Bureau de Change (BDC) operators quoted the buying price of
the naira at N1,730 and the selling price at N1,770 — leaving a profit margin
of N40.
At the official window, naira depreciated by 5.99 percent to close at N1665.50/$ on Friday — from N1,571.31/$ per dollar on February 22.
Meanwhile, on Friday, the Association of Bureau De Change
Operators of Nigeria (ABCON) directed its members to abide by extant laws
establishing them.
“In line with our obligations, ABCON supports the drive of
authorities to streamline any illegal economic behaviours,” he said.
Gwadabe also said BDC operators are excluded from the
foreign exchange market and collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) is ongoing to ensure the return of the members’ participation in the
market.
Also, on Friday, the federal government said CBN’s efforts
to reform the FX market have been met with ferocious resistance from
speculators and other unscrupulous players.
