Naira Soars To 450/Dollar as Dollar Scarcity Fades Out.

-




The naira climbed to a three-month high at 450 against the United States dollar on the parallel market on Friday, as the scarcity of the greenback began to fade out on the official and black foreign exchange markets.

This came four days after the Central Bank of Nigeria commenced the implementation of the reformed foreign exchange policy aimed at boosting dollar supply on the official market.





The local currency, which had tumbled to 520/dollar on Monday, closed at 495 on Thursday.

Following the announcement of the new forex policy measures by the CBN on Monday, the naira commenced a gradual reversal of its previous losses, closing at 512/dollar on Tuesday.

It recorded further gain on Wednesday and Thursday, closing at 505/dollar and 495/dollar, respectively.

Foreign exchange traders said the CBN had intervened on the official market in recent days.

On Friday, the CBN sold $1.5m on the interbank market at 305 per dollar to boost liquidity, Reuters reported, quoting traders.

Iranians and Iraqis planning to fly to the United States were prevented from boarding on Saturday after US President Donald Trump’s order to restrict arrivals from seven Muslim countries. On Friday Trump signed a sweeping executive order to suspend the arrival of refugees and impose tough new controls on travellers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. His move sparked widespread criticism and concern across the world. Travellers from the Middle East were stopped from boarding US-bound planes and some already in the air when Trump signed the executive order were detained on arrival, the New York Times reported. In Tehran, two travel agencies told AFP they had been instructed by Etihad Airways, Emirates and Turkish Airlines not to sell US tickets or allow Iranians holding American visas to board US-bound flights.
