FOREIGN EXCHANGE, BDCs AND CBN GOVERNOR'S POLICY SOMERSAULT

By Dr. Adeola Adeyemi

It is quite pathetic and worrisome the recent foreign currency policy somersault of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under the leadership of its Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele. The policy which is that CBN will stop giving BDCs foreign currency is capable of completely destroying many businesses and households. This anti-economic cum financial policy is coming amidst obvious economic challenges occasioned by poor financial policies of CBN, economic recession and COVID-19 pandemic.

It would be recalled that the country slipped into economic recession few months after Emefiele assumed office as CBN Governor in 2014. Since then till date, Emefiele has shown that he lacks the knowledge and experience to turn around the country's economy and finances for good.

One can say without mincing words that for Emefiele, being the CBN governor is all about making policies about foreign exchange that will be of personal benefit to the banks and his paymasters in foreign exchange related businesses to the detriment of the economy and the rest of Nigerians, especially the middle class and downtrodden.

This is not surprising considering that Mr Emefiele was appointed into CBN from Zenith bank. So, it is a case of him protecting his personal interest and that of his allies in the banking sector without minding the adverse multiplier effect on the citizens and economy at large. Zenith bank which has phobia and hatred for anything Bureau De Change became so strong and comfortable with Emefiele's elevation. Zenith bank as early as the inception of Bureau De Change never agreed to open a corporate account for BDCs. It doesn't also issue instruments in favour of BDCs. This is the prejudice and bias Mr Emefiele took to the CBN. Upon assumption of office as CBN governor he made nonsense of domiciliary account by putting in place policies that took Nigerians backwards.

Domiciliary account holders would travel abroad with their foreign exchange debit cards only to find out that they could only access maximum of $300 in a day. The cost of hotel accommodation, feeding and others is none of Emefiele's concern or worry. A lot of micro, small and medium business enterprises that hitherto put money together and import a forty feet container have been put out of business as a result of deliberate policies of banks supported by CBN to frustrate them and their businesses.

This is in an environment that unemployment is fuelling all sorts of problems and increasing crime rate.

The CBN before now has been hitting the BDCs below the belt. The apex bank would just pick some BDCs at random and sanction them and make them pay #5m each for an offence only known to the CBN. The latest allegation against the BDCs is that they are laundering money. What is the volume of foreign exchange given to the BDCs as a percentage of the whole. It is very insignificant and infinitesimal amount.

Assuming without conceding that some BDCs launder money, is that enough reason for CBN to put the entire people in the sector of the economy out of business without weighing the grave consequences? Is there no way CBN can curb such illicit activity if any exist? A Bureau De Change employs at least four persons. Each person has at least four dependants. It is clear that to the CBN governor, there is nothing wrong in throwing away the baby with the bath water.

It would be recalled that Prof. Charles Soludo was at a time the governor of CBN and the economy thrived. Please can someone advice Mr. Emefiele to search his office filing cabinet for some memos by Prof Solude, especially those that relate to foreign exchange policies . No doubt, Mr Emefiele will learn some lessons.

Today the exchange rate of dollar to naira is #515 as against the #503 few days ago that the BDCs were in operation. So even out of business BDCs are still making the exchange rate to go up?

Haba, Emefiele and his team should wake up from slumber and hallucination and proffer lasting solution to the financial cum economic woes of the country. BDCs are not the causes of rising inflation and dwindling economy. They should not be used as sacrificial lamb by Emefiele and CBN. BDCs have been supportive of the CBN policies and country's economy. They have provided succour and assistance to the people when it mattered most. They are genuine and legal business entities like every other one in the country.

Shutting the door behind them means adding more woes to the country's dwindling economy. It is time the leadership of the country call Emefiele to order because he is completely destroying the fragile and struggling economy of the country which he had failed to fix since emerging as CBN Governor. Silence is not golden at this point. It is not only about the BDCs, it is about Nigerians and survival of their economy.

Nobody is arguing you.
We are looking at what makes CBN to carry out this sanction.Do you think CBN don't have eye to see?
I will suggest you watch the adverse effects on the economy generally before defending the firms involved.
Thank God this conversation is gravitating the attentions of our Ogas here.

Back to Loco,what CBN should have done is to set up a framework for their operations and bring them to regulatory net, BANNING is not the way to go at all.

Besides some of these companies were licensed by SEC and SEC has regulatory oversight to track and report illicit financial transactions.

I can keep calm ooo,CBN is seriously encroaching my territory too much.

Good evening @Nigerialabalaba

I having been reading and following your submissions since you opened discussion on this Fx matters and at this juncture, I want to let you you know that you have little or no knowledge about dynamics of FX at all.

If you have been tracking Nigeria Balance of payment in the last 5 years, you will discover Nigeria has been consistently recording balance of payment deficit, which implies we have been importing far more than what we are exporting. what this means is our dollar earnings is dwindling but we are spending more dollars everyday.

The diasporas that should be helping to reduce dollar demand pressure are holding on tight to their hard earned dollar as they know naira loses value quickly.

Our politicians are making dollar scare, as proceeds of their corrupt activities are always stashed in dollars(in their wardrobes),also the rule of PTA/BTA does not apply to them as some of them spend as high as $150,000 to $300,000 on a single trip.

If we want naira to be strong, we need to start exporting massively so that we can have more dollars.

The fintechs are not the problem at all as the FX they consume is insignificant.

Let borrow Mr President phrase

Fintechs dollar demand is A DOT IN THE CIRCLE

This group is fast derailing. Surprisingly the main actors of the derailment have not been regulars here. It appears like they just invaded this platform, hijacked it in order to discourse their own topic which does not align with the aim of this thread.
For the avoidance of doubt, the thread is NIGERIAN STOCK EXCHANGE MARKET PICK ALERT.
May we be properly guided please.
@Mpeace

We are not derailing

It is an educative conversations that should be encouraged especially at this time when our thread is experiencing graveyard silence.

Back to the matter,I am loaded in cryptocurrency, foreign stocks, foreign bonds and local stocks.

you can imagine if you invested $1,000 each in NYSE and NSE ten years ago, assuming both stocks are stagnant in prices, which platform do you think has moved your ministry forward?

Perhaps this CBN banning here and there is eroding investors confidence and this is seriously affecting our NSE and may make things go worse.

Our Chief central banker has failed us and the companies listed on the NSE are expose to hostile take over.
I wont be surprised one day if Flutterwave announce its plans to acquire our Zenith bank and First bank or KUDA Bank targeting our Fidelity bank.

Nigerialabalaba:
Una good evening Sir Guru.
Thank you so very much for your insights. I gbadun you. I agree 100% that our aggregate output and export needs to go up and the numbers coming from nbs, especially before covid-19, dey show that our PMI has started increasing and you sef see say the intervention by CBN dey help many companies get back up so tey some have significantly reduced their finance cost and now have more to share or reinvest.

Oga Guru, I just want you to know say we know wetin dey go on but like to dey blame everyone except ourselves individually.

We play on wetin guys wey sabi book dey call FUD so that perception go go against naira and dem fit cash out through these wayo 'fintechs '. You just embellished it by suggesting that naira loses value quickly and I begin dey wonder if na Zimbabwe you dey talk about. I don even read here way some endtime prophet of doom say naira go reach N1000 to $1 before last December and they fuel FUD against naira so dem go fit cash out. I no wan say God go punish dem but I know say the kind punishment God go give dem go be like the one wey God do Anini , Monday Osunbor and Evans .

I dey remind you say na dis kain talk dey make those unpatriotic cheats dey hoard fx and still dey spread FUD to make those who get the fx no release am.
Now to how our balance of trade for the past 5 years dey go down, na oil price wey go down and dey fetch us like 90% of our fx cause am. Unfortunately, some people wey think say na only dem get sense come put petrol for the fire wey dey burn us with oil and electricity subsidy. Those people na the economic saboteurs behind these "fintech ". The court papers has established that they were diverting fx that CBN released for special intervention in critical areas of the Nigerian economy, go dey use the money dey buy US stocks and crypto. Bros, you use style dodge that place. This fx fraud has been going on for the 5 years you mentioned and it keeps rising. I no get the data on the fraudulent fx exportation going into the US stocks but for just binance, nairametrics reported that $38m was exported in June and it went up by $1m in July to $39m. If you do naira conversion, that is N19.5 billion being exchanged for US for crypto alone. This is just conservative and if you extrapolate the data I get from BBC, you go know say you underestimate the magnitude of the sabotage these guys dey cause https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56169917
As at 2020, the total monthly trade in crypto is $65m and that is $780m in 2020 alone . That is N390 billion( almost the annual budget of Lagos for 20 million people) being exported criminally for USD and this number has gone up now unless CBN prosecute these guys.

These wayo 'fintech' guys, their collaborators wey dey disguise as customers and the thieving politicians will all face the same judgement; they will gather but never enjoy it let alone bequeath it to their descendants. They will lose everything at last because dem all be thieves . Forget the whataboutism, wetin no good is not good.
If no be God and few patriotic Nigerian investors, these bad people go don even kill our NSE sef! Na those kind bad people you dey scare to call out? Abeg, make dem go face their case. Person wey sabi wetin hin dey do now should bring his clean money come NSE. All the people wey wan kill Nigeria and NSE no go succeed. Na jail dem go end at last if dem no repent now.
Oga,
I hear you but still can't see any reason I should align with your position.

Are you now saying the Governments of the countries where our FPIs are coming should adopt the same strategy to protect their currencies?,because investing in foreign stocks,bonds etc is a form of FPI.

Our politicians and elites send their children abroad for schooling and you still don't identify this as FX drainer.

Buhari ,Tinubu, politicians and other prominent Nigerians have been wasting FX on medical tourism,but CBN governor has not seen reasons he should stop giving them our scarce dollar.

Just recently,our CBN governor celebrated his birthday in Jamaica where all banks CEOs, dignitaries graced the occasion,am sure plenty dollars would have been wasted there too.

An average Nigerian has penchant for foreign goods and government is not doing anything to discourage this.

See, the factors responsible for consistent depreciation of naira are just too many and government refused to address them.

Any monetary policy that will not favour the politicians and top Nigerians but will favour Nigeria CBN will be foot dragging,but any policy that will affect the commoner,CBN will swiftly implement.
I pray God elevate us to the class of these top Nigerians so that we can use FX the way we like.
Lastly,my brother,the world is now a very small global village,let CBN block all Fintechs operating in the country,the Fintechs will have their ways soon and our naira will continue on her journey to #5,000/$1.
