Even if dollar price comes down, Nigerian merchants will not change their price.

They will say they are still watching the market trend.

Witches like Aisha Yusuf will still come online after some weeks to encourage people not to release their dollars and hoard them.

I remembered when they dropped it to about N1,000 earlier this year from N1,900 or so. We Nigerians are opportunistic and also greedy just like our politicians. We have a long way to go.

As far as you keep borrowing to fund Fell good projects... Naira would keep falling

Nigerians import far less today than we did in 2015 yet naira is way weaker... What changed?

APC lead government since under Buhari to Tinubu are the biggest consumers of dollars... Government demand for dollars to pay of loans increased demand and with lower supply exchange rate claims

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has issued revised guidelines for participants in the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM) following the consolidation of all FX market windows. These new rules replace earlier circulars and guidelines.

Key Points:
1. **Authorized Dealers' Role**:
- Facilitate FX transactions for firms and individuals.
- Ensure compliance with relevant laws and guidelines.
- Provide transparent pricing and digital market access solutions.

2. **Legitimate Transactions**:
- All FX transactions must involve Authorized Dealers.
- Dealing with unlicensed intermediaries is prohibited.

3. **Bureaux de Change (BDCs)**:
- Licensed BDCs may purchase FX from Authorized Dealers to meet customer needs, within CBN's stipulated monthly caps.

These guidelines aim to deepen the FX market and ensure transparency and compliance.
