The local currency weakened by N0.09 against the dollar when compared to the N386.55 to a dollar it traded on Wednesday, May 20, 2020.

The foreign exchange market has witnessed improved liquidity recently, following intervention by the Central Bank of Nigeria. The apex bank had promised to make foreign exchange available for activities that would help boost the economy and generate jobs for Nigerians.

The CBN Governor had also advised businesses to stop patronizing the parallel market as it had the ability to meet the genuine demands of businesses that needed foreign exchange.

Meanwhile, in a related development, according to a monitored report from the punch, the President of the Association of Bureau De Change Operators (ABCON), Aminu Gwadabe, warned members and forex speculators buying up dollars and putting pressure on the naira to stop such activities or risk losing their money.

He said that the CBN had concluded plans to resume dollar sales to BDCs very soon and that the return of the BDCs to the forex market would help strengthen the naira.
