. They will be able to import quality things, instead of the inferior we are used to.

It is only people living in diaspora that will not like this because any foreign currencies they remit back to Nigeria will fetch them lesser Naira and if things continue like that for close to 5 years, it will make less sense to travel abroad and hustle.

CBN already told you they will sell at market rate. If they sell at a lower rate, that means its no more floating.
That means we are back to where we started if CBN sells at a rate lower than market rate because everyone will target same CBN FX.

Nigeria does not have sufficient FX supply to float the exchange rate
