what is the different between black market exchange rate and cbn exchange rate
The black market exchange rate and the CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria) exchange rate refer to two different ways of valuing a currency, such as the Nigerian Naira.
The CBN exchange rate is the official exchange rate set by the Central Bank of Nigeria. It is the rate at which the Central Bank is willing to buy or sell foreign currencies to banks and other authorized forex dealers. The CBN exchange rate is usually determined by a number of factors, such as the level of foreign reserves, the demand and supply of foreign currencies, and the government’s economic policies. The CBN exchange rate is usually more stable and predictable than the black market exchange rate.
On the other hand, the black market exchange rate is the rate at which currencies are traded in the informal market, outside the purview of the official exchange system. It is usually determined by the forces of demand and supply, and can vary widely from the CBN exchange rate. The black market exchange rate is often higher than the official rate, reflecting the scarcity of foreign currencies in the market, and the perceived risk of trading outside the official channels.
While trading at the black market exchange rate may offer certain advantages, such as obtaining foreign currencies quickly and avoiding bureaucratic procedures, it also carries significant risks, such as fraud, theft, and legal sanctions. It is therefore recommended to use official channels, such as banks and registered forex bureaus, to exchange currencies at the prevailing market rate.
