Forex: CBN Injects Agric, Raw Materials Into $327m, CNY69m For Retail SMIS

-

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), on Friday, August 10, 2018, injected the sum $327,440,499.50 into the interbank retail Secondary Market Intervention Sales, in addition to the sale of CNY69,707,333.39 in the spot and short-tenored forwards.

The figures obtained from the CBN on Friday, August 10, 2018 showed that the US$-denominated interventions were only for concerns in the agricultural and raw materials sectors.

Commenting on the latest injection, Isaac Okorafor, CBN’s Acting Director, Corporate Communications, said the exercise which was in tune with the guidelines, for the payment of Renminbi denominated Letters of Credit for agriculture as well as raw materials.
He added that the sales in the Chinese Yuan were through a combination of spot and short-tenored forwards, arising from bids received from authorized dealers.

While noting that availability of Renminbi was sure to ease pressure on the Nigerian foreign exchange market, Okorafor attributed the relative stability in the foreign exchange market to the intervention of the CBN as well as the sustained increase in crude oil prices in the international market. He further assured that the CBN would remain committed to ensuring that all the sectors continue to enjoy access to the needed foreign exchange by Nigerians.
Meanwhile, $1 exchanged for N360 at the Bureau de Change (BDC) segment of the foreign exchange market, while CNY 1 exchanged for N53.35.

The reason only a tiny percentage of the population achieves any significant success or wealth through stock is that few are willing to go through the process of what it takes to achieve in the stock market, and there is no shortcut. In fact, everybody has to go through four levels of learning every single time, and often, in the process - fail, regroup and begin again. Most people blame others like government policies, currency fluctuation, political instability, the election for stopping their progress, but in truth, there's only one person who can put on the parking break and that person is YOU. Furthermore, many people drive around with the break on without knowing it, or once awareness arrives, don't know how to lif...
