The government was forced to introduce strict measures such as banning the Interbank forex market and also 41 items from being eligible for forex,Īt same time forex was given to those who the government sees as qualified to receive them.ELECTRIC BRAIN CONSTRUCTION KIT, 1960 MODEL Nigeria started to witness low inflow of Dollars from the sale of oil because of the collapse of oil prices in the international market. Though the exchange rate was stable and sold for 148 nairaĪnd went high to 164 naira at the end of 2014. The Nigerian government didn’t capitalize on the rise in oil prices to build up its reserves. Recalled that Soludo banned the Interbank and WDAS markets? Yes he did but this time all these were reversed by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi when oil prices went up again. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (June 2009-Feb 2014) Point to note : when Soludo came into office exchange rate was around 127 naira to $1 and when he left 147. Please note that at this point Nigeria has multiple exchange rate such as CBN, Interbank, Bureau de Change and wire rates, what Soludo did was to harmonise this rate together, allowed certain things like medical, credit card bills.ĭuring this time there were no need to buy forex in the black market or bureaux de change, exchangers were thrown out the market.Įven when oil prices fell to $50 per barrel Nigerians didn’t feel the impact as there was enough Dollars to cushion the effect. At this point Excess Crude Account (ECA) was introduced which had over $20 billion at the end of 2008. Nigerian government now has more Dollars to save and used to expand the economy. Subsequently the government miraculously obtained a debt relief of The Nigeria economy started to boom again, this time oil price rose steadily from just $30 per barrel to $140 per barrel. Chukwuma Soludo (2004-2009) and The Oil Boom One should note that at this time Nigeria was struggling to clear its foreign debt debt servicing alone was taking a toll on the economyĪt a time the Naira was under much pressure which lead to the collapse of the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market (IFEM), bank were instructed to limit the sale of Dollar. The Naira was devalued to 85 naira while at same time the black market exchange rate was 105 to $1. He quickly introduced the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market (IFEM) which aim was to narrow the gap between the official exchange rate and the black exchange rate. Joseph Sanusi (CBN governor 1999 to 2004)Īfter the military boys left government and handed over to a Democratically elected government, Joseph Sanusi was appointed CBN governor, Note that the official exchange rate was 22 naira, the black market exchange rate was around 88 naira to 1 $. Infact black market exchange rate became much pronounced more than ever in the history of Nigeria. Expert now suggests that this gave birth to forex black market. The government then was only able to achieve this feet with a rigid exchange rate. Please note that oil price under Sani Abacha regime was hovering around $20 per barrel and Nigeria was faced with numerous economic problems and some level of economic sanctions by the West leaving the government with little amount of dollars to go round the economy. At that time the regime introduced the Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (AFEM) that engaged in the the sale of Naira to those who need it. The Naira was exchanged at 22 naira for $1 officially. Late President Sani Abacha held the Naira with an iron grip for a period of five years. To speed up industrialization as witness in China and other country with weaker currency. Things did not get much better as most people expected at least a weaker naira should help the economy A United States Dollar ($1) was exchange at 90 koboīut by 1993 after the brahim Babaginda†s regime came to an end the Naira has sheded much value and was exchange at 11 naira for $1.Īt this critical point the country had to introduce the bureaux de change. It will be recalled before now (around 70s), the Naira enjoys a better exchange rate against the Dollar.
The then administration had no choice rather than to accept the conditionality because of the pressure the Naira and the economy as a whole was under. The Second-Tier Foreign Exchange Market (SFEM) is a product of the IMF which was presented to former President Ibrahim Babaginda†s regime.
