Black market exchange
About the black Market exchange rate
A parallel foreign exchange market system is one in which transactions
take place at more than one exchange rate and at least one of the prevailing rates is a freely floating, market-determined.
Parallel exchange rate systems may be legal or illegal. When the parallel market for foreign exchange is legal, it is often referred to as a dual exchange rate (DER) system. In these cases, most current account transactions take place at a pegged commercial rate, and capital account transactions at a market-determined financial rate.
Illegal parallel market systems emerge when private agents attempt
to evade restrictions on the price or quantity of foreign exchange transactions. Illegal parallel markets are the norm in most of Africa especially Nigeria, which has
never successfully unified its exchange rate.
Black market exchange is a platform where currencies are brought and sold. This markets may or may not be guided by a central authority but there is always an agreement between the seller and buyer. This agreement is usually based on the volume of money been sold or bought. In essence, the black market is a free market, regulated only by supply and demand.
Local black market operation
The physical black market is not a place you rush in and rush out. You must be careful. You should go there with someone familiar with how they operate. Make sure you visit a bureau de exchange who has an office. Ensure you have written down the serial number of your dollar notes (if it’s just a few notes). To avoid hearing… ”This is fake” I have heard complaints from people who took original dollar note and ended been fake after it was checked by the exchangers.
In Nigeria, the Hausas had been the major players in black market currencies exchange. Even banks with FX issues usually advise customers to visit the bureau de exchange. How do they make money?
In the black market currency exchange, they buy from at a cheaper rate. For example, the dollar is pegged at 411 Naira to 1 dollar at the parallel market. At the black market, if you’re selling your 1 dollar to get Naira today, the abokis would buy from you at a lower price. Let say they buy at 1 dollar for 357 Naira as opposed to 360 and sell for 362.
In black market currencies exchange, the dollar denomination will determine how much the abokis will be willing to buy. 100 dollar note may sell for 357, 50 dollar note may sell for 355, 20 dollar note may sell for 350. It is always advised to exchange the highest dollar note.
Why dollars is higher than Naira today
The currency Naira is falling due to both tactical and strategic blunder. Nigeria’s economy is fragile and weak because Nigeria operates one commodity-based economy, which is oil, a major source of her foreign currency.
In the short-range, Nigeria is obsessed with easy money of oil trading and outrightly rejects the growing diversifications of her economy she initiated. A great nation like Nigeria has refused to grow her economy with all the natural and human capital at her disposal.
Nigeria exports the crude oil to developed nations who refines the oil and Nigeria will, in turn, buy back the refined oil from the outside and subsidize the gasoline for local consumption. The oil refineries are not performing at an appreciable and optimum level, instead they are abandoned to waste away for Nigeria lacks maintenance culture.
This logic, mindset and modus operandi towards wealth creation forges and set the stage for the scarcity of dollars.
