Expert Warns CBN Over Banks’ Forex Ban
The decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria to stop the sale of foreign exchange to deposit money banks has attracted reactions from financial analysts.
Pat Utomi, a renowned economist, in an interview with Punch, claimed that the decision of CBN might worsen dollar scarcity, increase inflationary pressures and fuel exchange rate shocks.
Recall that the Governor of CBN, Godwin Emefiele, last Thursday advised banks to begin plans to meet their forex needs from export proceeds as it would soon stop selling forex to them.
According to Emefiele, the decision was reached due to the apex bank’s new commitment to boosting the country’s foreign exchange reserves through proceeds from non-oil exports.
