Nigeria Running 3 Forex Market Regimes? by chibecan(op): 12:26am On May 14, 2016
Following the announcement by the federal government that it is removing fuel subsidy and by wffect directed all marketers to source forex at 298naira to 1$ i am a bit confused about the whole arrangement. Prior to this new forex regime we have the official rate@198naira to 1$ and the black market rate around 322 naira to 1$.
Does it now mean we have 3 different forex markets namely the official market, the parallel market and the newly imtroduced one for fuel importers?
I need a good explanation of the new scenario from experts here on nairaland.
The floor is open.
Thanks for your inputs

The Naira will be devalued to 290.
So that will be the official rate.

There have always been black market from the very start and their price is always higher than the official rate.

Remember Buy price can't be same as Sell price.
The official Sell price will always be higher than Buy price.
