The Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) has finally allowed the
market forces to determine the true value of the local currency against
other currencies across the world.
This was disclosed by Godwin Emefiele, governor of the bank, who spoke at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
Emefiele
said the bank will operate a single trading window, which will take off
on June 20, 2016, adding that the CBN will only step in from time to
time regulate the market.
Emefiele
said the bank will appoint less than a dozen primary dealers who would
now be in charge of foreign exchange trading, driving flexibility in the
system.
The governor added that the 41 banned items remain banned, and cannot access forex from the new window.
