In a historic move, Nigeria has unshackled the Naira, allowing it to dance freely in the currency market. The winds of change have blown through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), heralding a new era in forex.

Official Dollar to Naira Exchange Rate – 04 September 2023

Today’s Naira-to-Dollar exchange rate is making waves. The FMDQ Security Exchange, Nigeria’s official forex trading portal, reports that the Naira started the day at a robust ₦775.17 per dollar. As the day unfolded, it soared, closing at ₦740.38 per greenback, sending ripples through the financial world.

CBN’s Game-Changing Announcement – A United Forex Market

On June 14th, 2023, the CBN issued a groundbreaking announcement. They smashed the silos of segmented forex markets, uniting them under the Investors & Exporters (I&E) window. This move shook the forex landscape and set the stage for transformation.

According to the apex bank, this change is just the beginning. The key takeaways:

  • No More Segmentation: All FX segments have merged into the I&E window, streamlining the process.
  • “Willing Buyer, Willing Seller” Returns: The I&E window now operates on this model, enhancing transparency and accessibility.
  • Operational Rate Clarity: Government-related transactions will follow a precise operational rate.
  • No More Trading Limits: Oversold FX positions can now hedge short positions with OTC futures.
  • Order-Based Two-Way Quotes: Bid-ask spreads of N1 and transactions cleared by a Central Counter Party (CCP) ensure fair trading.
  • Order Book Transparency: The reintroduction of an Order Book enhances order transparency and execution.
  • Trading Hours: Trading hours have been set from 9 a.m to 4 p.m, Nigeria time, ensuring consistency.

These sweeping changes signify Nigeria’s commitment to a free-floating exchange rate system, allowing market forces to dictate the Naira’s destiny. No longer constrained by central bank controls, the Naira is set free to find its true value on the world stage.
