The naira has enjoyed relative stability against the dollar since December 2024 due to sustained reforms by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The reforms are aimed at ensuring transparency in the foreign exchange (FX) market.
The apex bank’s reforms are also boosting capacity of BDCs who are in the retail end of the foreign exchange market.
The CBN on Tuesday, January 28, approved waivers on the 2025 annual license renewal fee for all existing BDC operators.
The bank also on Monday, February 3, extended deadline for sales of dollars to BDCs from January 31 until May 30, 2025.
