CBN sets new rules for BDCs to stabilize dollar rate
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has set new rules for Bureau De Change (BDC) operators to improve the foreign exchange market’s efficiency. This comes two years after CBN stopped selling dollars to BDCs to stabilize the market. The new guidelines don’t confirm a resumption of dollar sales to BDCs.
According to a recent circular, the margin for buying and selling by BDCs is set between -2.5% and +2.5% based on the prior day’s average exchange rate. BDCs must submit regular reports on the Financial Institution Form Rendition System (FIFX). If they don’t, they risk losing their license. Even without transactions, they need to report no activity.
In August 2021, CBN stopped selling forex to BDCs, pointing out misuse for illegal forex activities. Instead, forex sales would be via commercial banks, said the then-governor, Godwin Emefiele. He expressed concerns over BDCs engaging in corrupt practices.
Recently, the acting CBN governor, Folashodun Shonubi, met with President Bola Tinubu. He attributed the high dollar-naira exchange rate at BDCs to speculators. Measures will be introduced to combat speculative activities.
Shonubi emphasized to journalists that the parallel market isn’t just influenced by economic demand and supply but also by speculators. He informed President Tinubu about upcoming plans, hinting that speculators might face significant losses soon.
