The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is set to release new foreign exchange guidelines on Wednesday, June 15, 2016.
The apex bank made the announcement via its Twitter account on Tuesday night.
In the tweet, the Bank said: “CBN set to release new Guidelines on flexibility in the Foreign Exchange Market structure on Wednesday, June 15, 2016.”
recall that at its meeting in May, the Central Bank of Nigeria’s monetary policy committee (MPC) recommended that the bank consider a flexible exchange rate system.
The bank then said it was going to open a critical exchange rate window to allow inflow of foreign exchange, unveiling a list of verified bureau de change operators in the country.
“The Committee expressed concern over sustained pressure in the foreign exchange market and the necessity of implementing reforms to engender greater flexibility of rate and transparency in the operation of the inter-bank foreign exchange market,” Godwin Emefiele, governor of the bank, had said back in May.
“Accordingly, the Committee noted that it was time to introduce greater flexibility in the management of the foreign exchange market.”
