The naira did not fare better on the parallel market, trading between 1,440/$ and 1,460 at the close of trading on Monday, according to Bureau de Change operators.

The naira closed trading on Friday at 1,450/$ at the alternative forex market.

Meanwhile, the naira strengthened at the official window on Monday, after Olayemi Cardoso, the Central Bank of Nigeria governor, reassured that the apex bank was making efforts to tackle the volatility of the currency.

The local currency appreciated by 1.09 per cent to close at 1,419.86/$ at the official forex window, according to data obtained from the FMDQ.

The dollar was sold for 1,435.53/$ on Friday.

Recall that the naira dropped significantly to an all-time low of 1482.57 /$ last week Tuesday at the official window, defying efforts by the apex bank and the Federal Government to boost liquidity in the foreign exchange market.

However, the local currency has rebounded after a series of policy announcements from the CBN.

Earlier on Monday, Cardoso had said that the central bank had put in significant work to remove all the bottlenecks stifling the supply of FX into the country.

“We have addressed the challenges to remittance flows, reduced the ability of banks to hold on to positions, and more importantly, we now have the export proceeds from the national energy sector flowing back through the central bank. We have also initiated a number of short-term measures to make naira assets attractive to foreign investors.

“The eventual stability of the naira will be driven by our ability to address the fundamental issues affecting our economy; bring inflation under control and promote the growth of Nigerian businesses such that we eventually export much more than we consume as a nation.”

He added that the apex bank had settled verified FX requests amounting to $2.3bn, while N2.2bn was the outstanding FX obligation, which he said would be paid very shortly.

Cardoso disclosed that $2.4bn of the $7bn backlog he met when he got into office was contentious.

He said, “We discovered that of the roughly $7bn, about $2.4bn had issues. We believed that they had no business being there. The infractions ranged from so many things.

For example, not having valid import documents and in some cases entities that did not exist and in some cases, account parties who had asked for foreign exchange and got more than they asked for and some that didn’t even ask for any and got. There were a whole load of infractions there.”

In September 2023, FTSE Russell, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group and a provider of market benchmarks and analytics, downgraded Nigeria from a “frontier” to an “unclassified” market over the difficulties that foreign investors have in repatriating their funds.

The central bank commenced the clearing of FX backlog in banks in November 2023. (Punch)
