The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has issued a directive to Bureau de Change (BDC) operators to sell the US dollar at a fixed rate of N1,269 per dollar in a bid to regulate the foreign exchange market and curb exchange rate fluctuations.

Dr Hassan Mahmud, Director of the CBN’s Trade and Exchange Department, communicated this directive through a circular.

In it, the CBN asked each BDC to sell a maximum of $10,000 at a rate of N1,251 per dollar and not to sell to eligible customers at rates exceeding 1.5 per cent above the purchase price, equivalent to N1,269 per dollar.

The move comes as part of the CBN’s efforts to stabilize the exchange rate and combat inflation.
