In a circular signed by W.J Kanya, acting director, trade

$20,000.

 

“This is to inform the Bureau De Change (BDC) Operators and
the general public that we are providing more liquidity into the market,” CBN
said.

 

“To this end, the CBN has approved the sale of US$20,000.00
to each eligible BDC at the rate of N1,580/$.

 

 “This is to meet the
demand for invisible transactions.”

 

According to the apex bank, all BDCs are allowed to sell to
eligible end-users at a margin not more than 1 percent above the purchase rate
from CBN.

 

CBN also directed interested eligible BDCs to make the naira
payment to the CBN deposit account numbers with them.

 

 “Also, payment
confirmation and all necessary documentation for disbursement are to be
submitted at the appropriate CBN branches – (Abuja, Awka, Kano and Lagos) for
collection of the US$20,000.00,” CBN added.

 

On July 18, CBN approved the sale of FX to BDC operators at
N1,450 per dollar to meet the demand for invisible transactions.
