CBN are just looking ways to strengthen naira. This is a link to the news:
https://dailypost.ng/2024/03/01/forex-crisis-cbn-revokes-operational-licenses-of-4173-bdcs/Although, CBN said the affected institutions failed to observe regulatory provisions.
The regulatory provisions:
These, according to the bank, include payment of all necessary fees, including licence renewal, within the stipulated period in line with Guidelines, rendition of returns in line with the Guidelines, and compliance with guidelines, directives and circulars of the CBN, particularly Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) and Counter-Proliferation Financing (CPF) regulations
There has been new development everyday but the CBN can only try. The price of naira has increased. Let us see if the price of cement and other goods will also be reduced.
But the problem is that as the primary reason for the devaluation of naira has not been solved as Nigeria depend more on foreign goods and services than they are exporting, will naira continue to increase in value? It depreciated to almost $1400 yesterday or day before yesterday in the parallel market but now at over $1500 again.
It just shows that the primary cause of the devaluation of the naira have not been solve, I just wonder if they are actually not thinking, upon all they have done already, the naira is still losing strength, if care is not taken, the naira will still go back to the 1800naira to 1 dollar it was after now.
What the government should be doing is thinking of a way to make the economy better, by commiting more resources for domestic production, by doing so, if the economy stabilize, the naira will also stabilize, and in due time, when the domestic production performance became better and better, the naira will gradually gain strength against the us dollar, but as for now, let's just watch and see where this their actions will lead them to.
