The Naira on Thursday crashed further against the major currencies in all the segments of the market.
At the interbank market, the naira fell by 2.99 points to close at N313.07 from N310. 08 recorded on Wednesday.
At the Bureau De Change segment of the market, the naira traded at N424, N549 and N468 to the dollar, Pound Sterling and the Euro respectively.
Trading at the parallel market showed that the naira lost 8 points to close at N436, from N428 posted on Wednesday while it traded at N555 and N472 against the Pound Sterling and the Euro respectively.
Traders at the market said that the scarcity of the greenback was still hunting the market.
Meanwhile, Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, the President Association of Bureau De Change Operators of Nigeria said that he foresees the naira on the path of recovery by Monday.
Gwadabe, “The naira will begin to recover by Monday when Travelex begins to sell forex to BDCs.”
Gwadabe said that with the coming onboard of Travelex, a licensed forex dealer, efficiency, transparency and equitable distribution of forex would be restored in the market.
Since the implementation of the flexible exchange rate by the Central Bank of Nigeria, the gap between the official interbank rate and the parallel market continued to soar.
The naira, which had opened at N285 at the launch of the policy, had depreciated by 10 per cent while it continued to crash further at the parallel market.

DeleteTraders at the market said that the scarcity of the greenback was still hunting the market...This is understandable.
ReplyDeleteThe source of more than 90% of foreign exchange is down. Until the price of crude oil rises tremendously l do not expect any miracle. You can keep insulting yourselves with the hope that you are insulting a man old enough to be your grandfather and be expecting him to fix the damage that was done to our nation for 16 years in less than 18 months. There are no quick fixes to the recession....Blast
U r a fool cos if Gej were still in power this won't happen never,they knew how to handle the economy not this clueless government
DeleteOdigie don't be a fool. Buhari travelling with 108people to a summit that he wouldn't be missed if he didn't attend. Read about Tanzania's new president now that's someone fighting corruption. Fake ass people. Nigeria is dead to me
DeleteThank you odigie tell the hunger stricken retards
DeleteAnon 8:50,you are the fool! Just because Gej used thefts to cover fraud doesn't mean things would have been better it would be worse! Anuofia stupid goat!
DeleteUnder Obasanjo, YarAdua and Jonathan CBN sold 66 billion dollars to bureau De change operators. Who does that. No other nation has ever done that. We had dollars in abundance and government didn't know what to do, confusion became the order of the day. sensible people save in the time of surplus. Excessive corruption was encouraged.
ReplyDeleteEnd time currency

Everything is going up in price including toothpicks and matches box. companies are either laying off or cutting salaries, no more bonus and allowances. on top of it one person doing 3 persons functions. Even power dist. company #IKEDC are sending high bills for light and they refused to distribute prepaid meters so that they can exploit.

ReplyDeletePlease people, I know this doesnt relate to the post, but I need urgent answer. Is N-power holding online exams tomorrow? I have been trying to log into my account and it has not been going thru. Can anybody tell me what to do? Thank you.
ReplyDeletewhen a foolish child inherits his father's wealth, he will squander the wealth and blame people around him. that's what Buhari APC govt has done to Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteOrdinarily I would have laughed but this is no longer funny. Meanwhile, this is a good time to make investments back home. When I convert just 1000euro to naira I can't just help but smile but after thinking of the people back home my heart starts bleeding. It is well as long as the Lord is still on the throne.
